General Contractor Meca Storage Systems Engineering Office Tides Engineering bvba Construction Period 06/2016 - 10/2016 Carton boxes, in this case filled with textile, can be stored in different ways. An automated storage and retrieval system was the ideal system in this specific case. This storage system is 14 m by 60 m wide and 28 m high. As this storage system is equipped with an automated storage and retrieval system, the shuttle aisles must comply with the specifications of the shuttle manufacturers. For this reason, the accuracy of the installation needs to be very high. The installation is designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the shuttle and takes into account the high frame slenderness. Verticality and stability are obtained by bracing the racking both in vertical and horizontal planes. The entire installation has been executed in cold formed steel profiles. SCIA Engineer was a perfect tool to support us in the design of this specialised project. Storage System - Spain
