Construction of an industrial laundry facility in Toulouse: design and build by GSE

An innovative project to modernize the industrial laundry sector

Located in Toulouse, this ambitious project aims to meet the growing needs of the company, a European leader in the rental of linen, workwear, and hygiene products. The expansion of the industrial laundry facility and the construction of offices—covering a total area of ​​9,008 m²—reflect a commitment to modernizing infrastructure while increasing laundry processing capacity. Innovation and sustainability are at the heart of the project, featuring offices built to BBC (Low-Energy Building) standards, ensuring superior energy performance and compliance with current environmental priorities.

Prioritizing employee comfort and safety

Employee comfort plays a central role in the project’s design. Numerous spaces dedicated to well-being have been incorporated, including a cafeteria, a break room, a bicycle storage area, and green spaces to foster a pleasant work environment. A rooftop area is also included, adding a modern, welcoming touch to the architecture. Furthermore, safety is ensured through specific measures, including ICPE classification under category 2340 and an expanded fire protection system. These features guarantee the protection of people and property, as well as industrial facilities that meet the strictest standards.

A sustainable, carefully managed two-phase project

To minimize the impact of construction on site operations, the project is being carried out in two phases. This strategic approach ensures compliance with local constraints—specifically those related to flood risk prevention plans (PPRI) and ICPE regulations—while supporting the company’s growth objectives. The project benefits from specialized support regarding financial and legal structuring, as well as regulatory and certification processes. Furthermore, BBC 2005 certification reinforces the project’s commitment to sustainable architectural solutions while ensuring optimal energy efficiency tailored to new industrial processes.
