The e-commerce, pharmaceutical and food industries make the most use of warehouses, but they are employed by a wide variety of other businesses as well. PEB warehouses have replaced conventional brick and mortar structures, which were the norm just a few decades ago. Pre designed steel warehouses have been popular in recent years because of their durability and low cost. In addition to this, there are a plethora of benefits, such as rapid building, low maintenance, adaptability during growth, and more.
In this article, we will examine several critical elements to think about when constructing a warehouse:
- Lofty ceiling
In order to store their inventory before distribution, the vast majority of enterprises, including e-commerce corporations, rent warehouses. So, the warehouses have a lot of high racks full of these products. Therefore, for optimal stacking and storage, a warehouse’s ceiling height should be roughly 12 metres.
- The loading and unloading areas have a continuous canopy.
Since a warehouse’s major function is storage, it stands to reason that the bays see a significant amount of activity throughout the day. Our recommendation is that warehouses have a number of docks, each with its own cover. The canopy will keep your inventory dry and safe from the elements if your warehouse is located in a rainy region.
- Multiple Openings
Loading and unloading are regular occurrences at a warehouse. As a result, we advise constructing multiple bays or openings so that, even on peak traffic days, product delivery is not slowed down by a backlog of trucks.
- Good Insulation Properties
Protecting your inventory from the elements, including precipitation, humidity, mildew, excessive heat, and so on, is the primary reason why insulated sheds are so important in a warehouse. For this purpose, reflective insulating panels are suggested. It’s simple to set up and keeps things dry and clean inside.
- Life-saving fire regulations
Inventory storage facilities store products on which your company relies. Preventing fires, which can result in losses of crores, necessitates taking fire safety precautions. Rockwool insulation panels, which have fire resistance, are ideal for this. The alternative is the mandatory setup of fire sprinklers and hydrants.
