Noord/Zuidlijn, Central Station Amterdam
Underground station Amsterdam
The project regards an adaptation of the underground
station of the North/South Line of the city
of Amsterdam. This station will be an integral part of
the biggest public transport hub in the Netherlands
and will provide transfer facilities between local,
regional and international public transport systems.
The underground stations’ concourse is being built
under the main square in front of Amsterdam Central
Station.
The ground conditions formed a large difficulty, the
soil profile at the site differs greatly from the characteristic
Amsterdam soil profile. The location of the
underground is Station Island, an artificial island that
was built at the end of the nineteenth century for the
construction of Amsterdam CS railway station. The
island was created by filing in a channel area in the
River IJ with sand.
The design of the underground station at
Amsterdam’s Central Station (CS) was also largely
determined by local environmental constraints. The
underground station is being built in front of, behind
and also underneath the historic central railway
station. Damage to the listed station building and
delays to the different passengers and existing traffic
flows are not acceptable.
