Lidl logistics centre

The EUR 70 million construction of one of the largest and most modern logistics centres in Slovenia was successfully completed in just one and a half years.

The basic function of the logistics centre is the entry and storage of goods as well as its preparation for further distribution to stores. The logistics centre covers an impressive area of 57,000 square metres, which is comparable to 8 football fields, making it currently the largest covered building in the country.

The 1MW solar power plant on the roof of the facility provides about a third of the power needs of the logistics centre.

The elaborate lightning protection of the solar power plant features lightning rods. Furthermore, any exposed electrical devices are protected by an insulated air-termination system, whereas the entire facility is protected by a mesh and down conductors in accordance with the lightning protection standards.

The logistics centre requires the top functionality of the electrical infrastructure. Hermi cable systems transfer power and data throughout the building. As many as 11,900 metres of cable trays, 580 metres of cable ladders and 1,160 metres of heavy-duty cable ladders along with numerous load-bearing and accessories were used in the construction cable paths.

We have developed new hanging brackets for cable trays to allow the installation of cable trays with a greater distance from the ceiling specially for this project.
