SCANNELL PROPERTIES CALDERARA DI RENO (BO), EMILIA-ROMAGNA

A logistics hub in the manufacturing heart of the country

The logistics hub of Calderara di Reno, built for Scannell Properties, consists of 3 separate buildings – called WHA, WHB and WHC – and is located on the border with Bologna airport, just 8 km from the city.

The entire hub has been designed to meet the needs of high-flow processes, for the storage and logistics of air freight transport. Common features of the 3 buildings are the high number of loading bays in proportion to the space (1/850 sqm), private yards, parking areas and modular and flexible spaces from 5,000 to 10,000 sqm.

The design is totally eco-friendly: the attention to sustainability is expressed through the use of LEDs for the optimization of energy consumption, the installation of a photovoltaic system that allows the generation of 160,000 KWh of green electricity every year and the presence of recharging stations for electric vehicles.

In particular:

• WHC has a surface of 10,125 sqm and is intended for a leading operator in the e-commerce sector. The building can accommodate up to 8 tipper trucks, the car park accommodates up to 70 vehicles and more than 40 under the reinforced concrete roof.
