Geodis

Geodis needed to optimise their space while ensuring operational efficiency. They envisioned a 20,000 sq ft, three-storey mezzanine to accommodate a new office space, reception area, boardroom, open-plan and cellular offices, staff canteen, and logistical support offices. Additionally, they sought to address their furniture needs, install a full-height warehouse racking system, enhance warehouse staff facilities, and introduce an automated garment hanging storage centre. To meet civil aviation standards, the project also required the creation of a bonded secure facility.

One of the primary challenges of this project was to execute it without disrupting Geodis' ongoing operations. With a demanding nine-week timeline, we worked around the clock, 24/7, to ensure minimal disruption. Detailed phasing, comprehensive program management, and stringent logistics and health and safety plans were implemented to seamlessly integrate construction with the facility's day-to-day operations.

To fulfil Geodis' technical specifications, we installed a standalone air conditioning system for the mezzanine facility, a three-phase power supply for forklifts and the mechanised garment handling system. Selective builders' work was also performed to facilitate the installation of dock levellers and dock shelters/seals.

Our multidisciplinary team, comprising project managers, interior designers, and construction experts, worked in perfect harmony to transform Geodis' vision into a reality. The project was completed on time, within budget, and with utmost quality. Geodis now boasts a state-of-the-art facility that not only meets their operational requirements but also provides an inspiring and functional workspace for their staff.
