Project: Detentiecentrum, Alphen aan den Rijn

Detentiecentrum - Alphen aan den Rijn

In the period from summer 2005 to summer 2007 the biggest prison so far in the Netherlands was built in Alphen aan den Rijyn. The main building features 648 cells and accommodates approx. 1300 persons in which two inmates are sharing a cell (sizes: 2.40m x 5.40m including toilet).

By order of the primer contractor Bouwcombinatie van Wijnen Timmers Hering supplied the façades of all 5 buildings as well as the ring wall surrounding the prison complex (up to a total of 852 precast panels).

Precast concrete cladding panels from Hering

Architectural concrete supplied by Hering stands for quality

Concrete has become an integral part as construction material for buildings, both for façade design and for structural prefabricated reinforced concrete components. Individually designed buildings with imposing façades are a standard feature of architecture. Whether curtain façades or sandwich façades, acidified, sand-blasted, polished, washed or smooth-shuttered surfaces, Hering makes it possible. An image in photo concrete or a logo in relief concrete? No problem – Hering can do it.

Hering - a leader in developing new concrete technologies

With its thin walled betoShell® GFRC façade panel, Hering has succeeded in taking a big step forward in the development of façade technology. Being only 20 mm, it is perfect for remedial work on façades while being equivalent to conventional concrete façade elements in terms of its properties.

Our products for the architectural concrete sector are not yet available in the USA.
