Project overview
Radius Warehouse & Logistics Services are an international freight forwarding business offering fulfilment solutions for worldwide cargo movement. When their warehouses reached full capacity, they were forced to store surplus stock outside, covered under tarpaulin, which takes significant man-power and time to manoeuvre and secure. It is also inconvenient to access and does not offer an effective long-term solution for protecting goods from the elements.
We visited them at the beginning of September 2020 and they placed an order the following day for a retractable canopy structure measuring 4m wide x 5m long x 4m high, flashed to their existing building at the rear, with curtain doors at the front. We set ground tracks into the concrete to prevent trip hazard and allow forklifts to drive over with no issues.
The whole structure was designed, built and installed by the end of October 2020.
