Sarens supports operations at Amsterdam Zuid Station
0As part of the ongoing transformation of Station Zuid, Sarens played a crucial role in the safe and efficient removal of platform canopies during a tightly planned weekend operation.
The project, officially titled Zuidasdok OVT, forms part of a broader renovation effort aimed at modernising one of the busiest transport hubs in Amsterdam. Commissioned by Struijk Sloop- en Grondwerken Nederland B.V., the works required precision lifting under strict time constraints and complex logistical conditions.
Executed over the weekend of 11–12 April 2026, the operation involved the removal of existing platform canopies, a key step in upgrading the station’s infrastructure. With the works taking place during a planned outage, and in coordination with the closure of the A10 motorway, timing and efficiency were critical.
Sarens was selected as the crane partner responsible for both horizontal and vertical transport on the project, reinforcing its role as a trusted provider in complex urban environments.
The lifting operations required a carefully selected fleet of cranes, including: AC 700; Liebherr LTM 1500; Liebherr LTM 1650; Liebherr LTM 1150.
These machines were chosen based on the load requirements, reach, and operational constraints of the site. Each canopy, weighing up to 17,5 tonnes (including rigging), was lifted at a maximum radius of 47 metres.
Positioning the cranes directly on the A10 motorway added another layer of complexity, requiring meticulous planning to ensure both stability and safety while operating in a highly constrained space.
Despite the logistical challenges, the operation was completed smoothly and according to schedule. The work was carried out by a dedicated team of 4 crane operators, 8 riggers, and 1 supervisor per shift, all working in close coordination to deliver precise and controlled lifts.
Favourable weather conditions further supported the execution, allowing the team to maintain momentum throughout the operation window.
Projects like Zuidasdok OVT highlight Sarens’ ability to deliver reliable lifting solutions in demanding, time-sensitive environments. By combining the right equipment with experienced personnel and careful planning, Sarens ensured the successful removal of critical infrastructure elements, paving the way for the next phase in the station’s redevelopment.
