Temporary Building for Logistics Operation

Client: Fortec Pallet

Background: Fortec Pallet is a company that specialises in national pallet distribution. As part of the giant French logistics group Geodis, Fortec uses unique scanning and bar coding technology for each assignment, which ensures easy tracking of pallets from collection to delivery.

Requirement: Fortec contacted Spaciotempo when they were embarking on a major investment involving a new bar-coding facility. A temporary building one and a half times the length of an artic was required adjacent to the central Hub near Rugby to serve as a scanning tunnel for inbound and outbound vehicles.

Solution: Within 48 hours a 10m wide, 15m long and 6m high temporary building was erected by Spaciotempo. As per the requirement both ends of the structure were left clear creating a tunnel. Lights were fitted to the ceiling ensuring the 24-hour operation was able to continue.

Benefit: Together with providing the area for scanning, the temporary building supplied has created additional unloading space for Fortec, which has eliminated queuing vehicles at the entrance and outside the premises.
