Revolutionising Distribution Centre Construction: The Harvey Norman Case Study
A purpose-built distribution warehouse that services Harvey Norman stores in Christchurch now provides customers with a central location to pick up big-ticket items.
The new distribution centre construction in Hornby consolidated three existing warehouses and was designed specifically for the company's needs, including precise inward goods truck movements and a unique racking layout.
Precise timing was critical for the renowned retail company, which needed construction fast-tracked due to impending lease expiration.
Coresteel's tailored steel buildings and skilled warehouse builders were the selling points. Our dedicated project team responded by staying connected with the client, consultants, and contractors from start to finish to ensure the timeline advanced without delays.
Harnessing Steel in Warehouse Construction: The Coresteel DonoBeam® Advantage
Harvey Norman chose a DonoBeam® structure from Coresteel Buildings for their steel warehouse construction. Corcon is the exclusive provider of Coresteel Buildings steel structures in the Canterbury area.
Large steel structures engineered in DonoBeam® effortlessly deliver the significant knee heights and clearspan required for massive warehousing and distribution centre construction.
The tapered box beam steel structure allows for a clearspan of 40 metres across the building and bird-resistant features in the prominent canopy.
At 2706 sqm, the warehouse includes a reception area/public entry, offices at either end, staff amenities and a special MAF-approved area. The concrete slab is reinforced with armoured steel joints to bear the weight of freight trucks and heavy machinery.
Coresteel Buildings Canterbury has vast experience delivering commercial construction projects with strict deadlines. Here is another impressive demonstration of Coresteel's agile approach to steel warehouse solutions!
