Radar Tower

Designed by Syb van Breda & Co and built by Hollandia Infra, the 70-meter-tall Radar Tower at Rotterdam's Maasvlakte II replaced the former lighthouse on Europaweg in 2018. Its distinctive twisted oval form creates a double-curved steel structure, combining a striking architectural appearance with the stability required for accurate radar performance in high winds.

Constructed from weather-resistant, pre-rusted corten steel, the tower is designed to be maintenance-free and is fully recyclable. Its robust yet elegant design reflects the Port of Rotterdam's ambition to combine functionality, sustainability, and architectural quality along the Maasvlakte coastline.

CIG contributed to the realization of the tower through the engineering and production of its complex 3D-curved steel skin. Our expertise in three-dimensional steel forming helped translate the distinctive twisted design into precisely manufactured steel components.
