On December 14, 2018, the new Decathlon store in Motril (Granada) was inaugurated. This is store number 3 in the province of Granada, the number 24 in the Andalusian community, and the number 170 of the French brand in Spain.

The establishment is located in a recently created commercial building within the MOT-21 urban development. Other businesses in this commercial park include Burger King, Mercadona, and, in the future, the Danish brand JYSK. The store has more than 1,700m2 of constructed area, of which almost 1,500m2 are dedicated to the sale of sporting goods to the public.

GMD Solutions carried out all the engineering and construction management work for the adaptation of the raw space to convert it into a Decathlon. The projected works included:

  • Monitoring of the property’s works, which consisted of advising Decathlon and verifying compliance with the requirements of our client.
  • Construction and adaptation of staff rooms (changing rooms, meeting rooms, public and private toilets).
  • Fire protection installations (PCI): all the equipment required by regulations was included,  in order to have the store always prepared in case of fire (extinguishers, equipped fire hydrants, optical smoke detectors, and alarms), so as to ensure the safety of customers at any time.
  • LED lighting: the salesroom and the other rooms in the store use LED technology, which allows significant electricity savings (about 40,000kWh per year; that is the equivalent of 25 tons of CO2). The lighting mesh of the salesroom is from Trilux brand and is designed to provide lighting greater than 1,200lx.
  • Anti-intrusion installation and CCTV that ensure an optimal situation of the store.
  • Legalization of the facilities according to the legislation.

All projects were carried out in collaboration with our partner in the field of architecture, Arellano Arquitectos; while the execution of the works was performed by VERA Y BAÑO; SOMAINS was the electrical installer; CHUBB PARSI, the security installer, and GRUPO NORMEX, a company specialized in fire protection installations.

 In this way, the professional relationship between our engineering company and the French multinational continues successfully. This store was the culmination of an intense year of projects with Decathlon, after the opening of Decathlon in Cádiz, the renovation of the pump room in the Mérida store and the climate machines in various stores within the maintenance plans;  as well as the start-up of the Decathlon warehouse in Getafe (CLA Madrid Sur), which has been the GMD’s largest project with the French brand.

We are currently working on projects under development with our client in various locations
