Three-aisled lightweight warehouse
Agricultural supplier needs logistics hub
The insulated outer walls make the building suitable for order picking.
As a specialist in agricultural supplies, Werny GmbH & Co. KG offers a wide range of products and services, including the development of complete barn equipment for dairy and rearing farms. However, the sale of feed barriers and partitions has become increasingly important, with local pickup and online shipping becoming more prevalent. To ensure availability and maintain fast delivery, the company needed more storage space.
Company owner Friedhelm Werny quickly abandoned his initial plan to build an outdoor racking system. "I would have been very inflexible with a covered racking system," he says. He had picked up a Herchenbach brochure at a trade fair, and upon reviewing it again, he realized: a lightweight building would allow him to implement a professional warehouse solution quickly and cost-effectively.
Werny opted for the insulated Therm+ hall. Three bays are connected to form one large structure. According to the now-expanded plans, one of the halls will also be used for picking temperature-sensitive goods. When work is carried out in a hall for extended periods, as in this case, higher temperatures must be maintained even in winter than in a simple storage building. The insulating properties of the insulated roof membrane, in combination with the inner membrane, significantly reduce the energy required to heat the hall.
Looking at Herchenbach's price examples, I realized that for that price, a steel building isn't even worth considering. Furthermore, the depreciation allowances for a mobile building are significantly more favorable than for a permanent, solid building.
What impressed us most was the construction time of 14 days for all three halls. The installers had announced it would take that long, but nobody expected them to actually stick to it. And then everything was finished after just two weeks. That was simply fantastic.
