Temperature Controlled Warehouse Solution for Medical Device Storage

An international medical device company required a turnkey warehouse and office solution for a new UK site as part of their expansion.

As manufacturers of pioneering calcium compound devices which regenerate and repair bone and soft tissue, stringent quality and temperature control are of utmost importance.

The Teccon team were selected to consult, specify and install a temperature-controlled warehouse storage solution for the next phase of their growth along with updating and producing new office facilities.

Following a comprehensive design and consultation process, the project was delivered with a new warehouse flooring, pallet racking, mesh enclosures, controlled heating & ventilation and an office and welfare refurbishment.

Challenge

Temperature Control

The sensitive nature of medical equipment necessitates maintaining strict temperature controls throughout the warehouse. However, the presence of large warehouse doors poses a significant risk of rapid temperature fluctuations during stock transfers.

Bio Product Standards

Biomedical devices must be securely stored in a warehouse to maintain stringent quality control standards and ensure their integrity.

Floor Strengthening

Due to the condition of the existing warehouse floor needed it require some remedial work and then finished off with a screed.

Solution

Temperature Control

To protect the sensitive stock, the warehouse temperature had to be maintained strictly within +/- 2 ° of 18°.

To achieve this, and to mitigate the risk of rapid temperature changes, we installed a high-performance ventilation and heating system at key positions throughout the warehouse. Additionally, time-controlled automatic doors were implemented to minimise sudden temperature fluctuations.

Pallet Racking and Secure Storage

For versatile storage of devices and other stock items, we installed Dexion P90 pallet racking complete with clear signage. The racking is fitted with frame end protectors and upright guards for added durability and safety.

To safeguard the integrity of the medical stock, an additional layer of security was implemented by creating a secure area enclosed with a mesh enclosure, which also incorporated P90 Pallet Racking for efficient storage.

Office Refurbishment and Partitioning

The office space underwent a complete refurbishment to achieve a high standard, featuring two glass-partitioned offices, a meeting room, a kitchen, a breakout area, and fully upgraded toilet and bathroom facilities.

Planning and Roll-out

This turn-key solution was completed in 8 weeks, delivering the client a ready to go solution for consistent quality throughout.

Our proven systems, clear communication, and dedication to the client’s operational needs demonstrate why Teccon continues to inspire customer confidence and remains the first choice for storage solutions.
