Siemens Transportation
Connect Storage Systems successfully implemented a comprehensive storage solution for Siemens Transportation at their Heathrow Express Traincare Facility in Acton, London. This project, completed in 2004 with a contract value of 200k, involved designing and installing mobile Euro shelving, small parts shelving, personnel and tool lockers, and specialised storage for heavy and awkwardly sized items like pantographs and ACUs. Despite challenges posed by limited space in an old British Rail Train Shed, CSS maximised storage efficiency with innovative solutions, ensuring seamless operations for Siemens Transportation.
Heathrow Express, Acton, West London
In 2004, Siemens Transportation Systems opened their new Heathrow Express Traincare Facility to cover the Rail Service from Europe`s Busiest Airport to the centre of London.
CSS were given the task to design a new Storage System to cope with small items from a pack of screws to Bulk Items: Pantographs & ACU`s which weigh up to 5000kgs. Coupled with this challenge, we had to squeeze the Storage Media into an old British Rail Train Shed with limited space.
We maximised the existing Storage Cube with Mobile Shelving to hold the Consumable products and smaller Bulk Items on Longspan Shelving.
The heavy & awkwardly sized Bulk Items were stored on specially designed Cantilever Racking with Heavy Duty Steel Shelf Decks.
We were pleased to be awarded another prestigious Contract for Siemens and in conjunction with the nominated Building Contractor we supplied Heavy Duty Cantilever Racking, Euro Shelving with Pick Bins, Mobile Shelving, Tool & Personnel Lockers, Workbenches & Cloakroom Equipment.
Heavy Duty Cantilever Racking has the flexibility to cope with Siemens large Bulk Stock which can be up to 4m in length as well as up to 5000kgs in load.
