Our working partnership with Mammoet dates back many years now – in the early days under the name Marcon, but nowadays known ubiquitously as Mam-moet. Mammoet provides solutions for numerous lifting- and transportation-related challenges. The decision to relocate to new company premises at the Chemelot Industrial Park in Sittard-Geleen is no coincidence.

Clients of Mammoet-Zuid – as well as Frijns Industrial Group, DSM and Sabic – are already located at Chemelot. Project deliverables include the supply, as-sembly and treatment of approximately 100 tons of steel framework and roof/wall cladding. Cladding comprises approximately 1,400 m² [15,000 sq ft] of wall and corrugated panelling and 650 m² [7,000 sq ft] of roof sheeting. Project completion is scheduled for the end of June.

New company premises for Mammoet-Zuid at Chemelot

Client: Jongen Landgraaf AannemersbedrijfArchitect: Bruls en Co Architecten This project highlights our company’s versatility and ability to construct not only heavy-duty steel frames, but also lightweight structures. The project is also a perfect match for the Frijns Industrial Group’s capabilities.It comprises the construction, treatment and assembly of the main staircase from the ground floor to the third floor.

The contract also includes the supply and assembly of stairwells, concrete treads, landings, two 34-m lengths of galvanized railings and lintels for brickwork. Steel surfaces are to be partially galvanized and partially double powder-coated.

Castellated or cellular beams are used as the main steel girders that provide a structure’s principal load-bearing support. Beams formed by cutting a standard cross-section in half longitudinally, displacing each half along this same axis and then welding the two halves back together are ideally suited to bearing moder-ate loads over large spans. Advantages are gained by virtue of these beams’ low intrinsic weights, variable heights, the piping and cable feed-throughs created by the cut-outs, and their potential for adding aesthetic appeal to a construc-tion. Several examples include castellated beams, welded porthole beams and Angelina™ cellular beams with elliptical cut-outs. Frijns Plaatligger Produkties in Maastricht recently manufactured several Angelina™ cellular beams on behalf of Arcelor Mittal. The beam is approximately one and a half times as high as a regu-lar beam and has a far higher load-bearing capacity than that of regular beams of the same weight.

Frijns Industrial Group is supplying and assembling approximately 100 tons of steel framework in partnership with Meerssen-based engineering firm Jacobs Nederland BV at the Olefins 4 cracking plant as part of efforts being made to improve its energy position and reduce its CO2 emission levels. Forty tons of new piping support is also being installed in existing overhead gantries across the entire plant. Work is being carried out in an operational production facility where flexibility and safety are of critical importance.

We already spotlighted this project in Under Construction 8. This project is being implemented next to the Fortuna football stadium on behalf of the Landgraaf-based contractor Jongen. The development aims to establish a symbiotic relationship between sport, education and commerce. Fitland will be be running a hotel and providing parking facilities at this site in addition to its educational and sports facilities. Project deliverables include the construction, treatment and supply of a semi-circular steel framework consisting of columns, trussed rafters, purlins and wind braces. In addition to the framework, deliver-ables also include the supply and assembly of steel roof sheeting. Steel surfac-es are to be partially galvanized and partially finished in a two-layer wet paint system. The trussed rafters shown in the photograph were fully pre-fabricated at our facilities in Valkenburg – some measuring up to 30 m in length. Surface treatment was also carried out in-house before the rafters were transported to Sittard by road on a special-purpose transporter. Steel framework weighs a total of approximately 325 tons.

Frijns Industrial Group is participating in the Metal@Work project together with several other Limburg-based metalworking companies. The project’s initiator is Prolabor – an organization promoting the trades in South Limburg. The aim of the Metal@Work project is to streamline its participants for employment with various clients. It adopts a formula that focuses on retraining unemployed persons and those facing challenges finding suitable employment for a future in the metalwork-ing industry. Participation in this project came about as part of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies. For example, in the Maastricht-Mergelland region, Frijns Steel Construction acts as a partner on 5% Social Return projects. Investing in the future is of vital importance, as demand for qualified personnel continues to present a challenge. Two course participants were taken on following successful completion of the training course in May. Frijns Industrial Group wishes them all the best.

TUI Travel Belgium – known specifically for its Jetair brand – is investing €30 million into a new complex at Zaventem airport. The Jetairport, as TUI are dubbing their new build-ing, will house office space and even an aircraft mainte-nance hangar! This is a particularly important development for Brussels Airport. We were awarded the contract for the supply and assembly of 1,000 tons of steel framework on behalf of Belgium-based construction company Van Laere NV. We are extremely pleased to have been awarded the contract for the construction of this building.This particular project will serve to illustrate just how ca-pable we are of realizing international projects of this scale.Assembly will start after the construction industry holiday. The adjacent photograph shows the first crosspieces being assembled at our production facilities. These crosspieces will act as support points for the building’s roof trusses measuring 55 m in length. In our next newsletter, we will be reporting in detail on this project’s progress.
