Total surface area : 12 500 m²

Location : West-Center

Status : Finished

Construction time : 9 months

It’s time to set course for Brittany, specifically Ile-et-Vilaine, where in September 2017, GA Smart Building filed for a construction permit along the RN164, the four-lane motorway connecting Rennes and Brest, with plans to erect a 12,500 m² logistics platform there.

The GARNIER Group, a national player in the supply chain, acquired this facility in 2022 to ensure its transport, logistics, and packaging services. Located in the heart of the Haute Bretagne Activity Complex, the structure is already available for sale or rent, and will be operational from end-2018. It will neighbour a pre-existing platform sold and operated by the road transport operator TMG since 2016, across a plot exceeding 88,000 m².

The platform was equipped with a 2,256 m² covered rail junction, making it ideally reachable for freight train service. This BI2-category industrial building was subject to registration for ICPEs (listed environmental protection facilities) under sections 1510, 1530, 2662, and 2663. With a 10.5 m clearance height, the building posted a tolerable overload of 5 tonnes per m².

Offices and labor facilities were delivered fully equipped. Designed and manufactured with lacquered aluminum frames, they benefited from insulating double panes, as well as a Controlled Mechanical Ventilation (VMC) guaranteeing enhanced user comfort.

Other site features included: a reinforced concrete pole structure, a 21 m x 11.80 m frame, a quartz finish slab with point overload tolerance per foot rack of 7.5 tonnes on a 15 cm x 15cm deck, 3% sunlighting, 150 lux lighting on the ground by reflector, propeller aero-thermal heating that maintained indoor temperatures at 5°C when outdoor temperatures were at -7°C, an ESFR sprinkler system, fire-hose cabinets, an exterior maneuvering area of 35 m, and 120 parking spaces for lightweight vehicles.
