The building has a 4,500 square meters internal surface. It is combined building with a storage area, with shelving and roller shutter (2,800 sqm) a courier area (550 sqm), a loading and unloading area (400 sqm) and one reserved for contractors. Offices, services, changing rooms and technology centres complete the interior equipment. The outside reception and dispatch area, where are loading/unloading spaces, fitted with electro-hydraulic platforms, seems a “gallery”. It is characterized by a semi-arch structure, in metal carpentry, partially covered for the loading/unloading area. All horizontal hedging structures are in metal carpentry; foundation and elevation structures are, instead, in cast reinforced concrete. The plant includes a heating system and aerothermal equipment for storage areas and multi-split air-conditioning system (heat-cold) in the office premises. The integrated management system that regards mechanical, electrical and security /access control, is particularly interesting. Just as interesting is the implementation of an integrated and centralized (fully automated) management system for devices and good handling and storage equipment, distributed in intensive, slow, and fast-moving warehouses.
