This new 66,000m2 warehouse by Richard Crookes Constructions is equipped with advanced automation technology, that handles the storage, sorting and distribution of goods to Coles stores across the region. Operational building heights varied between 27m and 36m, with the builder effecting staged handover to the automation (robot) system installer, to allow progressive installation of automation equipment. Much of the space is temperature controlled, and the warehouse floor space is so significant that 2 fire isolated tunnels were constructed beneath the main building for personnel fire escape purposes, these of 50m and 330m length. 84 individual truck docks service the building. Additionally a 9200m2 cantilevered awning was constructed for covered loading and unloading, plus a 3 story admin-office building, vehicle maintenance area and car parking. A major specialist project, well designed and constructed.
