Major steel fabrication and supply company Kierbeck required a new loading platform at the Barking Depot in East London. This was to meet the demands of handling their very heavy steel products. To avoid risking structural compromise or delays, we need to efficiently store and load the products onto trucks.
Furthermore, the platform not only had to be durable but also constructed within an exceptionally tight timeframe. This project needed to align with the depot’s rigorous production and delivery schedules.
To meet these kinds of requirements, the engineers chose a RamWall combined retaining and founding wall. This innovative system provided the strength and stability necessary to bear the significant loads of the steel products while also ensuring a cost-effective approach.
Moreover, the RamWall system’s design allows it to serve as both a retaining wall and a foundation. This then minimizes material and construction complexity for Barking Depot.
The construction team, consequently, successfully built the entire wall in just one day, which is critical for keeping the project on track. Moreover, this rapid installation ensured that Kierbeck could subsequently proceed with completing the platform.
Also, Kierbeck could meet the strict time constraints imposed by factory operations. By utilizing RamWall, the project was able to meet the dual objectives of cost efficiency and time sensitivity, demonstrating the versatility and practicality of this construction method.
Ultimately, the new loading platform at Barking Depot now provides a reliable and robust solution for handling Kierbeck’s steel products, ensuring seamless operations for both production and delivery schedules.
The success of this project highlights the importance of innovative construction solutions in addressing the unique challenges faced by industries requiring heavy-duty infrastructure within limited timelines.
