The petroleum company's warehouse in the United Arab Emirates with Mecalux racks

March 2, 2020

Teamwork leads to success. Gemco International, an engineering and contracting firm which is in the turnkey projects business, and Interlake Mecalux, a leading storage solutions multinational, have designed a modern 24,972 ft2 logistics center for the Upper Zakum Offshore Oil Field Development Project in the United Arab Emirates. The logistics center consists of selective pallet racks and a multilevel shelving system for picking with walkways. Both systems stand out for their product accessibility, which enhances goods handling and order processing.

Interlake Mecalux has set up 36' high selective pallet racks, with nine storage levels that occupy almost the entire warehouse surface area. This solution offers direct access to the pallets, which is essential for speeding up storage and order fulfillment tasks. Moreover, reserve products for the pick shelves are deposited in these pallet racks.

Order processing is one of the operations of the oil company. For this reason, a warehousing area has been set aside for this work, with 23' high shelving for picking with walkways. The shelves have been divided into three floors, tripling the useful storage area.

On each level, operators walk up and down the aisles collecting the products for each order directly from the shelves. They follow the order grouping method, which involves putting together several orders simultaneously along the same route.
