At the end of july I went with some friends to The Hague to make a lot of captures. "The habour of Scheveningen" was one of them. After the beach we went to The Hague (Bezuidenhout) where a very special tram-semi-metro station is build, which very soon was called "De Netkous" (Fishnet Stocking).
"De Netkous" is in fact a overpass combined with two stations. The station is designed by Zwarts & Jansma Architects and is operational since 2007.
The overpass is built up of an open tubular structure, which makes an associations with the structure of a mesh sleeve-fishnet stocking. Because of this very strong construction, relatively large spans could be used, limiting the number of columns. The viaduct segments are assembled on site from prefabricated steel rings and tubes. During the construction, they used a temporary assembly hall at the track. In a special conserveringshal (composed of sea containers), the bridge parts were provided with a protective coating.
More photo's will be posted by me, but for the time beiing you have to do it with this link. :p
