The project provides 260,000ft2 of warehouse distribution and 10,000ft2 of office / canteen for the southern operation of Viking Direct / Office Depot International (UK) Ltd – one of the worlds largest office supplies companies.
Our contract consisted of the fitting out of the offices with extensive internal offices being formed with the use of the Logika 3000 partitioning system. Data and communications wiring and power then being provided via raised access flooring with lighting and air conditioning being provided via the suspended ceiling.
Within the warehouse full electrical distribution, ducted heating system and sprinklers were provided throughout. This was co-ordinated extremely closely with approximately 10 million pounds of racking, mezzanine and material handling conveyor systems for which we were responsible for managing the entire installation and co-ordination with our building services fit-out. On completion of the racking and mezzanines, we then extended the sprinkler system to incorporate in rack and under mezzanine sprinklers as well as providing further heating, lighting and power to the mezzanines.
Included externally were an electrical switchroom, transformer housing and standby generator which were all constructed on concrete driven piles with other buildings such as pump house and car parkgate house also being provided.
