The long term experience of Direct Steel and Construction in the field of warehouse construction makes its contractors specifically competent in handling construction projects from the easiest to the most complicated ones.

Warehouses have a long term role that date backs in human history. Traditional warehouses were used to store food and harvest from agricultural properties. Other warehouses were used to store timber for construction. The materials used and the design defined the strategy behind the goal of making each warehouse capable of keeping the goods fresh and usable up to the time they are supposed to be used.

In these modern times, warehouses are most likely used by manufacturers, wholesalers, transport companies, importers and exporters as well as industrial parks that are situated outside the main locations for business. In short, modern systems of industrial operations use warehouses to make sure that storage and product management could be better cared for to support the operation of businesses. Depending on the function that the warehouses are going to serve and the places where they are going to be built upon, each warehouse is defined by its systematic characterizations.

Different Types of Warehouses

As mentioned, it is necessary to take note of the functional role a warehouse is expected to perform in order to identify what needs to be included in the structure. This is the reason why our warehouse construction contractors are focused on making sure that before the project commences, they can talk to the clients and agree on what needs to be included in the structure. Our Darien, IL contractors believe that with proper communication with the client, a proper plan emerges. From a proper plan comes a properly defined response to the needs of clients. Establishing such a response to the demands of the clients is necessary- and our warehouse construction contractors put high regard for the need to respect the requirements of the clients accordingly.

Through experience, our warehouse construction contractors find these types of warehouses to be the most demanded by clients served in different setups and different situations.

Retail Warehouse

Retail warehouses are designed to display goods that are distributed for home trade. These warehouses are usually asked for by companies, both small and large scale businesses, for storing certain products. More often than not, these products are non-perishable: hence, requiring much less controlled environments.

As mentioned earlier, the rising trend of online shops making a huge impact in the global market creates a direct rise in the demand for warehouses being constructed in different locations, more often than not less convenient than before. More individual retail resellers online are becoming interested in having their warehouses within their backyard to avoid putting so much of their products’ inventory inside their homes.

Depending on the products to be stored in the warehouses, no matter how large or small the construction is, the internal storage that defines it shall define the specifications of the building materials to be used and the overall pattern of planning that shall be the basis to build the warehouse.

Cool Warehouse for Cold Storage

Usually used in food industries and agriculture, cold storage warehouses are designed to help avoid the rotting of perishables as well as avoid insect damage. To make sure of this preservation, a temperature of as low as -25°C is assured to be retained within the structure at all times.

Cool warehouses often require specific design and added mechanisms to control the temperature as needed by the products being stored. Ammonia and freon compressors are also added to keep the temperature down while also keeping the products fresh. However, some clients might not agree to use these elements because they have a considerable rate of toxicity. This is why the input of the clients is always an essential part of the planning stage.

Currently, there are two specific options for cooling warehouses. One is the Vapor Absorption System (VAS), and the other is Vapor-Compression System (VCS). Not only do these two options differ in installation, but they also differ in terms of being used within more economical results.

In all the planning process, the client and the contractors need to come to a particular agreement to make sure that the place where the warehouse is to be constructed would be amicable to the operation of the cooling down- therefore lessening expenses and keeping the process environmentally sustainable.

Overseas Warehouse

These storage facilities are designed to support trade operations between a host nation with its global commercial allies. Large international companies are exporting their products around the globe, particularly to retailers and offshore branches. This is the reason why overseas building warehouses are considered as huge and critical projects that require a rather serious context of response. Warehouse contracting projects like this one require a specific target time frame to complete the whole construction. A set budget is supposed to be followed through, and specific factors about the warehouse’s functional parts and storage system ought to be carried into account seriously.

Packing Warehouse

The function of packing warehouses is for picking, and labeling as well as putting products in packages for export or transport. This means that this type of warehouse requires enough space for machinery or manpower designed to make the packing process much efficient to move smoothly around the area.

Railway Warehouse

Major railway stations often have railway warehouses to provide storage for products being passed on through train travel. Major railways around the globe have these warehouses to serve the trade businesses happening in and around the areas included within their routes.

Some of these warehouses have specific storage demands especially dedicated to housing toxic materials, as well as environmentally critical substances that are being passed on for transport through railway stations. Depending on the function, the operations that are to take place within the warehouse, building contractors ought to follow through the demands of the clients.

At the same time, studying the location’s capacity to house such types of warehouses intend to provide a much better sense of understanding of how the project ought to be managed, how the budget ought to be allocated and how maintenance could be assumed later after the project is completed.

At Direct Steel and Construction, warehouse construction is considered to be a serious course of work that requires concentrated project management strategies. Our experience in this field of construction projects has been proven efficient by clients, especially because of the concern and attention the company has for the long term impact of most of the projects completed for clients.
