Examples of some of our recent projects:-
Warehouse Design: 35,000 square metres.
This particular case involved the design of a new 35,000 m2 for a major retail food chain. So our brief included:
- Designing separate compartments to accommodate food products at various temperatures.
- Provision for ambient, temperature controlled fresh foods and vegetables.
- Specification of all freezing and cooling equipment.
- Complete design of loading docks for cross-docking.
- Design for incoming traffic and despatch to allow for external traffic flows and parking.
Warehouse Design: 30,000 Pallet Capacity Warehouse
This particular client required the identification of the optimum location of the site. In addition, it was vital to get the optimum shape and height.
Project Management of a 32 Metre High Automated Warehouse.
This involved the project management of a 32m high fully automated storage and retrieval facility. We specified a double-decked crane system capable of achieving a throughput of 20,00 units per hour. This was the first such system ever built in Europe. It is worth noting that this massive project was completed both on time and on budget.
Operating Efficiency Review of an Automated European Distribution Centre.
This case was an efficiency review of an existing fully automated storage and retrieval facility. The centre provided high bay pallet storage coupled with a tray system for small items. Conveyors were used for both packing areas and end sortation. So the project included re-engineering of all systems and setting up a mathematical model for manpower planning and improved productivity.
Redesign of Raw Materials Stores.
This involved the storage of several different pallet sizes. In addition, there were varying stack height capabilities to serve a high-speed processing and packing operation.
