📋 Tender Overview
Today, Vughts monumental station building has been moved 13.6 meters to the east.The station building weighs approximately 700,000 kg.27 so-called lifting jacks were used to lift and then shift the building.The relocation creates space to deepen the track as part of the work that ProRail is currently carrying out around Vught.The special operation is an important milestone in the work that ProRail is carrying out on the track in Vught.The monumental station building from 1868, including the cellars, will be preserved and will ultimately be given a central place in the new station area after more than 150 years.

Special operation The preparation for the relocation was carefully carried out by the Bresser company, a specialist in the horizontal and vertical relocation of monumental buildings, homes and heavy objects.The building was dug free and lifted 80 centimeters, after which the monumental floor was temporarily removed and dug below the foundation.Eight so-called roller conveyors have been placed under the building that take the station building to its new location.

The last of its kindThe station building was built in 1868 as a stop on the railway line between Utrecht and Boxtel.Engineer G. van Diesen gave the standard design a more spacious version, in keeping with the prosperous village and the many visitors who were expected, especially in the summer.The elongated, symmetrical shape, the higher middle part and the two lower side wings are still recognizable.The building has been a national monument since 1976.It is also the last remaining example of this type of station building in the Netherlands.
Station Manager Jamal Aamri;Today is a special moment for Vught station and its residents. I am extremely happy and proud that we have managed to move this monumental station building and install it in its new location. In a few years, travelers will be able to use this beautiful station again, in which history and future come together. It is an impressive achievement by the alliance and all parties involved, including Bresser. My great thanks go to everyone who has committed themselves to this and made this special relocation possible.

Space for a deepened track The work is part of the High-Frequency Rail Transport Program (PHS).ProRail is partially deepening the track in Vught.This contributes to the quality of life and safety on and around the track and makes it possible for more trains to run between Geldermalsen and Boxtel in the future.During the work, the trains will continue to run on a temporary track.Travelers use the temporary station on the Bestevaer business park.The deepened track is expected to be put into use in 2030.
