DEPO LESNAYA - TERMOVENT PROJECT ON THE RUSSIAN MARKET

TERMOVENT PROJECT ON THE RUSSIAN MARKET – DEPO LESNAYA

We are proud of the fact that Termovent has been present on the Russian market for over 10 years. Entering the market was based on the technology of clean rooms, based on turnkey solutions, an area in which Termovent is one of the leaders on the market. Over time, discovering that the Russian market has a great potential, in addition to clean rooms, Termovent has developed its distribution network for sales of air handling units.

One of the most significant objects in Russia, where Termovent has delivered its air handling units is the Lesnaya Depo object in Moscow. It is an exclusive gastronomic district with restaurants, bars, event spaces, sports halls, as well as a largest food shopping center in Europe. Technological requirements were very complex, considering that the object is located in the very center of Moscow, and represents an exclusive location.

The original building was built between 1874 and 1910.

In 2016, Depo Lesnaya building received the status of a cultural heritage site, and in 2017, the adaptation of the building to modern purposes began. The renovation was carried out under the supervision of the Moscow Cultural Heritage Department and was completed in 2019. Termovent participated in this project with the delivery of air handling units.

Within the food shopping center in the Lesnaya Depo, there are 75 gastronomic corners, 1700 seats and 140 fresh food stores. Also, concerts, lectures and events that gather people from all over the world take place within this complex.

We asked our colleague Jovan Milivojević, the sales representative for the Russian market, about the details of Termovent’s participation in this project.

I am extremely glad that we worked on such an important reference project. Through the implementation, we had numerous requirements that we have successfully met.

In accordance with the purpose and specificity of this object, an extremely low noise level is required. Also, non-disturbance of the architectural appearance of the building and great reliability and safety in work. Low noise level is required due to proximity of residential buildings. Depo Lesnaya is located in the center of Moscow, and it was necessary that the noise of our air handling units does not disturb the environment. A special calculation of noise levels was made, and we provided special silencers, in order to meet the technological requirement.

All air handling units are “side by side”, so that they would not be visible on either side of the building, thus preserving the architectural form. The dimensions of air handling units were a special challenge, due to the age of the building and low load-bearing capacity of the ceiling. Air handling units had to be on supporting beams that were in the range of 3-6 meters. This was a challenge for the assembly of air handling units, that we successfully managed.

All air handling units are supplied with a working and spare fan, in case of failure of one, the other automatically starts operating so that the facility would not be left without the required amount of fresh air.

Termovent delivered 14 Standard Pro air handling units, with a total flow of 282,332 m³/h.

We are honored to participate in a project of such great importance. I am proud that Termovent is able to carry out such a complex project, and I believe that we will continue to achieve numerous successes in the Russian market.
