The compelling benefit of high-density storage is the ability to compact stored materials into a much smaller footprint space. This can result in higher load concentrations in the area where the storage system is installed.
Particularly on upper floor installations, it is important to ensure that the structural design of the building will accommodate the storage system.
McMurray Stern can provide structural evaluation services through a Licensed Structural Engineer. The engineer can determine the seismic anchoring requirements for the equipment as well as performing floor load calculations to determine if any structural reinforcement of the building is required.
