Energy Efficiency and Smart Systems The facility incorporates energy-efficient features to enhance performance. A high-efficiency HVAC system optimises climate control, while smart LED lighting minimises energy usage. Large glass panels and polycarbonate sheeting maximise natural light, reducing the need for artificial illumination. Strategically positioned louvres help regulate heat gain, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment.
Challenges Due to the flatness of the site and existing infrastructure, it was a challenge to extend the attenuation for some distance along the back of the site to allow for optimal water collection.
It was also a challenge to accommodate two tenants within one building, taking into account their individual requirements from a warehouse and logistics perspective as well as their differing design aesthetics within the offices.
Purpose-Built for the Future This shared facility provides Bidvest Materials Handling and A Square Forklift with a modern, functional, and adaptable workspace that aligns with their growth strategies. With a focus on efficiency, collaboration, and sustainability, the new premises ensure both companies are well-positioned to meet future industry demands while enhancing service delivery and operational performance.
