Working with the X bite directors and their appointed design and build contractor, we came up with a solution to minimise the number of operating forklift truck aisles by installing a double deep pallet racking system that could work with the client’s flexi trucks adapted to place pallets into this type of configuration. The capacity we created was 2262 Euro pallets, some of the pallets we observed at quotation stage were of poor quality as such we installed mesh waterfall panels for added operational safety.

In addition to the racking, we supplied a 4,000 square foot mezzanine floor which was situated to the rear of the building profiled into the tapered gable wall noted above. On plan this mezzanine resembles the shape of a ‘Harp’ our engineers ensured that every available space for the structure was utilised. Because the structure is 31m long fire protection was also required.

Finally, to fulfil the brief we provided a secure caged area underneath the mezzanine to house the high value goods the client has in their portfolio.
