Upgrading Manufacturing Hub

From the design of the new logistics hub to the strategic plant networks: multidisciplinary and continuous support to support productive growth and operational efficiency.

For this important manufacturing plant, it was not a single isolated intervention, but a constellation of engineering projects developed over time.

The objective was to support the infrastructure in a phase of strong expansion, redesigning and strengthening the production spaces and networks vital

for operation.

Dabster's work has encompassed the entire spectrum of industrial engineering: from the design of a new 3,000 m² logistics warehouse and 1,000 m² of executive offices, to the total revamping of electrical networks, fire safety and the complex rainwater management system. A continuous design, built to ensure maximum performance of the structure

An expanding industrial hub requires a perfect balance between new projects and existing ones. The design challenge required a vision of the entire plant ecosystem

.

It was not enough to design new storage volumes and modern workspaces; it was essential to adapt the technological framework of the site to support future loads.

This meant preparing a new medium voltage power supply, extending fire safety to the entire complex and, above all, critically solving the disposal of rainwater on more than one hectare of surfaces, ensuring the total hydraulic safety of the area.

Synergy between Business Units for plant engineering
The added value of this intervention lies in the ability to govern disciplines that differ in scale and function within a single engineering matrix. To do this, Dabster has set up its specialized Business Units in a coordinated manner:
  • Industrial construction and workspaces: He oversaw the design of the new logistics hub (equipped with 3 loading bays to optimize flows) and the new offices, designed to maximize organizational comfort. At the same time, he managed specific micro-interventions within existing departments to harmonize the
    • entire layout.
  • Infrastructure and hydraulics: He faced the complex and “invisible” challenge by designing a water disposal network based on the principle of hydraulic invariance. A system designed for meteorological events with a return time of 50 years, to protect the infrastructure
    • .
  • MEP systems and fire safety: It has extended the smoke detection system (IRAI) to the entire complex and designed advanced extraction systems for the new compartments. Safety has been placed at the center, so much so that it represents almost 20% of the total value of the plants: a clear sign that the Dabster approach considers asset protection a primary design choice and not a
    • mere regulatory obligation.
  • Energy transition and electrical networks: He designed the strategic node of the new ENEL Medium Voltage delivery cabin and integrated a photovoltaic self-production system on the roof, to reduce the carbon footprint and energy costs.
The numbers of an industrial upgrading

The volumes of this intervention demonstrate the scale of operations and the solidity of the infrastructures designed by Dabster to ensure maximum operational continuity of the site:


Hydraulic infrastructure and water management

  • Over 6,000 m³ of excavations and about 3,700 m³ of materials managed for hydraulic works.
  • More than 540 meters of large diameter underground pipes (up to DN 600) serving more than 10,500 m² of surfaces.
  • A rolling basin of more than 3,100 m³ (with a compensation volume of 673 m³) to reduce peak flow rates and make the compartment completely safe even in the most severe weather events.


Fire safety

  • New 2,700 m² compartment protected with 9 EFC (Smoke and Heat Evacuators), for a useful area of more than 16.6 m², well above the minimum regulations.
  • IRAI detection extended to the entire site, integrated with automatic controls to facilitate rescue intervention and reduce thermal effects.
  • Dedicated fire protection system (networks, hydrants, compartments) worth more than 55,000€.


Mechanical systems and air conditioning

  • High-efficiency air conditioning systems that cover more than 70% of the MEP investment.
  • 5 HVLS fans installed, each capable of moving 680,000 m³/h of air, to control stratifications and microclimate in large volumes.
  • Over 3,300 kg of steel pipes for the distribution of carrier fluids.


Electrical, data and photovoltaic infrastructure

  • 11.0 km of installed electrical and special cables, accompanied by 3.63 km of Cat.6A data network for the digitization of the plant.
  • 148.50 kWp photovoltaic system (270 modules of 550 Wp and 2 three-phase inverters of 82.8 kW) for industrial self-consumption.
