I-Logistics Center

In 2018, Cargo Partner's iLogistics Center in Fischamend, Austria, was constructed and created a mile stone in sustainable warehouse architecture. Designed by Poppe Prehal Architekten and constructed by WIEHAG, this high-bay warehouse extensively employs timber, with all crucial structural elements crafted from wood. The usage corresponds to 4,200 m³ of wood, effectively capturing around 4,200 tons of CO₂, highlighting its ecological benefits.

Operational efficiency and environmental control are priorities within this facility. Advanced insulation and high soil quality contribute to creating a nearly dust-free environment, with airtight seals on truck docks ensuring cleanliness and stability. The warehouse integrates 20 thermally optimized loading ramps and utilizes an innovative night ventilation cooling system through a monolithic floor slab. An air-water heat pump on the roof enhances its energy efficiency, emphasizing its commitment to sustainability.

One of the project's standout features is its ability to be easily disassembled at the end of its lifecycle, indicating a thoughtful approach to resource use and lifecycle planning. Poppe Prehal Architekten emphasize the significance of this project in timber construction, given the warehouse's complexity and the precision required. The iLogistics Center exemplifies the harmonization of high-tech logistics with sustainable architecture, setting a new standard in the fusion of functionality, economy, and aesthetics.
