Industrial projects

Engineering & project experience

From drawings
to installations.

Three examples from Sylvain Davrout’s work as an employee at Innovafeed. DIS is a business in preparation that builds on this approach; these are prior professional projects, not DIS client references.

Utility corridor with HVAC equipment and pipework

GZ · RESTORED PHOTOGRAPH

01 / GZ1 · GZ2 · GZ3 — Completed facilities

Connecting engineering and execution.

Transform existing buildings into research facilities: organise spaces, develop equipment and integrate process utilities.

Sylvain’s role at Innovafeed covered project leadership and technical management, from design and supplier consultations to budget control, execution and commissioning.

GZ1/GZ2: rearing spaces, material preparation and injection, test containers, air treatment and monitoring. GZ3: a programme comprising six laboratories and 36 independently climate-controlled cages, with external construction coordination for the relevant work packages.

An operational approach

Design. Install. Make it work.

Technical design is combined with hands-on equipment integration. Depending on the agreed scope, DIS coordinates installation with suppliers and specialist contractors, reducing handovers between engineering and execution.

3D design model of the proposed insect-rearing pilot plant in Japan

3D DESIGN · JAPAN PROJECT

02 / Japan pilot — Design and development

Design the process.
Plan its integration.

Design work for an insect-rearing pilot plant: material preparation and distribution, rearing equipment and environmental control, with building, maintenance and utility interfaces.

Sylvain’s role included process architecture, equipment development and coordination with international partners.

HVAC test enclosure with air distribution ductwork

03 / HVAC test rig — Design and testing

Measure before scaling up.

A container-based test enclosure coupled with an air-treatment skid to investigate environmental conditions and compare air distribution around equipment.

Thermal and airflow sizing, instrumentation, monitoring and test preparation bring design assumptions into contact with measurements.

Experience at Innovafeed. No quantified performance claim is made without a documented test protocol and reference conditions.
