Turnkey Project For Leading Logistics Company

Another Turnkey Project for leading logistics company offering home delivery, warehousing and fulfilment.

The grade A warehouse is the perfect addition to the growing number of UK facilities in the ArrowXL portfolio with its location and features including:

• 75,000 sq ft of Warehouse.
• 8,000 sq ft of CAT A Office.
• 12m Height.
• 6 Dock Levellers.
• 42m Yard.
• 75 Parking Spaces.

Avanta UK Ltd successfully tendered for a turnkey package to fit out the warehouse and the offices.  This is the 4th major contract Avanta UK Ltd have undertaken for ArrowXL in recent years but this time, in addition to the pallet racking there were additional requirements, including:

• Full Electrics including energy efficient PIR LED lighting for the warehouse & offices.
• Office Fit Out to create offices, meeting rooms, breakout areas, toilets plus a new canteen facility. This included an air conditioning system designed to be more Covid secure with extra filtration.
• Automatic Sprinkler System for the warehouse including new tank and pumphouse.
• Security Caged Area with shelving and benches for hand-held scanners.

Having partnered with ArrowXL on numerous occasions, Avanta UK Ltd quickly designed the most appropriate wide aisle pallet racking solution following on from the recent larger Blackpole project blueprint. This includes:

• Pallet racking to accommodate circa 5000 pallets.
• Certain runs in the racking system had bottom mounted beams to accommodate larger white goods and furniture.
• Each upright that supported a bottom mounted beam had a bespoke 600mm high rack guard upright protector. All other uprights were also fitted with polypropylene post protectors.
• Each racking bay had appropriate end of rack protection utilising welded steel tubular barriers.
• Each pallet position is clearly labelled using magnetic labels, aisle markers and bay labels.
• Each pallet racking bay has end of aisle load notices in accordance with SEMA regulations.

The Programme of Works was originally a ten-week build, however post the order being placed the client required the project to be completed earlier.  Avanta UK were able to accommodate this and delivered 9 days under the original finish date.

The new site at Enfield will enable ArrowXL to  further increase its warehousing and delivery capacity in London and the South East. It is part of the company’s commitment to having the  right infrastructure in place to continue to provide high levels of service across the UK.

“This was another opportunity for Avanta to work with the excellent team at ArrowXL. Understanding their needs enables us to work quickly and efficiently with each other to achieve the business’s aims and ambitions.  The added bonus of designing and building new offices, canteen and toilets was an excellent opportunity for me to demonstrate our company’s turnkey abilities and I know they will be delighted with the end results.” Avanta UK Ltd.
