The Challenge
To relocate the business to a new fully operational 22,000 sq ft warehouse storage unit and office facility within in a short period of time due to dilapidation timescales on their existing property.
This was the biggest project Hillaldam Colburn had internally undertaken in 98 years of trading. They needed the best, and needed to know that it would be completed in five weeks, with no interruptions. With such high standards the directors started their research to locate a reputable company with similar working ethics that specialised in industrial storage systems and refurbishments. Eight companies were chosen to quote on the project ahead, after full investigation into each company; STS storage systems were appointed and trusted to take on the task, due to not only their proven record of outstanding construction, but also their ability to identify the weaknesses in the working practises and showing how to improve on the stronger elements of the overall running of the warehouse.
The Solution
From the appointment of the project STS Storage Systems worked alongside the Distribution Manager implementing a day to day schedule to ensure that there was as little disruption to the days working practices, keeping Hillaldam Coburn fully operational at all times, therefore not sacrificing any revenue.
Heavy Duty Cantilever Racking was relocated from the old warehouse to the new site to accommodate the long & heavy product loads. STS Storage Systems installed a new 1754 sq ft mezzanine floor to facilitate new offices above.
Complete refit of the 3,000 sq ft offices and the creation of 4500 sq ft of new offices incorporating our preferred Tenon partition together with Hillaldam’s own system thus demonstrating the quality and features to prospective customers.
Creation of a trade counter, kitchen and restroom area.
All completed on time with necessary building regulation approval.
Mr Hugh Wylie Director of Hillaldam Coburn quoted “Throughout the whole project STS Storage Systems did not fail to deliver, exceeding our expectations with their project management, communication and keeping to budget! We were on a very tight time scale to complete the new building and had no room for error. STS did the job very very well.”
