Easing the Way for Distribution Center, Warehouse & Terminal Upgrades

Warehouse and terminal facilities are constantly evolving to meet the changing demand of the logistics sector. New technologies such as automatic storage retrieval systems, pallet dimensioning, and robots, place new demands on existing facilities. Terracon’s expert teams can help logistics facilities managers and owners meet these challenges head-on.

Adding new components to a warehouse or terminal facility may create the need for geotechnical or structural analysis services. For example, adding an automated storage retrieval system may require new footings or structural framing. Terracon works closely with clients, architects, and the engineers of record to provide professional engineering services necessary for modifying existing warehouses, distribution centers, or terminal facilities.

“Involving our team during the early design phase of a ‘structure within a structure’ project, we can provide a range of services throughout the life of the project,” said Brad Urhahn (Director of Major Accounts – Logistics).
