Project

Transport reduction

The inner-city new-build project used the stock module, which helped reduce the number of transport movements. Space was optimised and logistics processes were made to run more smoothly. Thanks to the hub, the supply of materials ran smoothly, preventing congestion and delays.

In short

Ilips played an important role in the inner-city new housing project by strategically using an external hub for transport reduction. This approach ensured efficient and calm execution on the limited construction site by reducing and thus optimising the number of transport movements.

The project

The new-build project took place in an inner-city location with a strong focus on sustainability and efficiency. The limited space made it logistically complex. By deploying the stock module at an external hub, materials and packages could be assembled there. This allowed optimum use of space on the construction site and made logistical processes run more smoothly.

The challenge

The limited space at the site and the need to plan transport accurately made logistics challenging. It was essential to minimise the number of transport movements and ensure the smooth supply of materials to avoid congestion and delays.

The solution

Using an external hub: with ilips’ module, it was possible to collect and assemble materials and packages before transporting them to the construction site. This approach reduced the number of transport movements required and lowered congestion around the construction site, making the execution of the project more efficient.

Efficient supply of materials: by collecting materials in the remote hub, Ilips was able to better regulate the supply of materials. Automatic messages to suppliers kept them informed of the specific rules and schedule, ensuring a smooth logistical flow on site
