  • (1888PressRelease) February 18, 2011 - SGS Industrial Services has collaborated with Grupo AZA in its design for a nine storey building which includes a parking lot, school and shopping center, located in the center of Valencia in Spain. For SGS, the project involves full use of its considerable expertise, as the new complex is to be located in the center of Valencia, so the excavation and demolition works involved in creating a parking lot over four floors requires a great deal of intricate planning and design.

    El Grupo AZA, a logistics services company in Valencia, has recently begun building works for the implementation of a new nine-story building in Valencia's Colón Street that will have parking facilities, a public school, a hotel and a shopping area.

    SGS Industrial Services has collaborated with Grupo AZA in the design and management of the project, the contracting strategy, the general planning and the project's cost strategy. The planned construction works includes a nine-story building in Colón Street destined for use by the catering trade, a parking lot with 320 vacancies, a shopping area of 3,500 square meters and, in Cirilo Amorós Street, a public school along the upper floors and terraces over the commercial premises located on the ground floor in the patio area.

    The School will span 1,400 square meters of the building and more than 900 square meters of playground area, replacing the existing school and it promises to provide new and better facilities. The building works have an estimated duration of 28 months and completion is expected in 2013.

    As the new complex is to be located in the center of Valencia, a very old city, the excavation and demolition works involved in creating a parking lot over four floors requires a great deal of intricate planning and design. The first phase of the project has included SGS procuring licenses, permits and contracts with regard to the company running the demolition works. Moreover, SGS helps Grupo AZA with defining the construction project, including the organization of agencies that will be required on board for the duration of the construction works.

    SGS Industrial Services provides Grupo AZA with comprehensive Project Management Services, including assuring project quality, organizing internal agents, organizing a coherent strategy with regard to the management of the contracts pertaining to construction works and the development of a Master Plan and an initial Cost Plan. SGS's contribution has been vital in aiding Grupo AZA identify and define project objectives in the investment and SGS fully looks forward to the realization of the project.
