As part of the chocolate production plant expansion for Barry Callebaut in Novi Sad, Building A1 was constructed to house storage tanks for finished products.  The new section has a gross area of 309.38 m² and is built as a single-level facility.

Urban and Construction Basis

The design was developed in full compliance with the City of Novi Sad’s planning documentation, including the urban plan by JP “Urbanizam”.

⚡ Electrical Installations (Low Voltage Systems)

Scope of Work:

• Power supplied from a 20/0.4kV transformer station (4×2500 kVA) – using reserve from Phase 1

• LED lighting systems (interior, exterior, and emergency) with IP protection and 1–3h autonomy

• Lightning protection system with foundation grounding (FeZn strip 25×4 mm)

• TN-S protection system with automatic power disconnection

📡 Telecommunications and Signal Systems (ELV)

Installed Systems:

• Structured Cabling System (SCS) for voice and data integration

• IP Video Surveillance (internal and external) with remote access

• Access Control (ACC): card readers and security locks for two doors

• Fire Detection and Alarm System: addressable detectors (optical, thermal, manual, linear), alarm sirens, HVAC shutdown, elevator recall, and door release functions

• Smoke and Heat Exhaust System (SHEVS): electric-powered roof domes managed via control panel integrated with FACP

🔍 Note

This chocolate production plant expansion successfully integrated modern MEP systems into an existing industrial facility with minimal infrastructure upgrades.
