Novio Noutic
In this behind the scenes, two branches of Van Tiem come together. At our partner of the Maritime department, Novio Nautic, we carried out a multifaceted project. Our work varied from the installation of electricity and lighting to sustainable charging stations and solar panels. In addition, we pulled the cables for the security with camera, fire alarm and burglar alarm systems. In this blog, Johan van Garderen takes you behind the scenes.

Johan originally came to install just the cable duct. “I was soon told that I could do the entire project. A nice challenge, because the diversity in this project is new to me,” he says. He completed the entire installation in 2.5 weeks. In the warehouse of the building he shows the installation of the lighting, inverter and distribution box. “When I started here, the building was bare. Everything still had to be installed.”
Separate distribution box in the test room
A special aspect of this project is the separate test room. Novio Nautic specializes in maritime navigation and electronics equipment, specifically for the inland shipping market. This equipment must be tested in a separate test room. “We have installed a separate sub-distributor for this. This allows them to easily switch the power back on without the main distribution box being affected.”
A future-proof building
For this project, we thought ahead. “In the future, the owner wants transmission masts on the roof to test transmission equipment. So I have already done this preliminary work. This also applies to a connection above the table, so that lighting can be hung here later. On the roof of the building, my colleagues have placed 24 solar panels on the building, for sustainable energy generation.”
At the parking lot we have installed a double charging station of 22kW. This charging station is linked to a backoffice provider, so that charging sessions can be viewed and settled. In addition, the charging station is equipped with dynamic load balancing. This means that the charging station monitors the available power in the installation, so that the main connection is not overloaded.

Customer speaks
Joop Bonnikhorst, Novio Nautic
Both in the preliminary phase and the execution, the collaboration was very pleasant. You can make agreements with Van Tiem. In addition, they think along well and we are very satisfied with the quality of the materials used.
The benefits of the installation are clear: user-friendly functions such as automatic lighting, a sense of security thanks to the security systems, and the expectation of a low energy bill thanks to the solar panels. Let the sun shine!
