On September 29, 2017, the new Decathlon store was inaugurated in Berango (Biscay). It is store number 7 in the Basque Country, added to the two “City” stores that the French brand has in the Basque Country.

The store is located in a recently created warehouse within the development of the Landaida Goikoa commercial sector. Within this development, there are other confirmed tenants such as Mercadona, Lidl, and Burger King. The store has 4,999m2 of floor area, of which over 4,000m2 are dedicated to the sale of sports goods to the public with 110 sports disciplines set up in the store.

GMD Solutions led all the engineering and construction management work for the adaptation of the warehouse to convert it into a Decathlon store, the first large-format store in which engineering has been involved. The project included:

  • Follow-up works on the property: this consisted of advising Decathlon and verifying compliance with our client’s requirements.
  • Staff rooms: changing rooms, toilets, a meeting room, etc.
  • Fire Protection Installations (PCI): all the equipment required by regulations was included in order to have the store always prepared in case of fire.
  • Low Voltage Installation: from the transformer station to the interior of the store, including a generator set in case of emergency.
  • LED lighting: the salesroom and the other rooms of the store are illuminated with LED technology, which allows significant electricity savings (about 40,000kWh per year, i.e. the equivalent of 25 tons of CO2). The lighting mesh in the salesroom is Trilux brand and is designed to provide illumination in excess of 1,000lx. This store also has an intelligent lighting management system based on the natural lighting received by the numerous skylights installed on the roof.
  • Anti-intrusion and CCTV systems ensure optimum store security.
  • All the projects were carried out in collaboration with our partner in the field of architecture, Arellano Arquitectos; while the execution of the works was executed by the construction company OCP (CIVITY GROUP), the electric installer Metainstalaciones, the security installer Grupo Agüero, and Iberext, company specialized in fire protection installations.

This strengthens the professional relationship that our engineering company maintains with the French multinational. This store was the third in which GMD Solutions has participated in 2017 as reference engineering for Decathlon after Orihuela and Miranda de Ebro.
