Temporary storage tents Volvo Group
Challenge
The first electric lorry produced in Belgium rolled off the production line at Volvo Group in Ghent. A first! Production was gradually increased in the months that followed.
For the spare parts required for this new production Volvo needed extra storage space. In anticipation of the construction of a new warehouse, Volvo Group called on Veldeman for temporary storage tents.
Solution
We built the first SOLID hall measuring 40m wide and 60m long. Two additional SOLID halls followed a few months later, measuring 15m by 60m and 30m by 40m. With a side wall height of 6m, the halls offer plenty of stacking space. The side walls consist of single-walled profiled steel sheet. The roof is fitted using high-quality translucent fabric to take advantage of natural daylight. As for access, in total 9 doors and 9 electric roller gates were installed. In addition, Veldeman provided this total solution with energy-efficient LED lighting and safety features such as emergency lighting, emergency signs and fire extinguishers.
The temporary storage tents will be used for a minimum period of 2 years.
