Métro Terrebonne

This 650,000 sq.ft. project, equivalent to the dimension of 10 football fields, encompasses the construction of an automated distribution center and regional offices. The project required substantial groundwork prior to the beginning of construction.

The 550,000 sq.ft. warehouse incorporates refrigerated and frozen spaces with temperatures ranging from 5°C to -25°C. It boasts an impressive height of 112 feet at certain points, allowing for the integration of storage mezzanines and a very narrow aisle racking arrangement with wire-guided lift trucks.

Once again, Divco collaborated with Witron, renowned for excellence in automation in food distribution. The automated center features robots preparing up to 500 cases per hour, optimized by a grouping algorithm. Consequently, it supplies over 700 group stores throughout Quebec, accommodating a capacity of 7,000 fresh and frozen items.

The complex also houses administrative offices adjacent to the warehouse, totaling 105,000 sq.ft. on three floors. These modern, functional spaces include a spacious entrance hall, open offices, meeting rooms, a cafeteria, all bathed in natural light through ample fenestration. They now host over 300 employees.
