Bruynzeel Storage Systems has fitted the BBC’s new, purpose-built media Archive in North-West London with a series of two level high-density storage systems.
The BBC’s new, purpose-built media Archive in Perivale, North West London with a series of two-level high-density storage systems.Designed as 12-vaults to house the Corporation’s precious stock of archive material, the Archive will hold a total of 3.7-million items.
Bruynzeel undertook the complete turnkey operation, including the installation of 3.9 metre-high mezzanine floors, more than 5 kilometres of rails for the mobile carriages, together with 4500 sq.m of infill-flooring on the ground-floor, and a similar quantity of steel mesh decking on the mezzanine level.
With more than 85,000 shelves, the building provides 100-kilometres of linear shelf capacity.
Bruynzeel’s Compactus range is designed to optimise the storage capacity of any given area.
Consisting of shelving units mounted on mobile carriages that run on floor rails, it reduces the footprint of a storage system by having only one “floating” aisle instead of a series of fixed aisles.
