Rapid Expansion with Temporary Buildings

Instant Storage Space

Weather protection: Large temporary warehouse replacing two smaller spaces in about six weeks

Situation: Gutmann Bausysteme GmbH urgently needed more storage space. The existing two spaces were far from sufficient for their storage needs. A smaller Herchenbach temporary warehouse was already standing on their site. In addition, another unrelated company had built a warehouse for Gutmann on the site years earlier. The combined area of these two buildings was needed to be merged into one large temporary warehouse.

The new temporary warehouse, measuring over 2,000 m², is a dedicated storage facility. It provides weather protection for aluminum components.
The lightweight hall was needed as quickly as possible because the company had a significant additional storage requirement.
Precise project coordination and construction planning was essential because, after the demolition of the two old warehouses, business critical materials were need to be stored safely again as soon as possible.

Based on their previous positive experiences with Herchenbach, Gutmann Bausysteme GmbH configured a hall from Herchenbach's modular building system that best met the company's storage needs. The order was placed shortly after the personal consultation, and the new hall was accepted approximately six weeks later.

Start my project

A cold storage building constructed from sturdy aluminum profiles was erected. The walls are made of robust trapezoidal sheet metal, and the roof is constructed of high-quality industrial PVC.
With a free-spanning width of 25 m and a length of 85.34 m, Gutmann Bausysteme GmbH has 2133.5 m² of warehouse space available with a height of 5.4 m.
From the order placement to the dismantling of the old buildings and the final acceptance of the temporary warehouse, approximately six weeks passed.
Since TÜV-certified structural analyses already exist for over 500 Herchenbach warehouse types, it is possible to use the industrial warehouse as a "temporary structure" immediately for 3 to 6 months without a building permit. During this time, the responsible building authority reviews the building permit application.

The Gutmann Group specializes in high-quality aluminum products, with core segments including building systems, aluminum profiles, and specialty wires.
Its customers include automotive suppliers, the construction industry, mechanical engineering firms, and the electrical engineering sector.
Founded eight years ago, the group is now a globally operating corporation with over 1,300 employees. The company headquarters are located in Weissenburg, Franconia.
Gutmann Bausysteme GmbH specializes in modern window, door, and facade systems. Its products optimally meet diverse requirements for construction, design, and energy efficiency.

Speed played a crucial role. But the project also presented a planning challenge. The new hall was built on the site of two previously smaller halls. We implemented this very quickly because the materials from the two smaller halls needed to be stored under weather protection.

Non-insulated storage unit Safe in lightweight construction

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.

[Translate to EN:] Wandverkleidung als Trapezblech

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.

The tarpaulin doors are made of the same high-tensile-strength PVC as the roofing.
For customers seeking a warehouse solution for storing non-sensitive goods, they offer a cost-effective option. They are particularly suitable when theft protection is already in place (for example, through fencing of the premises).

Flexible construction without a foundation

The advantages of a lightweight building for this project

Herchenbach's lightweight buildings are not only quick to assemble, but also easy to dismantle without leaving any residue. This allowed for the rapid dismantling of the old, smaller warehouse. Thanks to the flexible modular system, approximately 98% of the components can be reused, making warehouse construction highly sustainable.

The modular system provides access to over 500 TÜV-certified structural analyses. Customers can directly and cost-effectively access a suitable structural analysis for spans of up to 40 meters and lengths freely selectable in two truss spacings. This saves time and money compared to commissioning individual analyses. Furthermore, the modular system typically ensures very quick delivery of the components.

Since aluminum warehouse are significantly lighter than steel buildings while maintaining high stability, they can often be erected without a foundation. For the Gutmann Bausysteme GmbH project, the existing ground was utilized. The new building was secured in a very short time using the cost-effective ground anchoring system.
