On the 21st of September a few engineers from Snijders Ingenieursgroep had a guided tour at the project “Stedelijk College” in Eindhoven. Snijders Ingenieursgroep is responsible for the engineering of the prefab concrete frame with detailing. Our colleagues had a fun and educational day where they saw their designs realized.
On Monday 17 February, our Spanish colleagues from Valencia became football champion in a business competition. After an exciting final that ended in 2-2, Snijders won the penalty series. The cup for the best player and the top scorer also went to Snijders. A great achievement! Congratulations!
On the first of november 2019 Snijders has celebrated the milestone of 40 years existence of the company. In 1979 Adviesburo voor Bouwkonstrukties Ing. L. Snijders was established by Leo Snijders from his attic. Now, 40 years later, it has grown into an engineering office specialised in engineering (mainly) precast concrete constructions. A team of 60 engineers divided over locations Veldhoven (NL) and Valencia (ES) work daily on challenging projects in the Netherlands and Europe.
The 40 years milestone of Snijders has been celebrated with a visit to Valencia in september, a reception with tapas in the office in Veldhoven with a speciale surprise… A T-Ford car with the Snijders name and logo hand painted!
The T-Ford is a symbol for the thinking and acting according to the T-model, one of the most important starting points in the process management of Snijders Ingenieursgroep. The letter T is also the foundation of the Snijders motto: QualiTy, on Time, within the set Time!
Check out the T-Ford in this video.
On to the next anniversary!
In the past 7 years Tekla’s developer Trimble has organised an annual Precast Study Trip with the purpose for companies in the precast industry worldwide to get acquainted with leading companies in the European precast industry.
This year Norway, Belgium and The Netherlands were the destinations. In these countries leading precast companies were asked to host a meeting. Construsoft, Trimbles partner in The Netherlands for facilitating and supporting Tekla, has asked Snijders Ingenieursgroep to give a presentation to 30 participants from 7 different countries.
Curro Verhagen gave an introduction about Snijders Ingenieursgroep (Veldhoven) and Snijders Engineering Group (Valencia) after which Hein Moors showed how Snijders works with Tekla: how do we model in Tekla and how detailed are the projects being worked out. To illustrate this, the beautiful project Good Luck Hope was presented, which Snijders Ingenieursgroep is modeling in Tekla commissioned by Byldis. For the participants a striking example because after the presentation a visit to the Byldis factory was planned.
It was an educational morning, thanks to Trimble, Construsoft and all the participants. A good confirmation that Snijders Ingenieursgroep belongs to the top leaders in the precast industry!
On the 39th anniversary of Snijders Ingenieursgroep we look back at the past. A past in which Leo Snijders started Snijders Ingenieursgroep from his attic on 01/11/1979. A past with lows, of which the crisis in the construction has been very hard. But mostly a past with many highlights. Highlights that have led to a strong and professional engineeringteam, good customers and partners and a portfolio with beautiful and unique projects after 39 years.
We are also looking at the present. A present in which we are located in a beautiful new location in Veldhoven. Looking at a present in which we also, very symbolically on 01/11/2018, opened a new office in Valencia, Spain, where 5 new and enthousiastic colleagues started working for Snijders Engineering Group. As Revit modelers they are now following a training from our Revit specialist and projectleader Raymond. To all our new colleagues in Valencia: a warm welcome to our team and the best of luck with this new challenge!
And so we are also looking at the future. A future in which Snijders Ingenieursgroep and Snijders Engineering Group want to belong to the best engineering offices in Europe and to make beautiful and unique projects within our core business: engineering and modeling precast concrete constructions.
For this we would like to expand our teams in Veldhoven and Valencia, so check out our vacancies and come join our team!
The Muse a by Barcode Architects designed luxurious new 75 meter high tower in the Wijnhaven in Rotterdam. Characteristic to this building is the oblique line in the towers’ shape from layer 5 to 9. The tower has a visual nod to one side.
An iconic building in the Maritime District. Together with several monuments such as the Sint Laurens church and the Willem de Kooning Academy but also with new typical projects such as de Markthal, The Muse will be a part of this new and dynamic part of Rotterdam.
Beautiful views on the river the Maas, the Willemsbrug and the skyline of Rotterdam. At walking distance from the Grote Markt The Muse offers 94 apartments varying from 80 to 200 m2 including 2 penthouses on the top floor. Building layers 1 to 3 will become the parking and there will be 2 commercial areas of respectively 400 and 500 m2 on the ground floor. The design also has storages on the 4th floor.
Commissioned by Smit’s Bouwbedrijf Snijders Ingenieursgroep will work out the precast concrete construction elements which will be delivered by Geelen Beton and Decomo. Snijders Ingenieursgroep will engineer the constructive steelwork and will make a set of implementation drawings based on the architectural- and implementation design to look after all the constructive aspects within this project. Furthermore Snijders Ingenieursgroep will function as engineering coördinator. This means that all constructive joining elements have to be aligned before they are sent to the chief engineer for evaluation.
The building process on The Muse is currently in full swing. On these pictures you can see how the tower is slowly getting it’s iconic shape. The mentioned oblique line in the towers’ shape is becoming visible. Furthermore you can see the in situ concrete walls and floors on the pictures for which Snijders Ingenieursgroep has fulfilled the role of executive engineer. Finally the pictures show the special balconies of The Muse. These balconies are special because the construction is exceptional and has not yet been applied in another building in Rotterdam!

The unique residential building Pontsteiger at the Amsterdam Houthaven is the winner of the international BuildingSMART Award 2018 in the category ‘construction’. This was announced during the ‘International Standards Summit’ in Tokyo.
Building combination Pontsteiger, consisting of Dura Vermeer, De Nijs and involved partners has realised the project fully according to open BIM standards. The open BIM ideas have been the thread running through the project from the development to the building process at which working together in a structured and unambiguously can lead to the increase of the integrality of the different parts, speeding up the alignment, facilitating in prefabrication and the increase of quality and safety during the building process.
One of the involved partners of Building combination Pontsteiger is Hoco Beton. They have delivered approximately 6500 m3 precast concrete in the form of stability walls, columns, balconies, roofing sheets, consoles or staircases. Hoco Beton has instructed Snijders Ingenieursgroep to engineer the precast concrete core- elevator and staircase walls. As one of the pioneers in 3D modeling Snijders Ingenieursgroep has taken this instruction and worked it out according to the open BIM ideas. With this Snijders Ingenieursgroep has made a good contribution to the unique project Pontsteiger, the rightfull winner of the international BuildingSMART Award 2018.
BuildingSMART is an international non-profit organisation which develops open BIM-standards and stimulates the use of those standards. BuildingSMART International organizes an annual Award program. In this program a jury looks at how effective and innovative the open BIM-standards are applied in projects and how challenges can be overcome in the digital collaboration. BuildingSmart had difficulty looking at all the contributions this year and chosing a winner – there have never been so many contributions as this year.
From this moment on Adviesburo Snijders has changed it’s name to Snijders Ingenieursgroep. In an earlier post you have been able to read about our move from Valkenswaard to a magnificent new location in Veldhoven. We wanted a complete renewal in style so we also changed our logo and the website (snijders-ig.nl).
If any parts of the website aren’t functioning or do not meet up to your expactations, please let us know. You can send an e-mail to secretariaat@snijders-ig.nl
