Construction logistics hub
Sustainable logistics solutions for the construction site
In addition to the existing high level of traffic, roads around construction sites have to cope with the additional burden of site traffic. This leads to traffic jams, rat runs in neighbourhoods and noise and air pollution. A solid traffic and land use analysis helps prevent these negative and potentially delaying effects. By integrating construction logistics hubs, optimal traffic routing for site traffic can be worked out.
Large quantities of building materials can be delivered sorted by type and assembled into sets according to the work preparation in a consolidation warehouse in the vicinity of the construction site. This means that different areas of a site can be grouped together and supplied with material in accordance with the planning data on a just-in-time basis. it reduces space shortages on the construction site, the amount of site delivery traffic and the noise pollution for residents. Swiss Post uses e-trucks for transport from the construction logistics hub to the site. This further enhances the positive impact of a significantly lower number of direct trips: the e-trucks drive much more quietly and do not produce any exhaust fumes or CO2.
