Sandvik

In the Harnasch polder in Den Hoorn, near Delft, Sandvik built a new 16,000 m² European distribution centre. A building in which energy positivity, reuse and user well-being are central, developed for today and tomorrow.

Designed by OPL Architects and developed by Delta Development in collaboration with Drees & Sommer, this distribution centre symbolises circular thinking in the logistics sector. The steel construction is largely demountable, materials are Cradle-to-Cradle certified and recorded in a digital materials passport.

Built on the Design for Disassembly principle, the building is easily adaptable, scalable or demountable in the future. Solar panels on the roof provide ample energy for its own use. Smart installations, robotisation and maximum use of daylight reduce energy consumption and increase comfort.

Inside, people take centre stage. The working environment is designed with extra attention to air quality, light and greenery. The office and warehouse spaces flow seamlessly into each other and encourage cooperation. Around the building, planting and water management systems enhance biodiversity.

The building achieved the sustainability label BREEAM-NL 'Very Good' and was built by Systabo BV.

Circular. Energy-positive. Built for growth.
Sandvik's distribution centre is a new standard in logistics real estate, ready to move with the future without losing sight of the planet.
