Sustainable, high-quality E-installations

Tight planning, sustainable solutions and teamwork are common threads running through the work.

On behalf of Van Hees, John van Eck is responsible for all electrical matters in the realization of DC Dudok. He explains, "The basic technical installation consists of three transformers, BUSBAR voltage rails, cabling, lighting, grounding and lightning protection. We connected the transformers and brought in the power supplies for the air conditioning, air handling and sprinkler pump, among other things. We also brought in the data system, the WiFi transmitters, the security systems and the KNX system to control the lighting."

Sustainable installations and materials

The E-installations contribute in various ways to the sustainable character of DC Dudok, which is certified according to the requirements of BREEAM label 'Very Good'. For example, the lighting is separately switchable, equipped with presence detection and executed in LED. It is also possible to read out the energy consumption per room. Van Eck: "The sustainability of the installations is also in the use of materials. Because of the maritime climate, and therefore the high salt content in the air, all parts of the outdoor installation are made of high-quality stainless steel."

Pleasant cooperation

In early 2021, Van Hees began work on the on-site E-installations. Meanwhile, two halls of the distribution center have been completed. The other two will be completed this month. In July, Van Hees will deliver the work. "In terms of planning a challenging project," Van Eck looks back. "On top of that, we were working with many new parties. Normally that takes getting used to, but here it soon felt familiar. The pleasant cooperation with De Vries en Verburg and the other parties certainly contributed to the progress and quality of this work."
