In addition to the technical design services, AvLogix staff were also involved from concept through to practical completion of the industrial property as the client-side project manager.
This included integration of coolrooms, freezers and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning for the warehouse plus security, IT infrastructure and a 1.7MW photovoltaic system all integrated into the Building Management System.
