Schiphol Tunnel Construction and Encasing

This project involved extending the traffic capacity of the main roads crossing the runway located within the Schiphol Airport region in Amsterdam. To realize this goal, a three-lane tunnel and a two-lane tunnel were constructed adjacent to an existing tunnel tube. Upon completion of the new tunnel construction, the existing tunnel was rebuilt to include a three-lane tunnel and a two-lane tunnel.

ARCADIS performed several functions during the realization of this project, including the following:

  • Realization of a water storage facility.
  • Completion of a cable tube running from the services building to both Schiphol tunnels.
  • Mounting of double walls in the closed section of the second Schiphol tunnel.
  • Completion of roadway structure, side wall and mid wall structures, and the accompanying canopy structure for the north entry of the second Schiphol tunnel.
  • Mounting fire-resistant cladding of the closed section of the second Schiphol tunnel.
  • Mounting a traffic guidance wall in the existing Schiphol tunnel.
  • Assembly of a wall structure with accompanying canopy and daylight grille structure for the south entry of the western tunnel tube of the existing Schiphol tunnel.

Other technical services performed included:

  • Supplying the electrical, mechanical, and technical systems in the second Schiphol tunnel.
  • Supplying and mounting of the electrical mechanical systems in the new services building and the cable tube situated between the services building and both Schiphol tunnels.
  • Supplying and mounting and/or adjusting the electrical mechanical systems in the existing Schiphol tunnel and the existing services building.

The following systems were integrated into the project during completion:

  • High-and low-voltage, emergency power, and no-break power systems.
  • Earth system.
  • Tunnel, building, escape route and site lighting systems.
  • Pumping systems.
  • Aid stations, powder extinguishing panels and fire extinguishing facilities and systems.
    Road signaling and height-detection traffic systems.
  • Tunnel and building ventilation systems.
    CCTV, HF, loudspeaker, intercom and telephone communication systems.
  • PLCs local, central and transmission control systems.
  • Light and power, AC/CV, security, intercom and telephone building systems.
  • Burglary security system.
