@Octatube take a deep dive into engineering the complex 30 x 30-meter #geometric #glassdome that spans this #historicbuilding. Old and new are literally connected; And where these two meet, challenges arise: https://t.co/A1JvnBHACh #glass #architecturalglass #innovation #facade

#rendertoreality Challenge: as construction of this bicycle parking progressed, the site became smaller - all in order to reduce nuisance to the surroundings. Our tailored solution: prefabrication. https://t.co/ws8CF3ruOm

The C30 gridshell roof was completed with the last panels, the hoist infill - like putting the final piece in a puzzle. A moment of pride and satisfaction. https://t.co/7ITWLBng04

The iconic cablenet facades of the Markthal are annually monitored by Octatube Services:
✔️ measuring tension w/ hydraulic measuring devices
✔️ inspect spherical joints, nodes, sealant and cables for damages or imperfections.

We aimed for a sleek, minimalist finish in the Park House project. The glass in this retractable roof is fixed by means of a structural sealant. https://t.co/Z5GjtbBc6z

Years to design, months to assemble in factory, but only 2 days to construct on-site. Iris Rombouts (Octatube) and Chris Noteboom (Arup) reveal the fascinating engineering behind the curved glass boxes of P.C. Hooftstraat in Amsterdam in IGS Magazine. https://t.co/XCtbZjKjV1

At the @tudelft campus a new educational building is on the rise: Echo. A design by @UNStudio_Arch. Octatube is contracted for design and build of the continuous glass facades of Echo. Proud to contribute to this #sustainable project in our hometown. https://t.co/y9RnuIjgvX

What a difference glass makes! The insulated glass panels of the #gridshell roof of @Shell's C30 building each are a unique parallelogram, installed in a twisted shape by pressure on site. https://t.co/VipbKegz4a

@BeursVanBerlage → @lochal013 In 1990 the Glass Hall was built by Octatube. A freestanding, frameless glass music hall that found a new destination in 2018. Practically every part of the structure could be re-used! #circularconstruction #demountablebuilding

Last Friday: time for the #reciprocalframe, part of the gridshell roof for @Shell's C30 building. Working with two cranes simultaneously, the frame was placed in 7 hours. #realizingchallengingarchitecture with @Vriesverburg #ridderkerkskraanwagenbedrijf #mverschoorbv

#becomingbcorp Every colleague engages in an annual goals review to identify the needs for training and development. The aim is to formulate concrete goals and points for growth. After all, personal growth and development means growth and development for Octatube. #bcorp @BCorpNL

Daylight played a leading role in the 2017 refurbishment of the @NGIreland, designed by #heneghanpengarchitects. Octatube was invited to shed new light on old treasures by realizing bespoke rooflights and laylights. #realizingchallengingarchitecture https://t.co/ZYZ4bDdnMG

Today we started hoisting the frames for Shell's C30 building in The Hague - a milestone in the process and another step closer to completion. #workinprogress
