iLogistics Center

The iLogistics Center in Fischamend is a 20-metre high-bay warehouse built as a WIEHAG complete hall.

From the supports to the beams, from the façade to the roof panels – the project is being implemented entirely in wood. The client is the internationally active transport and logistics company, cargo-partner.

Task

Unusual dimensions in timber construction

Architects POPPE*PREHAL emphasise the ecologically valuable aspect of this building project: "Due to the complexity and height of the high-bay warehouse as well as the extreme precision requirements for the construction tolerances, this project enters a new dimension in timber construction. Clear architecture combined with sustainable construction in unusual dimensions," says general planner, Helmut Poppe.

Implementation

Sustainable, energy-saving large building

WIEHAG supplied 4,200 m³ of timber for 19,000 m² of roof and wall panels for the warehouse building. The building shell was erected in just ten weeks. It is a pure timber building with the exception of the staircases. The office building was made of cross laminated timber panels and timber frame walls. A high-bay warehouse with 24,500 pallet spaces and a small parts warehouse with 10,000 boxes were built on an area of 10,610 m².

"The wood-based construction enables low operating costs, cost-saving temperature control between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, a constant humidity of up to 70 per cent, as well as considerable savings in CO2 emissions," says cargo-partner CEO and proprietor, Stefan Krauter, explaining his commitment to sustainable logistics innovations.
