Haskoning Delft Office
In 2025, Haskoning relocated to the former Mining Engineering Faculty on the campus of Delft University of Technology. 1,000 employees from The Hague and Rotterdam will find their new workplace here, as well as the Board of the company. Situated on the border between the city and the TU Delft campus, the new head office connects to Delft's ecosystem of knowledge, innovation, and technology. The national monument has been transformed into a contemporary, sustainable workplace – Paris-proof. The original courtyards have been transformed into bright atriums: the spatial heart of the building and anchor points in the daily dynamics. With this, Haskoning demonstrates the role heritage can play in the debate about the future of the built environment. The project was developed in co-creation between engineers and architects from Haskoning and Braaksma & Roos. Interior design by Fokkema & Partners.
The Mining Engineering Faculty, designed in 1912 by Johannes Vrijman, is characterized by a functional layout and technical soundness, resulting in a vibrant and eclectic Neo-Renaissance building. The focus is on the center of the main wing, where the main entrance was located. From the main entrance, corridors run around the two open spaces, which provide abundant natural light, good ventilation through the windows, and excellent orientation within the complex. Inside, the finishes of the teaching spaces and laboratories were kept simple. However, color research revealed decorative, colorful painted finishes and oak paneling.
To meet Haskoning's desire to create a modern, inspiring environment with ample work and meeting space for all employees, the two courtyards were roofed, transforming them into usable atriums. Due to the irregular shape of the roofs, the solution was a single, large, spacious canopy at the attic level, separate from the building, with light and a view of the walls and roofs. The existing structure offered many opportunities for incorporating a suitable workspace program. The old laboratories were designed as open workspaces, while private rooms served as quiet workspaces. Characteristic spaces, such as the lecture hall, have been preserved, restored, and put back into use. Initially, the building had an energy label G. After the renovation, it achieved an A++++ rating. "This was achieved with roof and floor insulation, vacuum glazing, and smart building services. The building is now Paris-proof with a maximum annual energy consumption of 70 kWh/m².
Each year we take the first year Civil Engineering Students for a walk around Media City to help them hopefully understand the sorts of things they could be designing for real in 3 years times.
We do it mainly so they can see why they're learning things like truss analysis, designing buildings, and all the horrible maths stuff we make them work with.
Today was at the very least dry, but still quite cold and there were quite a few students who'd benefit from buying a decent coat.
On the way out of the Quays heading back to the bus I grabbed this quick shot of a large inflatable rabbit.... no idea what its purpose was but I just liked the look of it in all honesty.

This 120m Miho Museum Suspension Bridge is constructed in 1997 with three different structural systems consisting of cantilevered, cable-stayed and post-tensioned design.
According to architect, I.M. Pei, the giant arch took three months to weld.

To study engineering in a building such as this is an inspiration.

A page from a substantial book illustrating the steel work and other engineering contracts carried out by the West Bromwich based Braithwaites. Founded in 1884 as Braithwaite & Kirk the company prospered mainly due to a healthy export business in the 'colonies' as well as in the home market and indeed in 1913 they opened an Indian branch as well as later acquiring additional works in Newport, Monmouthshire.
These two pages show electricity pylons, or transmission towers, that Braithwaites both constructed and erected. The mid-1930s say huge activity in the development of the UK's National Grid (Gridiron) that was instituted by the Government and that formed part of drive to both increase the availability of electricity but also to deliver a more efficient generation and supply industry based on new 'Selected" generating stations and a standardised current to replace the earlier rag-bag of small stations and varying voltages, etc.

A team of engineers at Vanderbilt’s Center for Intelligent Mechatronics led by Michael Goldfarb, H. Fort Flowers Chair in Mechanical Engineering, has developed a powered exoskeleton that enables people with severe spinal cord injuries to stand, walk, sit and climb stairs. Its lightweight, compact size and modular design promise to provide users with an unprecedented degree of independence. The university has several patents pending on the design, and Parker Hannifin Corporation, a global leader in motion and control technologies, has signed an exclusive licensing agreement to develop a commercial version of the device that it plans to introduce in 2014.

Two engineers examine the internal parts of a distillation or fractionation vessel. The parts are fabricated in pieces that would be able to be passed through a given circular manway perhaps 20"-24" in diameter.
The man on the left is a Materials Engineer, concerned about corrosion and wear among other things.
The man on the right is a Process Engineering Supervisor. Engineers working under that super's position make sure that equipment is selected correctly and during this situation, fit to be returned into position for reuse within the processing vessel from which they were removed.
Two days travelling through the beautiful countryside of Devon and Wiltshire and this is the best image I got :-). A fully grown Minnion hard at work/play. This guy is an engineering genius, the parts he is 'displaying' are anodes of a propeller system he developed and I was there to talk to him about his latest creation, that we can't make public until March.
