Young Talent and POF-Primeur
Industrial estate Kickersbloem is familiar territory for Van den Pol Electrical Engineering. “We were also involved in the two previously completed warehouses at Rotterdam Logistics Park,” says John, project manager from Van den Pol. “They are very similar to the new distribution centers. Information from the earlier design proved very useful during the preparations.” The evaluation also provided important input. “After each project, we, as regular construction partners like Heembouw, sit down and discuss what can be done better, smarter or faster next time. Not only in preparation and execution, but also when it comes to communication.
Long distances
At the two new DCs, Van den Pol is responsible for the distribution cabinets, lighting and security systems. “These are large distances. That’s why we’re installing rail trunking. A first is the use of Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) for expanding the data installation, camera system, or Wi-Fi, instead of the usual UTP cabling. This eliminates the need for separate cables. Connections can easily be placed anywhere later. Tenants purchase these services through Fiber Unlimited, the client for the POF cabling.

Everything must be right
Just like FIRST (Rotterdam), Hourglass (Zuidas) and the Booking.com headquarters (Oosterdokseiland), Linden fits perfectly in the list of prestigious projects of Van den Pol Elektrotechniek. “Another good impression.”
Proud of the past, ready for the future
90 years of progress in electrical engineering
In a profession full of challenges, Van den Pol continues to prove himself. With an eye for relevant innovation, plenty of room for young talent and an increasing social impact. On the occasion of the 90th anniversary, Wim van den Pol looks back and forward to a future full of energy.
