facilities management case study l
The floor at a new Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) warehouse facility in Greece was recently completed by Eurolit Industrial Flooring, Concrete Grinding Ltd's representative in Greece.
Greek triumph T
he floor of the distribution centre, belonging to a well known supermarket chain Masoutis S.A. in Greece, was built by Eurolit using laser screed construction to meet at least with Line 4 of the DIN 18202 – the strictest DIN free movement specification.
CG’s involvement in the project was to use its patented Laser Grinder technology to grind the narrow aisles to a tolerance suitable for the VNA trucks to operate safely and efficiently.
Before grinding, a profileograph survey was carried out in every aisle and the results analysed to determine where the floor was out of the required specification of DIN 15185 >6m (for lift heights of 6m or higher).
Of the 4,510m of aisles, CG found that only 46% (2053m) of the floor within the truck’s outer wheel tracks and 8.5% (384m) of the centre wheel track required Laser Grinding to meet with this specification.
CG’s unique and cost-effective approach minimised the amount of
grinding, as only the areas out of specification needed grinding rather than the full length of every aisle. This process also ensured a quick work programme on-site, which was critical for this project as grinding was completed before the installation of racking.
After grinding, a second profileograph survey was carried out in every aisle and Face Consultants issued a report to the client to confirm compliance with the DIN 15185 >6m specification. It is worth noting that the design of
