Project managers complete £37m auto handling and storage solution for Coca Cola
June 18th 2007

Project managers, Faithful+Gould have created a fully automated storage and distribution centre for Coca Cola by extending an existing facility.

The facility will allow CCE to store products on the same site as its production lines, rather than at a separate distribution outlet, generating significant cost savings and greatly improving its efficiency.

With the plant’s constrained location on an industrial estate, flanked on three sides by roads as well as the need for it to remain fully operational at all times, the project was challenging.

The new 33m high warehouse is capable of holding 25,224 pallets (equivalent to 23 million litres of soft drinks) which if stacked on top of each other, would reach 25 miles in height.The fully automated storage and retrieval system can handle in excess of 500 pallets per hour.
