MP designed a 62,500 square foot addition to an existing warehouse for long-term design partner, Ken’s Foods. The project includes extending a Westfalia automated crane pick system to accommodate over 9,000 additional pallet positions, building upon the system that MP had previously assisted in installing in 2017. Additionally, the project involves extending the existing cooler system, adding 8,000 square feet of conditioned space.
The main focus of this project was creating space for an automated system and racking. The goal was to maximize the number of pallets that can be stored. Retrofitting the existing warehouse involved evaluating and adding additional structural and mechanical elements, as the building wasn’t originally designed for this level of structural load and system. The new addition needed to fit within the strict tolerances of the system because it now extends from the existing to the new slab.
