WHAT THE CLIENT SAID

“Excellent service – Teepee worked seamlessly with our contractors to deliver a first-class solution that met challenging criteria. Their knowledge of Building Regulations and their professional and collaborative approach with existing suppliers has made this potentially complex process, easy.”

 

CHALLENGES

As the site had a 24/7 operation, great care had to be taken to ensure there would be segregation between Unipart logistics employees and Teepee staff.

Due to the type of products being stored, all aisles had to be fitted with sprinklers to meet insurance requirements.

HOW WE SUCCEEDED

Teepee submitted detailed drawings of the area accompanied by a program of works to Unipart’s Health & Safety division to agree with operations before commencement. In the schedule, Teepee agreed to install perimeter Heras style safety fencing around the build area, with suitable safety signage before starting any works.

This enabled Teepee to install a new perimeter fence nom 3000mm high constructed from angled framed weld mesh steel partitioning to segregate the Aerospace and Defense division from other businesses located within Unipart’s 869,730 sq ft (80,830m2) distribution facility.

On completion of the fencing, Teepee installed new short span shelving. This boltless shelving system comprised bays nom 3000mm high x 1250mm wide x 450mm deep, having 10 shelves in the height capable of supporting a uniformly distributed load (UDL) of 120 Kgs per shelf.

To meet insurance requirements, all shelving bays were fitted with weld mesh backs and sides to segregate products and ensure sprinklers would work effectively in the event of a fire.

 

OUR SOLUTION PROVIDED

  • A new 44,492 sq ft (4,135m2) self contained area.
  • Security doors fitted, to provide restricted access.
  • A total of 336 No. bays of shelving were installed.
  • Approximately 15,000 SKU’s locations were created.

WHAT THE CLIENT SAID

“We were looking to work with a contractor that could take the headache out of this significant re-organisation and re-fit project. The business needed to remain fully operational throughout the programme of works, with disruption kept to a bare minimum. The Teepee team excelled themselves in all aspects of project management from design and installation to third party liaison and management and we are extremely pleased with the results.”

 

CHALLENGES

All works had to be co-ordinated to enable the company to remain fully operational whilst alterations took place. Working closely with Dimensions’ operational team, a time-critical plan was put together to enable relocation of stock before modifications taking place.

On commencement of work, Teepee worked with Dimensions appointed an electrical and mechanical contractor to ensure relevant services were installed above and below walkways.

Before carrying out any modifications, Teepee also obtained Building Regulation approval on behalf of Dimensions.

HOW WE SUCCEEDED

As alterations were over three individual areas totalling 24,296 sq ft (2258m2), three separate build phases were devised allowing these areas to be sub-divided into further sections if necessary.

Phase 1 totalling 12,105 sq ft (1125m2) were split into four individual areas comprising a multi-tier shelving system nom 6700mm high x 1800mm wide x 900mm deep covering an area of 11,523 sq ft (1071m2) fitted with 1200mm wide walkways. To adjoin existing picking facility with Phase 1, a mezzanine floor was installed within the remaining area, complete with two ‘Up and Over’ safety gates. On completion, a total of 14,090 SKU’s were created.

Phase 2 totalling 6,605sq ft (613m2) was split into three individual areas comprising a multi-tier shelving system nom 6000mm high x 1750mm wide x 900mm deep covering an area of 5,541 sq ft (515m2) fitted with 1200mm wide walkways. To adjoin existing picking facility with Phase 2 an ‘L’ shaped mezzanine floor was installed within the remaining area. On completion, a total of 8,432 SKU’s were created.

Phase 3 totalling 5,586 sq ft (520m2) was converted into a bulk storage mobile shelving facility. Teepee installed a false floor with inserted floor rails to enable 3 x static and 15 x mobile runs of shelving to be constructed. Each run consisted of 9 – bays of longspan shelving nom 6100mm high x 1800mm wide x 900mm deep having 10 – beam levels in the height. On completion, a total of 16,296 SKU’s were created.
