Planning considerations

What decides how well a warehouse performs.

Most of a distribution building's long-term efficiency is fixed at the design stage. These are the points we work through with clients before steel is ordered.

Design the slab around the racking

Racking base plates and forklift wheels concentrate load on small areas of the floor. Slab thickness, reinforcement and joint positions should be set from the racking plan and the heaviest truck you will run, so joints do not fall under rack legs or in busy aisles.

Fix clear height and column grid early

Usable storage volume depends on the clear height under the roof steel and on how columns line up with aisles. Agreeing the racking and aisle layout first lets the steel frame be designed around it instead of working around the columns later.

Plan the yard and docks with the building

Truck turning space, dock levellers or ramps, and how the yard drains in heavy rain decide how quickly vehicles load and leave. These are cheaper to get right at the start than to rebuild once the site is operating.

Leave room to grow and to get approvals

Fire separation, escape routes and access for firefighting need to satisfy the Ghana National Fire Service and your insurer. Keeping one gable end ready for an extension makes a future bay much simpler to add.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What do you need from us to price a warehouse?

Send the site location and plot size, what the building will store or handle, the clear height and racking you have in mind, any drawings or survey you already hold, and your target timeline. From that we can advise on the civil, steel and racking approach and prepare a quotation.

Can GIWU install racking in an existing warehouse?

Yes. GIWU has installed heavy-duty pallet racking for Twellium Industries at Medie. Work in an existing building starts with checking the floor slab, column positions, doors and clear height so the racking layout fits the space safely.

Do you deliver the whole facility or individual packages?

Either. GIWU can take a warehouse from civil works and slab through structural steel, cladding, racking and mechanical installation as one package, or deliver a single package such as the steel frame or the racking alongside your other contractors.

Which logistics projects has GIWU delivered?

Recent work includes a 1200 SQM steel warehouse at Aveyime for BF Ghana, an 1800 SQM steel warehouse at Dawhenya for JC Udezor & Sons, and heavy-duty racking for Twellium Industries. Details are on the projects page and in the case studies.
