The Zenata Ikea project on the outskirts of Casablanca covers an area of 26,000 m2 and required an investment of approximately 40 million euros, making it the most important base that the Swedish firm has the Maghreb.
SURIS MORROCO collaborated on this project, acting as consultants for the owners throughout the entire process and carried out all of the works. The works included the following installations: electrical (LV and MV), fire detection, structured cabling network, sound systems, intercoms, automated security systems, and centralised technical management.
A single-storey building on a gradient covering a total surface area of 26,000 m2 destined for commercial use. The complex includes public access areas (warehouses, retail, restaurants and kitchen) and areas destined for the exclusive use of IKEA (technical units and offices). The project also included the installation of lighting for the access roads and an exterior carpark with a capacity of 1,200 vehicles.
