Case Study : Newcastle Fire Damage

Large third party distributor and haulage company based in Newcastle upon Tyne, suffered a fire in one section of their warehouse. Part of the building structure required extensive rebuilding and refurbishment work.

As an existing user of Dexion storage equipment, and as the building works neared completion, the client contacted HSS. Together they were involved in the design of a new Dexion Drive In Racking system to accommodate 2800 pallet locations.

The new racking system would accommodate all pallets which were currently stored in other premises as well as offering additional locations for future expansion.

By working longer than usual days and often seven day weeks, HSS managed to complete the installation on time, allowing the client to relocate goods from the other warehouses, and back to one main site, along with their other operations.
