After an in depth consultation with John Pye and a thorough racking inspection, carried out by one of our SEMA Approved Racking Inspectors, we provided a brief for the scope of works needed in order to fix the 160 issues identified following the inspection. These findings provided John Pye with an opportunity to overhaul their solutions.

It was identified that John Pye had more than one racking system in place, while some materials were readily available, others had become increasingly difficult to source and were no longer cost-effective to keep on site. To streamline operations, all mixed and non-cost-effective systems were removed, leaving one standardised system in use.

New shelving was installed across salesrooms 47-50, providing a more organised and accessible environment while also increasing the square meter of the space, taking it from 587sqm to 1810 sqm.

Enhanced safety features were also installed to further protect employees and streamline operations:

Goal Posts were installed to prevent forklifts from entering specific areas, minimising the risk of accidents.
Armco barriers were placed at the goods-in entrance to segregate this high-traffic area, ensuring clear and safe pathways.
Handrails were strategically added around the perimeter of the goods-in area to provide an extra layer of protection for staff.
Wheel Stops were installed to help guide large vehicles into the warehouse, preventing any risks to staff.
