Accessories safe at volkswagen
November 1st 2008 Troax UK has designed a
secure wire mesh storage
enclosure for Volkswagen's
650 000ft2 national parts
distribution centre in
Dordon, Warwickshire. The
enclosure is used to store
high value vehicle
accessories such as radios,
CD players and Volkswagen
badges.
The project was carried
out in conjunction with SSI
Schaefer who, to make the
best use of the building's
height and so maximise
storage space, decided to
relocate an existing storage
unit on the ground floor to
the new custom-built
enclosure on a three tier
mezzanine.
Troax used its Caelum
wire mesh partitioning to
build the new enclosure.
The all-welded 50 by 50mm
wire mesh panelling offers a
high level of security as
apertures are too small for a
hand to reach through, yet
provide a translucent and
fully visible environment
with good air circulation
and lighting. The panels are
constructed from steel
mesh welded to a tubular
frame, to create high
strength between wire and
tube.
The mesh enables
smoke and heat to filter
through to trigger smoke
detection systems and
allows effective penetration
of sprinkler systems in the
event of a fire. More articles from Troax (UK) Limited: |
