VK architects+engineers reinforces its expertise in simulations by acquiring One Simulations

About

VK architects+engineers®, a multidisciplinary design agency, is strengthening its expertise in simulations by acquiring One Simulations, an engineering firm in the Netherlands, specialized in CFD Simulations.

The acquisition of One Simulations is an important strategic investment in the further development of our multidisciplinary approach. This strengthens our expertise and allows us to respond to the increasing demand for building simulations in the design phase. We look forward to working with our new colleagues from One Simulations.

VK architects+engineers®, a multidisciplinary design agency, is strengthening its expertise in simulations by acquiring One Simulations, an engineering firm in the Netherlands, specialized in CFD Simulations.

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations model the behavior of gases and liquids. These simulations are used within the built environment for, amongst others, the simulation of wind load, wind and noise nuisance, the dimensioning of smoke and heat exhaust systems and the optimization of ventilation systems. In addition, One Simulations has extensive experience with simulations outside the built environment, more specific: marine/offshore, process industry and R&D.

Building simulations play an essential role in solving complex matters and prove their added value, especially in the conceptual phase of a building. Building simulations guarantee that the users' performance criteria will be met once the building is in use.

“We see synergies in knowledge sharing between our teams and in the close ties with universities and research institutions for both VK architects+engineers and One Simulations. The many complex projects of VK architects+engineers in Belgium and abroad create enormous growth opportunities for One Simulations. The specialized knowledge of One Simulations further strengthens the services that VK architects+engineers offers” says Dirk Slabbinck, chief technology officer VK architects+engineers.

“One Simulations will continue to operate under their name in the Netherlands and its customers can continue to count on a personal and professional approach,” says Richard van de Nes, managing director of One Simulations. Within VK architects+engineers, as principal simulations, he will be the driving force to expand this domain of expertise.
