Oostertoegang Project in Amsterdam

For the Oostertoegang project in Amsterdam, Sterk Beton is supplying platform slabs on behalf of Dura Vermeer Landelijke Infra. This successful collaboration started as early as the tender phase, with Sterk Beton contributing ideas for this prefab solution.

Over the coming years, Dura Vermeer will replace five bridges on the eastern side of Amsterdam Central Station, as they have reached the end of their lifespan. The new steel bridges will be fitted with platforms. The limited space for installation from the water presents a significant challenge. To address this, the platforms are constructed from small elements that precisely follow the shape and incline of the tracks, making almost every element unique.

The photos show the first installed elements, which form part of the emergency walkway. This is just a small section of the project, with five large platforms still to follow. In addition to the platform slabs, Sterk Beton is also supplying the prefab anthracite edge elements, which are carefully aligned with the tracks using angle brackets. Dura Vermeer will then apply an asphalt layer to the top surface.

This is a long-term project that will continue for another six years. We will need to be patient, but we are already looking forward to the next platform!
