Storage under multiconditions in accordance with architectural requirements

In 2021, work started on Cool Control's fourth building. This new building, also on the Honderdland industrial estate in Maasdijk, comprises 15,000 m2 of floor space spread over three floors. Roma Projects realized both the complete sandwich panel construction with exterior facades and the indoor refrigeration and ripening cells and packaging department. On schedule, the building was taken into use in May.

Good preparation bears fruit

Paul Pallandt, commercial director of Roma, was involved in the project from the beginning by the architect and contractor. "The building houses many compartments with different conditions for storage and ripening of fruit. The challenge is to optimally thermally insulate these compartments while also meeting the fire safety requirements of the Building Code," he says. "By consulting each other in the design phase about expected thermal bridges and fire resistance of the walls and passages, we tackled the pitfalls. This required extra time but paid off in the implementation phase."

Many informal consultations

With so many professional disciplines of construction and installation parties involved, ongoing mutual coordination is crucial. "This is what we have done mainly through a lot of informal consultation," says Dave Canters, project manager of Roma. "The basis was already laid down in the agreements with Van Mierlo and in the planning. But through regular informal consultations, also with the foremen of the other parties in the execution, we can monitor the quality of our work better and also realize that we deliver within the agreed planning period."
