COVA has recently been engaged through Architects TRG on a warehouse expansion for Uniqlo. We have a strong mutually positive working relationship with TRG and value their recommendation of COVA to clients, particularly new clients where we can showcase our people and our work. There is plenty of upside with this client, should we exceed in delivering a great product.
The scope is to construct additional automated racking within the existing warehouse located at the MidWest Logistics Hub, 500 Doherty's Rd, Truganina VIC 3029.
In general terms the project includes the expansion of the following, as shown below/
- SRS racking (fully automated robot-controlled, high racking)
- QPS installation and platform extension (where the minimal people have their office area)
- iPack Conveyor Installation (Distribution)
Regarding Scope delineation:
- Daifuku will be responsible for the Automation Systems, including modifications to compressed air
- COVA's scope will include the Wet and Dry Fire Protection and General Lighting and Power Services.
Given the nature of the project, COVA will undertake these works in LoD 300 for all services. COVA has already completed an initial site inspection and project scoping of the existing facility, and in the process of this, identified significant non-compliance with the initial installation, primarily around wet fire life safety systems. COVA are working with the client to have the lessor rectify, at no cost to the client, to ensure compliance and more importantly a safe working environment for all the people working and visiting the premises.
Whilst not part of COVA remit for the project, this is clearly a value add to the client and true to our company value of Quality and Diligence.
