Project overview
Both Wickes and Travis Perkins sell products of all different shapes and sizes and they come from distribution centres, which operate 24/7.
As consumer demand for ecommerce continues to grow so does the need for more space – internally for picking systems, conveyor belts and other necessary equipment but externally for loading and unloading.
CopriSystems installed a number of different sized structures to suit each warehouse site along with smaller canopies at their retail stores, ensuring that no products are left outside and no part of the operation is taking place in the elements. The forklifts running back and forth into the warehouse remain dry, preventing Health and Safety issues with wet floor surfaces.
