The Brief
Martin Brower needed to expand racking capacity at their fully operational distribution centre in Heywood but without disrupting ongoing stock movements, order fulfilment, or warehouse access. The project had to be delivered through phased handovers, with new pallet positions coming online in stages to match operational demand.
The Challenge
Install a full pallet racking system including safety protection, mesh panels, identification labelling, and custom partitioning in a live warehouse environment. Phase one had a strict deadline: 2,000 pallet spaces had to be installed and ready for use in just 5 working days, with no interruption to active operations.
What We Delivered
- 2,000 pallet locations delivered in phase one completed within 5 days
- Full system installation including:
- 600m² of anti-collapse mesh
- Mesh panel decking for heavy-duty rack upright protection
- Custom steel partitioning systems
- Labelling and location ID signage
- Phased installation programme carefully planned to maintain continuous warehouse access
- Delivered under CDM 2015, with complete H&S documentation, method statements and risk assessments
- Carried out by our highly experienced installation team, in a live logistics operation
The Result
Martin Brower received a significant storage capacity increase without a single day of operational downtime. The fast-track installation gave them immediate access to 2,000 new pallet spaces, while the full system was rolled out in seamless phases behind the scenes. The project was delivered on time, safely, and without compromise.
