Linear fits out state-of-the-art distribution warehouse

April 2022

Last year, Linear helped a client fit out a new 200,000 sq ft state-of-the-art distribution centre in Southampton. Part of the Xpediator Group, Southampton-based Delamode International Logistics Ltd provide warehousing facilities for importers of consumer products for distribution into the retail market. Costing £23 million, the new facility adjoins Delamode International Logistics Ltd’s existing hub and has doubled operational capacity at the logistics centre. The warehouse has been designed to BREEAM ‘excellent’ sustainability standard and will ultimately include a solar panel installation which will more than double the existing solar power generated on the port.

Following months of intense planning and discussion, Linear provided a design to fit out the new distribution centre with Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) pallet storage providing 30,000 pallet locations. A two tier mezzanine area, complete with fire rating, 6 pallet gates and ground level barrier protection, also featured as part of the design.

Maximising use of available space

Used in conjunction with specialist wire-guided materials handling equipment, Very Narrow Aisle pallet racking is ideal for maximizing use of space. It is also a great choice in a brand new facility as it requires a very good quality floor.
