Nippon express

As a trusted partner of Hercuton, we have previously built several logistics centers together. Also in the area around Schiphol. At the Nippon Express distribution center we are responsible for the complete electrical facilities.

“We also provide all the lighting,” says Johnny, our project leader from the Utility business unit. The building is completely made of LED. At Van den Pol we don’t do anything else anymore. The use of daylight sensors and smart switching is also self-evident. The lighting is integrated into the home automation system via DALI control.”

The engineering challenge was the limited height in the corridor zones. That is why BIM has once again played an important role in the coordination phase. The installation of a PV installation has contributed to the BREEAM-Excellent certification. “The 1084 PV panels together provide 400,000 WP of generated power. Charging facilities for electric cars and bicycles are also part of the sustainable infrastructure.

The Security & ICT department took care of the data network and the sound system. “We also installed the cabling for the security installation,” says Richard, our project leader. “The TAPA-FSR guideline plays an important role in the security of logistics buildings. This is the standard for storage of valuable and risky goods. Our scope includes a TAPA-B 2017 certification.”
