Background

The Le Cotoniere Shopping Centre is an important commercial facility in Salerno, characterised by its distinctive architectural design. The project required advanced engineering solutions to ensure comfort, safety and environmental sustainability.

        
          Le Cotoniere is an example of how an old industrial building can be restored showing respect for its history and the environment and become the heart of an innovative structure serving a city and its surrounding area.

Challenges

System integration
Creating technological systems that integrate harmoniously with the architecture of the shopping centre.

Multidisciplinary coordination
Simultaneously managing different types of systems, ensuring a smooth interface between the various technological components.
Completion times
Compliance with delivery schedules in a complex and multifaceted setting.

Project Tasks

Cefla carried out:

The design and construction of air conditioning, plumbing, electrical and lighting systems.

The installation of special systems, including fire prevention, intrusion detection, video surveillance and Building Management System (BMS).
The integration of the systems with the architectural structures, ensuring functionality and aesthetics.

Implementation

Cefla installed all the systems, completing the work in just eight months: air conditioning, plumbing and sanitation, electrical and lighting, anti-intrusion, closed-circuit TV, fire detection, sound diffusion, electrical and mechanical system supervision systems, such as light management, thermoregulation and heat pump operation (no combustion boilers were installed) and control of the main cabin equipment. The focus was on energy saving, mainly using LED lighting technology.
This was an important project due to the size of the site and the precise structural and landscape constraints to be complied with by the designer and construction manager.
The sprinkler system, i.e. the automatic fire extinguishing system, is in complete harmony with the shape and dominant colour of the roof. We followed its characteristic undulating lines using specially calendered and painted pipes in the workshop.
In this way, the system has been integrated into the architectural design, enhancing it. With the same aim in mind, the lighting fixtures were chosen, in agreement with the project manager, so that their inevitable presence would be as discreet as possible, ensuring that the light did not come from intrusive furnishings.
The shopping centre serves a catchment area of 820,000 people living within a 30-minute drive and has almost 3,000 car parking spaces. The structure houses 94 commercial units of various sizes and a 3,700 m² Conad Superstore. In total, the shopping centre has a surface area of 35,000 m², while the car parks cover approximately 49,000 m². The green area, also served by Cefla facilities, is particularly charming and spacious, with two fountains and a row of palm trees enhanced by accent lighting that highlights the plants and outlines the evening walkway.
