Oakland International - warehouse reconfiguration project
A Chiller Warehouse measuring 30,000m2 required rejuvenation, whilst keeping the business running effectively and keeping disruption to a minimum. The goal was to maximise operational efficiency, improve working environment and reduce environmental impact.
Project requirements
Improved Lighting configuration, utilising a lighting design to suit the new 12 x aisle layout
Install emergency lighting design to achieve escape lighting as per BS 5266
Mains room in middle of warehouse requires decommissioning whilst ensuring essential
supplies are powered, ensuring full operation of warehouse
New distribution board to be installed on main wall of warehouse and supply re-routed to suit
Refrigeration panel to be relocated to allow for warehouse reconfiguration
5 x coolers and 2 x compressor systems rewired to suit new layout on site
Project management and client awareness throughout entire project and smooth running of the project paramount throughout
Project outcome
We successfully completed the project on time and to budget. The reconfiguration achieved a more efficient and better quality working environment, whilst also delivering significant energy savings.
It is now part of a larger project to deliver these benefits throughout the site.
