Background
TeaPak, part of the international Yogi Tea group, has decided to consolidate and expand its presence in Imola with the construction of a new production plant.
The project is part of the company's growth strategy, aimed at meeting the growing demand for herbal teas in Europe.
Challenges
- Management during the pandemic
The project was carried out during the lockdown caused by Covid-19, requiring the adoption of strict safety protocols to ensure the continuity of work and the safety of workers. - Multidisciplinary coordination
The need to integrate different technical and managerial skills required effective collaboration between Cefla and local partner companies.
Project Tasks
Cefla handled the entire project, carrying out excavation, earthworks and road embankments, foundations, prefabricated reinforced concrete structures and all finishing works, as well as the construction of a cogeneration plant with hot/cold heat pumps.
The project consists of three buildings:
- the “office” building, built on two floors, with spaces designed for operational staff, including the canteen and changing rooms, and, of course, the offices for all employees on the upper floor;
- the “factory” building, where the warehouses for raw materials and finished products are located, with the production area in between;
- the “systems” building, i.e. the building housing the systems for the production of hot and cold water for production purposes, the electrical rooms and service rooms used by Teapak.
In addition to its technical features, the new structure stands out from an aesthetic point of view thanks to the facades of the office building, built with long multicoloured aluminium slats distributed vertically to echo the brand logo, as well as a 12-metre-high external fire tank, from which all the pipes and ducts serving the plant architecture branch out.
The entire plant is also served by a photovoltaic system, in addition to a dedicated integrated purification and dust abatement system for each individual herbal tea production and packaging machine.
Implementation
The plant engineering solutions include:
- storage, pumping and primary distribution systems for fire-fighting water lines;
- water pumping and primary distribution systems; condensation systems for building air conditioning systems;
- control rooms for Towers A-B-C and the Podium;
- installation of a generator set for each building to power general systems, and an additional 4 common generator sets to power more sensitive systems;
- air conditioning and forced ventilation systems for garages;
- plumbing systems (a “variable” volume system is used to ensure minimum pumping costs and minimum energy consumption);
- fire-fighting systems;
- automatic control of mechanical and lighting systems;
- special electrical safety systems.
