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.
