Temporary Storage Building for West Transport Derbyshire
Temporary Buildings in Northern EnglandProject Brief
West Transport approached Lauralu to create a large on-site storage facility at their base in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. Their goal was to bring off-site storage back in-house, better accommodate client stock, and reduce transport and storage costs. A non-permanent structure was preferred, with installation to be completed on an existing concrete slab without the need for major civil works.
