Understanding the

Problem

With their productivity hampered by difficult material handling, Bird Stainless contacted us looking for a storage solution to enhance its operation.

Company expansion, coupled with the necessity to store a large proportion of its highly valuable stock in a building not designed for the purpose, hampered productivity by making the day-to-day handling and management of raw materials difficult.
The client needed a solution that didn’t involve complicated and – more importantly – drawn out construction. They needed the extra capacity quickly.

The Space Productiv

Solution

Following a site survey and management consultation, we began a two-phase installation by designing and specifying two new, purpose-built Pop-up Warehouses to accommodate bar diameters, weights and lengths, while also aligning the structure to the Combilift truck specifications.
Suitable sites had already been identified as locations for the new purpose built storage facilities as part of the planning phase. Following site clearance and access construction, the existing concrete base in one area was cleaned up and made good, and a second base was laid to provide suitable platforms for principal construction to begin.
The new facilities were constructed consecutively, the smaller of the two buildings being the first to be commissioned. In each case, the racks and heavy duty forklift truck guide rail systems were installed first.
Once the racking was installed, the apex beams, purlins and side rails were then affixed and the cladding began, utilising durable Nor-Clad weather resistant lapped sheets on both the roof and walls to complete the Pop-up Warehousing structure.
Installation of rainwater goods ensured that both buildings were weatherproof and adequate drainage was provided. Once fully clad, safety exit doors were installed at the rear of each building and the cladding sheets were trimmed and flashed. High quality sheets were trimmed and flashed. High quality powered roller shutter doors finished off each build, providing security for the stock.
We used our standard range of heavy duty, bolted adjustable cantilever systems for the racking in both buildings. Constructed from hot-rolled steel beams and channels, each system provides a storage capacity of base + 8 x arm levels at 1000kg per arm giving a total of 8000kg per column side. Taken as a whole, the new buildings have a total storage capacity of 1500-1750 tonnes of stainless steel bar.
We co-ordinated the build with the planning authorities, building control and independent MIStructE sign off. Both the finished buildings are now in full use and have significantly contributed to the improved running of the whole Bird Stainless stock operation.

Delivering lasting

impact

Constructed around an integral heavy duty cantilever racking system, Space Productiv pop-up warehouse buildings house increased productivity by enabling Bird Stainless to store the material stock in a more ordered and accessible fashion; allowing order-picking via a guided forklift system and making stocktaking a hugely simplified task. 

The racks are all identified and the client has an IT system in place for the stock location and quantity management to further improve productivity within the facility.
In addition to the productivity impact for our client, we were delighted when the main contractor on-site requested permission to use Space Productiv’s risk assessments and method statements as examples in future work which we hope will have a positive health and safety benefit for many sites across the country, even where Space Productiv is not involved.

Our Client

Testimonials

See what our clients have to say about Space Productiv.

We recently employed Space Productiv again on a new project in Manchester for a spin off from the popular TV show Bake Off.

The project was within an 8m high shell and Space Productiv have collaborated on the design and structural calculations to include a new steel staircase. The service was prompt with good customer service and the build took 3 days!

Carl Brown, Manager Director – Select Interiors

It’s clear that they prioritise not only functionality but also the overall customer experience. Truly a standout effort!

I was very Impressed with the quality of the racking packaging, showing only the name and details rather than direct reference to Space Productiv. Their attention to detail in the packaging reflects the care and expertise that Space Productiv brings to their work.

Todds Leap Racking & Shelving

The team’s attention to detail, commitment to safety, and clear communication throughout the project make them a pleasure to work with.

They bring a level of reliability and confidence that is rare to find, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional installation services.

Mark Hickey, Consultant – Ultimate Group

I worked with Space Productiv on a project in Stockport where they built a mezzanine and an unconventional bridge, plus handrail which was an outstanding piece of work!

Carl Brown, Manager Director – Select Interiors

Space Productiv have a great installation team, all their work is safe, steady, and methodical and reflects a high level of professionalism and expertise.

Every step of the installation process is carried out with precision and care, ensuring that the result is not only functional but also meets the highest standards of quality.
