Year-round, all-weather cover

The purpose of the temporary building was to provide an insulated distribution and loading and unloading area of cabinets and kitchen shelving for the busy 24/7 main production site.

At an initial site visit the Herchenbach team identified the particular requirements of the client and the optimal configuration of a temporary structure to meet them. The solution was a semi-permanent structure of 45m width, 40m length and 6.2m internal clear height. The structure has aluminium frames walls made of insulated steel panels and an insulated roof made of high-grade industrial PVC tarpaulin, to ensure the building would be able to be heated efficiently to ca. 20 degrees Celsius during cold periods of the year. As the newly produced kitchen units are humidity and temperature sensitive, the complete satisfaction of this requirement was critical in the customer’s decision-making process.

The building was to be sited on uneven ground and connected to two existing warehouses, which Herchenbach was able to accommodate as well as also installing an additional partition wall to create a weather proof loading bay. Energy efficient LED lighting and a customised rainwater downpipe layout rounded the specifications off.

The customer was impressed by how quickly they could have a new storage facility on site, just weeks from first contact to fully functioning on-site warehouse. The building was completely installed in just under 20 working days, without significant disruptions to the internal logistics and processes. The long-term durability, in terms of the structure, was something that the customer’s site manager was especially impressed by once he saw the finished building.
