Warehouse for Degotte

Weather protection for material storage

Expert for modular space solutions relies on hall from Herchenbach

Degotte is an expert in flexible buildings. The company, with locations in Belgium and Luxembourg, specializes in modular buildings and offers space solutions for schools and government offices, as well as supermarket chains and the medical sector. Based on a standardized container construction method, Degotte develops customized, even multi-story, solutions that perfectly meet the individual space requirements of its clients. And their clients appreciate this.

Due to consistent market growth, Degotte had to adjust its production capacity. "The customer urgently needed to expand its storage capacity," explains Suzy Kameni, the project manager. To continue offering its customers the same high-quality service, the company quickly required additional warehouse space in the Liège region. Degotte opted for a lightweight, modular building from Herchenbach at its site in Herstal, Belgium.

  • Flexible modular system: A 20 x 15 m hall with a height of 4.4 m was built. This provides Degotte with an additional 300 m² of storage space.
  • Affordable weather protection: Since the material only needs to be stored in a weather-protected environment and is not sensitive to temperature, the company opted for the cost-effective Safe+ cold storage facility.
  • Fast delivery: From order placement to handover of the keys, only five weeks passed. The actual assembly of a 1000 m² lightweight hall from Herchenbach takes just under a week.

Lightweight cold storage building

Whether for material storage, logistics, vehicle shelter, or hangar: the Safe+ lightweight building is versatile. The company Degotte uses the unheated building to store materials for its mobile buildings in a weatherproof and theft-proof manner. The large opening, which can be closed with a sliding gate, allows for easy access to the building.

Lightweight hall of Herchenbach
  • Herchenbach combines innovative, customer-oriented processes with a tradition of around 100 years in hall construction. Customers benefit from the expertise gained from thousands of lightweight hall projects for industry.
  • The flexible modular system allows for free-spanning widths of up to 40 m and heights of up to 6.4 m with a hall length optimally tailored to customer needs.
  • The lightweight warehouses are offered as cost-effective unheated halls with trapezoidal sheet metal walls and as insulated halls. Walls made of insulated panels offer excellent thermal transmittance values.
  • In many cases, a cost-effective ground anchoring system is possible. This saves construction time and foundation costs.

 

Degotte
  • Degotte is a specialist in modular construction with locations in Belgium and Luxembourg. The company's clients include large corporations as well as schools, supermarket chains, and medical providers.
  • With 500 prefabricated, individually customizable modules, Degotte precisely meets the individual requirements of its customers. Each product can be easily integrated into another building, is very robust, and easy to transport.
  • From the design phase to the manufacturing phase and handover, the entire operational process takes place at the Hauts-Sarts site in Herstal (Liège). Quality control is carried out in the factory. Degotte can fully control the entire modular construction process and deliver high-quality goods.
The building and its fittings were adapted to the specific characteristics of the site without compromising its quality or limiting its potential uses. We were able to quickly meet the client's needs. Just five weeks elapsed between the site inspection, the technical clarifications, and the delivery of the building.

Safe+
  • With a frame made of durable aluminum profiles and a textile roof of high-quality industrial PVC, the cold storage building is the ideal storage solution for temperature-insensitive goods.
  • The Herchenbach modular system allows for unsupported widths of up to 40 m. The building length is flexibly configured to meet customer requirements.

Trapezoidal sheet metal
  • Trapezoidal sheet metal wall cladding is durable and cost-effective. It is offered in white aluminum as standard, but can be supplied in various RAL colors upon request.
  • Trapezoidal sheet metal is not only low-maintenance, but individual panels can also be easily replaced if damaged.

Sliding gate
  • The sliding doors are made from the same trapezoidal sheet metal as the warehouse. They offer customers a simple and easy-to-install door solution for storing temperature-insensitive goods.
  • To open, the door slides parallel to the warehouse wall. This not only saves space but, thanks to the guide rail mounted at the top, also ensures barrier-free access. Wide openings are possible.

Safety through pre-assembly inspection

Additional services can be flexibly added to the "full-service package".

We faced several challenges. A sloping site, pull-out test results indicating difficult anchoring, and a long side that was only accessible on one side,” says the project manager. The company was impressed not only by the flexible product, which could be precisely adapted to the warehouse's needs, but also by Herchenbach's specialization in industrial buildings and their fast, customer-focused service.

Degotte added the pre-assembly inspection to their full-service package. This provides the customer with assurance that the ground is suitable for the cost-effective ground anchoring system. Ground anchoring saves approximately €100,000 and four weeks of construction time because no foundation needs to be poured. "We were able to quickly meet the customer's needs," says Suzy Kameni.

During the planning phase, it also became apparent that the slope needed to be leveled. The aluminum profiles used can be easily adapted to the local conditions by shortening them. Any unused material can be completely recycled. If the building is no longer needed at this location, the individual components are also almost 100% reusable. This aligns perfectly with a company like Degotte, for whom sustainability and environmental awareness are paramount.
