Stage 1

The project consists of a production building with two technical buildings, a three-storey office building, a security booth and a waste shed.
The following summarised activities were covered in the implementation of the site by part:

Architecture
The façade of the office building is made with a curtain glass façade in combination with composite cladding. The production building has a wall enclosure of thermal insulation panels in combination with high quality joinery and sectional doors. A modern state-of-the-art system of movable louvres has been installed for sun protection.
The floor of the production area of 5255 sq.m. is made of electrostatic ESD flooring complying with the requirements of the production process. In the warehouse and technical areas, a polished concrete floor is laid.

Structure
A monolithic reinforced concrete structure has been deigned for the construction of an administration building, a new technical room attached to the production building for the HVAC equipment, an underground sprinkler tank with plan dimensions 17.1 x 34.9 m and a volume of 1600 m3, as well as two underground rainwater tanks. The security cabin, the waste shed, the canopies as well as the advertising facility with the investor's logo are made of steel construction.
HVAC installations and equipment, including air conditioning and ventilation chambers, water cooling units, gas boilers, circulation pumps, VRV system, complex ductwork. Compressed air and nitrogen plant required for plant production needs, including screw compressors and refrigeration dryers.

Gasification

Electrical installations and equipment, including electrical panels and power lines, power and lighting installations, low-current installations, lightning protection and earthing installations, site electrical installations, transformer station.
BMS building automation system.

Building and site plumbing networks and external plumbing connections.

Fire alarm and fire extinguishing systems certified by VDS. The sprinkler system serves a total of 5 fire sectors with a built-up area of 8435 sq.m. and is powered by a GRUNDFOS diesel-electric pump group.

Vertical planning and roads - 12600 sq.m. of paved surfaces, 1250 sq.m. of pavements and 2825 sq.m. of concrete pavements were implemented around the site.
 

Technical indicators for stage 2: 

  • Plot area 70 000 sq.m.
  • Total Build-up area 6479,96 sq.m. 
  • Build-up area 5888,92 sq.m.
  • Vertical planning: 27 000 sq.m. 
  • Landscaping: 17 477 sq.m.

 

Stage 2: 

The project includes the extension of the production hall with a storage area and technical premises. Facilities such as a packaging storage shed, extension of the existing fire fighting tank with another wet chamber, a transformer station and extension of the existing car park with an additional 150 parking spaces were also constructed. 
During construction, a temporary partition wall of thermal panels on a steel support structure was constructed between the new and the existing parts of the plant to the design of the General Contractor. Thanks to this facility, Ber-Hella Thermal Control Ltd. was enabled to continue to maintain its production processes at their full capacity and to the required quality.
The implementation of the project covered the following summarized activities by parts:
 

Architecture

The production building has a wall enclosure of thermal insulation panels. 
The roof is executed with a layered installation of roofing sheet, thermal insulation wool and waterproofing membrane, and smoke domes and SOLATUBE light wells are installed, providing day lighting in the production and office part of the building. 
The floor of the production area of 4400 sq.m. is made of electrostatic ESD flooring compliant with the requirements of the production process. In the warehouse area and technical rooms, a polished concrete floor was laid. In the technical rooms, polyurethane flooring was installed.

Structure

The structure is prefabricated, composed of precast reinforced concrete columns, main and secondary beams. The floor slab is monolithic. The façade substructure, as well as the roof connections and reinforcements are made of steel.
HVAC systems and equipment including air conditioning and ventilation chambers, water chiller, steam boiler, gas boiler, circulation pumps, VRF system, duct system. Compressed air and nitrogen plant required for the production needs of the plant. Redesign and regularization of existing gas plant.
Electrical installations and equipment, including: electrical panels and supply lines, power and lighting installations; low-current installation; lightning protection and earthing installations; site electrical installations, diesel generator, UPS , transformer station.
BMS building automation system.
Building and site plumbing networks.
Fire alarm system
Fire extinguishing system certified by VDS. A new diesel-electric WINTER PUMPEN pump group has been delivered.
Vertical planning and roads - including new parking, paved surfaces, sidewalks and concrete.

Landscaping and irrigation system 
The works commissioned were professionally performed and completed to a high quality and in accordance with the statutory requirements, with very good organisation and adherence to the agreed timescales, without disrupting the normal functioning of the existing buildings and facilities and without impeding the workflow of the Investor’s staff. 


The site has been successfully commissioned and operates without defects.
