Spaciotempo goes large

Temporary building specialist, Spaciotempo has supplied Seafield Logistics with a staggering 2,400m2 of additional storage and handling space.

One of the UK's major third party supply chain specialists, Seafield Logistics required an additional warehouse at its Cambridgeshire distribution centre to accommodate business growth with one of its key account customers.

Spaciotempo supplied Seafield Logistics with two gutter linked 20m x 60m buildings, providing the extra capacity needed to fulfil its contract with a global manufacturer of chocolate and confectionery products.

In order to conform with hygiene regulations for the storage of food products, Spaciotempo sealed the inner perimeter of the facility with UPVC fabric, making it rodent-proof and to prevent contamination.

To support the fast moving operation, which serves major retailer's distribution networks across the UK, the new warehouse is equipped with specially designed fast-action speed doors, enabling easy access for MHE operators. The single skin, steel clad unit also comes complete with a modern lighting system allowing a 24-hour operation if required.

Although the largest buildings Spaciotempo supplied last year, the £150,000 contract was completed within four weeks, including manufacturing and installation.

Seafield Logistics' General Manager, Craig Evans, comments: "Having considered leasing additional warehousing from a third party, we found hiring a temporary facility from Spaciotempo delivered greater benefits at a lesser cost.

"Offering a complete service, Spaciotempo was able to provide a bespoke solution which met the specific requirements of our operation."

Spaciotempo®'s extensive product range can accommodate a variety of logistics activities, allowing customers to quickly and cost-effectively expand storage and handling capacity whilst protecting both people and products.

Providing ultimate flexibility, Spaciotempo®'s buildings allow the option of removing wall bays, creating a tunnel or free standing canopy, whilst gutter linked canopies can accommodate entire fleets.

Buildings can be hired from three months up to 20 years and can be modified, extended, reduced, re-located or removed as required, giving customers the flexibility to respond to changing market conditions.
