Project
GAUFF Engineering was commissioned with the technical planning and construction supervision for the rehabilitation of the existing distribution centres in the city of Beira, as well as for the construction of a new distribution centre in the Estoril district. As a basis for the planning, the specialists from GAUFF-Engineering carried out on-site inventories in the existing distribution centres in order to determine the entire need for renovation after assessment and technical evaluation.
