Working on the PALLAS research reactor at Petten? Tell us your crew size, dates and trade package and we will source long-stay housing across Petten, Schagen, Alkmaar and Den Helder.
We arrange accommodation for contractors in Petten on a project basis, priced for the length of the stay rather than a nightly rate.
PALLAS is a multipurpose research reactor for medical isotopes, replacing the High Flux Reactor at the Energy and Health Campus in Petten, in Schagen municipality. NRG|PALLAS is the state-backed owner and INVAP of Argentina is the design and build contractor. The project cost is about €2.4bn, and official construction started in September 2025 after the construction pit and foundations were finished.
Phase 2 started in September 2026, with walls and the aircraft protection shell being poured and the reactor block foundation starting in October. Civil works are planned to run to around 2030, with commercial operation by 2032, although detailed design delays mean a revised schedule is due at the end of 2026. Petten is a village of about 1,550 people, so crews look to Schagen, Alkmaar and Den Helder.
We source long-stay accommodation for teams with confirmed work on PALLAS, matched to the drive to the campus behind the dunes rather than a generic North Holland search.
We assess practical locations across Petten, Schagen, Alkmaar and Den Helder based on your actual site access, commute, crew size, parking and accommodation standards rather than a generic city search.
We can source for specialist rotations, staggered arrivals, multi-month assignments and extensions as packages move through the programme, subject to live availability.
We look for accommodation with kitchens, laundry, reliable WiFi, parking and suitable bedroom configurations for sustained assignments.
