DC Nabuurs – Sustainable city distribution

The future is all-electric and that also applies to the transport sector. That is why the new Nabuurs distribution center emphasizes the importance of Van den Pol Elektrotechniek’s specialism. “We installed the charging points for electric trucks at the loading docks, just like those for passenger cars in the parking lot,” says project leader John Gielen. “A separate distributor has been installed for the charging facilities. That makes future expansion easy. As a permanent partner of Heembouw, Van den Pol was responsible for the electrical supply throughout the complex.

“In close coordination with Nabuurs, we also took care of the complete installation package,” says work planner Reinier Oppelaar. “The Van den Pol specialism has been widely deployed: lighting, data installation, access control, CCTV and burglar alarm.” LED lighting plays an important role in the BREEAM ‘Very Good’ certification. “Motion sensors never consume energy unnecessarily. And if the light burns less, its lifespan increases substantially. Furthermore, the lighting in the offices is screen-friendly; eyes get tired less quickly.”
