More than 20 years of practical experience in structural design in various phases from conceptual to detail engineering of global large scale projects.
Bart v.d. Broek
Structural engineer
Bart is designer and structural engineer of modular bridges in ultra high performance concrete (UHPC). He was the lead engineer of the first built Ultrabridge in Hoekersingel, in Rotterdam.
His gained experience about UHPC is essential for design of other Ultrabridges in the future.
Jan Falbr
Structural Engineer/designer
Jan is in charge of optimization of Ultrabridges. His goal is to design Ultrabridges more slender with more options for shape of the railing.
His aim is to design bridge more attractive with maximal utilization of UHPFRC properties. This is reached only by a sophisticated computer modelling accompanied with broad knowledge about structural behavior.
