Diseño de una planta de producción de forros y espumas para 90 empleados en el municipio de Girón, Santander

Abstract

This undergraduate project presents the design of a new production plant for seat covers and foams for Jacob’s Product’s S.A. in the municipality of Girón, Santander, as a response to the structural, operational, and environmental limitations of the current facility, which was adapted from a preexisting building. The main objective was to design a modern and functional industrial plant that optimizes production processes, improves labor comfort, and incorporates bioclimatic strategies, taking the company’s corporate values as the conceptual foundation of the design. The methodology was structured in four phases: diagnosis of the existing plant, regulatory and industrial process analysis, study of climatic conditions, and selection of appropriate materials. The results reveal an architectural proposal based on the principles of harmony, order, and hierarchy, with a modular structural system that articulates functionality and spatial flexibility. The design proposes an efficient urban grouping adaptable to future growth and a bioclimatic approach integrating controlled mechanical ventilation, solar energy collection through photovoltaic panels, and rainwater harvesting via sloped roofs. It is concluded that the integration of corporate values, structural criteria, and sustainable strategies consolidates an efficient industrial architecture model that is coherent with the environment and representative of the innovative spirit of Jacob’s Product’s S.A.S.
