A saw shed that moves with Burgland Bouw

Burgland Bouw delivers a wide range of construction projects, from schools and commercial buildings to housing and sports facilities. The company also has experience building swimming pools. On its construction sites, Burgland Bouw uses several Kroftman shelters as saw sheds. Once a project is complete, they move on to the next site.

A custom layout for materials and sawing work

Burgland Bouw has shelters measuring 4 and 6 metres wide, fitted with front and rear walls. These create a sheltered space between the containers for sawing and storing materials.

The construction company designed and built the interior fittings itself. There is room for a workbench, saws and materials, giving the team a fully equipped workspace where they can work in the dry. A cover featuring the company’s branding also makes Burgland Bouw recognisable on site.

Visiting Nimma Nova in Nijmegen

During our visit, one of the saw sheds was being used at the Nimma Nova construction site in Nijmegen. Burgland Bouw is working here on a new sports and swimming complex with a 50-metre pool, two activity pools, a double sports hall and an underground car park. The design includes green roof gardens and provides facilities for both recreational users and elite athletes.

The saw shed stands alongside the site cabins and containers. In the video, Burgland Bouw shows how the shelter is fitted out and used during the project.

Moving to the next site with the site cabins

Once work on a project is complete, the saw shed moves on. The shelter usually travels to the next location together with the site cabins. The interior fittings built by Burgland Bouw move with it.

For transport, Burgland Bouw partially dismantles the shelter, taking it apart only as far as necessary. It is then cleaned and put back into use at the next construction site. This allows the same saw shed to remain part of the site setup across multiple projects.
