Smart supply chains start with a smart design

The added value of the logistics sector continues to grow. Logistics is an essential driver of the economy: it ensures that goods and services reach their destinations on time. Its importance became particularly obvious during the COVID pandemic, when the Suez Canal was blocked and during geopolitical tensions in the Red Sea. Those who organise their supply chain smartly and resiliently will stay afloat. And they will create client value too. We support logistics players who want to make that strategic difference. We do so by providing advice, the design and overseeing the implementation at warehouses, distribution centres, and hubs.

From logistics issue to successful go-live

Logistics companies face a great many challenges: efficiency, scalability and sustainability. We translate your logistics issue into an integrated technical and structural design of warehouses, distribution centres, and hubs. We support you every step of the way, from feasibility study and conceptual design to a successful go-live. Our multidisciplinary Logistics Engineering, Technical Utilities Engineering and Civil Engineering team join forces to carefully monitor time, cost and scope for you.

Improvement scenarios with a clear ROI period

What is your ideal logistics set-up? We critically analyse your existing processes and link them to realistic growth scenarios. You receive advice that identifies and quantifies improvement scenarios based on data analyses, feasibility studies, master plans, conceptual design and a programme of requirements (PoR). In the process, we seek the optimal balance between economy, flexibility and reliability. Our advice is underpinned by clear business cases. As a result, you are perfectly aware of the impact on efficiency and the ROI period.

Avoid duplicate costs thanks to integrated engineering

Our in-house knowledge allows us to act fast and develop flexible designs. During the design phase, we integrate logistics systems, civil engineering, environmental construction and special techniques such as fire protection, HVAC, electricity and data. We avoid duplicate costs, unnecessary delays or rework because we have all these different areas of expertise in-house. Technical pitfalls are overcome early on and project risks efficiently covered. We guide you through the entire process: from building application and environmental file to preliminary design, detailed engineering, BIM modelling, tendering, and evaluation.

Opt for hassle-free commissioning

You can also rely on us during implementation. We coordinate all the parties involved with rigorous project and construction management. We monitor planning, budget and scope in close consultation, carry out acceptance and validation tests, and assist you during the go-live. Eliminating any stress from the commissioning process of your logistics site.
