Choosing Premises for Coating and Galvanizing Businesses
The estate’s name indicates it was originally established for galvanizing and metal-coating operations. These activities require different permits and infrastructure than a standard workshop. When buying or renting a unit, the following points must be clarified:
- Licence class: Activities involving chemical processes are usually classified as non-sanitary establishments. You should establish in advance which authority will issue the licence and under what conditions.
- Environmental regulations: Depending on the type and capacity of the operation, an environmental permit may be required. The previous operator’s permit file and any inspection records should be examined.
- Wastewater and pre-treatment: Check the discharge conditions into the sewer and whether the premises have pre-treatment facilities.
- Electricity and natural gas capacity: Heat treatment and coating lines consume high levels of energy. Verify the current subscription power and transformer capacity.
- Flooring and ventilation: Inspect the condition of chemically resistant flooring, drainage and ventilation systems on site.
- Traces of previous use: Check for any chemical residues on floors or in the installation; obtain a specialist report if necessary.
