The KIVI Construction Section Board is organising a company visit to Octatube's new building in Delft on Wednesday 22 March.

Octatube is a Delft-based design & build company founded in the early 1980s by Mick Eekhout. Once started with innovative space trusses, the company has since become a specialist facade builder focused on customisation, realising many special international projects. Due to its location next to TUDelft and its good relationship with the universities, Octatube has been a start of many an engineer's career in construction.

What is also special about Octatube is that it is not only an engineering firm, but also manufactures the designed structures and facades in its own workshop and builds them with its own fitters. A unique combination of design and construction under one roof. Due to Octatube's considerable growth in recent years, the current office and workshop will be expanded.

KIVI Bouw cordially invites you to come and take a look at Octatube's new building on 22 March. Of course, this is also a great opportunity to meet other (future) engineers in construction.
