TWE

Scope of work Temporary Works Design designed the jacking supports for the renovation of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The steel supports were used as a temporary foundation for the museum. In total 24 supports and 2 stability frames were placed with a total jacking capacity of 3000 ton.The ‘new’ Rijksmuseum was a large-scale renovation project of the 1885-building by Pierre Cuypers. In the new de-sign the existing basement under the arcade was replaced by a new one. Thereby the brick columns that supported the ground floor were replaced by smaller, concrete ones, to create more free space in the basement. TWD was requested by Freyssinet Nederland BV to design a temporary construction to support the arcade columns. The outcome was a construction of jacking supports and stability frames that support the columns during renova-tion. After completion of the new basement and columns the temporary construction was removed.
