Polypipe Building Products have recently completed a gigantic 16-month project to overhaul the design of the yard at our Broomhouse Lane, Head Office site in Doncaster.
Managed by Divisional Distribution Manager Mark Walker, the project took up thousands of man hours, involved over 10 different contractors and overall took a lot of blood sweat and tears, but we could not be happier with the result.
The new yard incorporates a one-way system and brand-new outside racking, providing a more efficient system and a safer working environment for all our employees.
Here are some comparisons of the changes that have been made.
Old racking storage system
New racking being installed
New racking area complete
Previous loading areas (6 bays stacked) Vs. New loading areas (9 bays evenly spaced)
Old congested single roadway for both FLT and HGV use
New separate roadways for FLT and HGV to reduce congestion
New one-way road access to the loading bays
