Building in Plessis Pate: Constructed by GSE

Energy Performance and Environmental Commitment of the Industrial Site

The project was designed with high standards for energy and environmental performance, incorporating eco-friendly equipment suited to an intensive agri-food production site from the design phase onward. Particular attention was paid to optimizing energy consumption through a comprehensive design that includes, notably, a utility tunnel and a heat recovery system, enabling the recovery of energy from the industrial process. The entire building was thus designed to balance production requirements with the reduction of environmental impact, while ensuring a high level of overall performance. This approach also contributed to the attainment of NQE NF “Very Good” certification, attesting to the level of environmental quality achieved by the facility.

Industrial Flexibility and Adaptation to Changes in the Food Processing Industry

The building was designed as a flexible and scalable facility, capable of adapting to changes in processes and evolving customer needs. This flexibility was reflected in adjustments to the specifications during the design phase to meet new operational requirements. The facility was also designed to support revenue growth and accommodate future expansions, thereby ensuring its ability to evolve over time. This adaptability is essential in an agri-food industrial context that requires high production rates and the ability to quickly adjust production equipment.

Workflow Optimization, Food Safety, and Operational Performance

The project incorporated a rigorous workflow organization to comply with the forward-flow requirements specific to the agri-food sector, with the goal of minimizing contamination risks and ensuring the effective separation of raw material and finished product flows. The highly automated process was designed to achieve a high production rate while reducing the physical strain on workers through adapted ergonomics and equipment specifically designed for operators. The building also includes positive and negative cold storage rooms, as well as specialized technical and storage areas subject to acoustic and vibration constraints. Finally, ensuring the safety of people and property was a major priority, guaranteeing the continuity of production commitments and the reliability of the industrial site.
