Customized Products by Technique Béton for the New Lidl Logistics Center in France

Admixtures for Lidl Warehouse in Cregy lès Meaux, France

The rapidly growing discounter Lidl continues to strengthen its market position throughout Europe. In France, for example, Lidl is maintaining its position as the market leading discounter with approximately 1,000 retail outlets.

In order to further strengthen its position and to shorten supply routes within the country, Lidl is building a new central warehouse with a total area of 31,932 m² in Cregy lès Meaux, Seine et Marne. In this logistics center, non-food and dry products are to be centrally stored. In another part of the building complex, a cold storage unit is being constructed for accommodating perishable goods.

In logistics centers, high-quality floor slabs are especially important because of the steady flow of goods and material handling equipment. The industrial floor has to be extremely resilient in order to absorb any kind of dynamical load.

“Protecdal”, a product developed by Technique Béton, is applied during the extensive concreting works. Protecdal is a curing compound that protects against the rapid evaporation of water from concrete. The product prevents dusting and shrinkage cracks.

Additionally, the superplasticizer Addifor 2001 is used on site. It is a powerful water reducing agent and significantly increases plasticity and workability. At the same time, this admixture improves the mechanical strength of concrete.

Technique Béton’s products once again were chosen by the client because of their quality and reliability.
