André Verschoor, Mack Stolwijk and Henk van Vliet combine their consultancies in the field of structural engineering under the name: Pelecon structural engineers. With offices in Gouda and Amersfoort.
The desire to grow in people, expertise and assignments had existed at both companies for some time. Just like the desire to give the team the opportunity to develop. To learn from new colleagues and to carry out other challenging assignments within a broader national and international work field. Pelecon Gouda and Pelecon Amersfoort, as the branches are called, will remain the same in terms of team composition. "In that respect, our regular clients will still feel at home at our office after the merger. Whereby our challenge is to continue to surprise with an ever-growing expertise," said Henk van Vliet.
Mack continues, "We are going to share the best of both companies. The biggest advantage of this is that we will be able to serve our potential and existing customers even better because of the larger capacity. Also, together as one Pelecon, we can innovate more easily than before. For example in the field of 3D-BIM and parametric design. Together we want to make great strides in the integration of our calculation and modeling work in order to design even more sharply. In which sustainability is an important aspect; we will work Pelecon-wide with our clients to drastically reduce the negative environmental impact of the structures we design."
André Verschoor explains that the merger creates many opportunities: "We are already very strong in logistics real estate, industry and stacked housing construction. As a larger agency, we can and want to participate in future European tenders for schools, town halls or museums, for example. We are available, for example, for quick scans, design sketches and second opinions."
In short: the three gentlemen are eagerly looking forward to the future, in which entrepreneurship will hopefully yield great results. The team is on edge, ready to take on the new challenge!
