This project consisted of a 67,270 sq ft warehouse which was divided internally into 3 areas. The goods in loading bay area had four high roller shutter doors with integral Translyft units. The main warehouse racking area had 14 rows of 10m high racking. The suite of administration offices had an adjacent returns area.

The project was subject to stringent planning and BREEAM constraints, our main task was to ensure the design was efficient.

Due to the vast size of the warehouse space, AAC employed an efficient, low energy, high rack lighting scheme with T5 lamps and timed movement sensors. Flexible bus bar systems were installed to serve transportable machinery. AAC also installed a range of other electrical services including LPS, emergency lighting, fire alarms, CCTV & intruder systems together with structured voice/data wiring.
