CAREX success story in Portugal with SOVE

The Horse Aveiro project was installed on the roof of the Renault Group’s automotive factory. Our distributor, SOVE (Sociedade de Vedantes e Máquinas), installed various safety lanes to delineate traffic.

The Horse factory in Aveiro has been producing gearboxes and mechanical components for the automotive industry since its inauguration in 1981. Aveiro’s geographical location allows it to benefit from optimized access infrastructure, thus fostering its economic development. All production is exported to eight countries across three continents.

Why install a technical corridor on an industrial roof?

Facilitate access to equipment

One of the main objectives of a technical walkway is to connect the different points that require maintenance.

This allows for more organized access to:

  • HVAC equipment.
  • Ventilation systems.
  • Photovoltaic inverters.
  • Electrical panels.
  • Telecommunications systems.
  • Inspection and control elements.

Organizar los recorridos de mantenimiento

Periodic maintenance requires clear and repeatable schedules.

A technical walkway helps establish defined routes that facilitate interventions and improve operational efficiency.

Reduce wear on the cover

When operators always use the same designated passageways, it prevents traffic from spreading across the entire roof surface.

This helps to preserve the long-term integrity of the installation.

Improve maintenance planning

The existence of defined routes allows for better organization of tasks, optimization of time and reduction of incidents during inspection or repair operations.
