the main features that should have a logistics platform in terms of size, structure, lighting, sustainability, fire protection and premises for storage in cold and chemicals.
When renting a logistics platform or start a turnkey project with developers, logistics operators establish a series of premises that the property must meet to develop with maximum effectiveness logistics customers.

While the characteristics required of the ship or platform will obviously vary depending on the type of activity, operations being performed and the volume of goods to be handled at the facility, the parameters that are looking for an operator for its facilities, give a general idea of the properties must meet a logistical surface.

First, on any platform that price, the perimeter fence must be consistent to ensure security, which also has to include a CCTV while the entrance doors must be monitored.

In the docking area of trucks

minimum distances between the facades of the ship and the perimeter fence must be respected, especially when the flow of trucks is intense. If the springs are located perpendicular to the front, the distance must be between 30 and 35 meters, to allow a vehicle docked, another circulating and another parked waiting, while the springs herringbone or diagonal should have about 25 meters.

The distances between the front and rear of the ship must be between 100 and 150 meters, combining productivity tours and regulations for evacuation.
Also, the turning radius at the corners should have a minimum of 10 meters to allow the safety and visibility of drivers.

Standardization in the docking area will facilitate the work trucks maneuvering carriers. In this area, a spring 1000 m² and a wheelbase of 5.5 meters springs ensure productivity. There is also here a number of facilities, although they can pass almost unnoticed, are especially important, as are the pathways that allow enfilar the vehicle, traffic lights on the docks and holes below these that guarantee a good coupling of the truck, between other solutions.

Inside the ship

As regards headroom inside the ship, operators prefer allowing maximum current equipment and restrictions that make fire regulations. Thus, a ship with an interior height of over 12 meters will require several levels of sprinklers, which will mean more investment and constructive complexity and maintenance level may not compensate.

discharge system
It is desirable that at least 10% of the cover corresponds to skylights or transparent exutorios.
The distances between the front and rear of the ship must be between 100 and 150 meters, combining productivity tours and regulations for evacuation.

Another feature is valued is the composition of the hearth, not only as to the strength thereof before passing vehicles, but also in relation to the expansion joints, as this is a crucial aspect maintenance or deterioration.

The lighting in a logistics center should be focused on efficiency.
As for the structure of the building, there is no clear preference between concrete or metal structure, although it is true that the latter require a review to verify that it meets the required fire resistance. The important thing is that the structure conforms to standard shelves and to optimize storage.

To external conditions

In a logistics platform, the cover must be insulated to ensure, to the external conditions, both maintenance of the goods as personal comfort.

Currently, there are two storm evacuation systems most used: the traditional gravity and siphon system or ‘Fullflow’. In the first, it should be no downspouts inside the ship and install a system gargoyles avoid flooding, while the siphon must be well dimensioned with respect to the level of rainfall in the area and have a good system maintenance and cleaning.

The importance of lighting

Either through natural or artificial light, lighting a logistics center it should be focused on efficiency. It is desirable that at least 10% of the cover corresponds to skylights or transparent exutorios, with special attention to the material from them as little as possible to degrade over time.

For environmental reasons, artificial lighting should be increasingly ecological. For this there are several solutions, such as automation on or off depending on whether the system detects a person working in the area to be illuminated, or self-regulation of the intensity according to the brightness level of the area.

And, on the road to sustainability, the main goal is to reduce consumption, which is achieved, in addition to an efficient lighting, with chargers high frequency equipment and good maintenance of electrical installations for avoid causing excessive consumption inefficiencies.

Fire protection

The system of fire protection of a logistics warehouse consists of three elements: detection systems, control systems and extinguishing media, such as fire extinguishers, sprinklers cover and intermediate levels of shelves when the merchandise it requires.

natural lighting
The lighting in a logistics center should be focused on efficiency.
The ‘sprinklers’ or sprinklers inside the ship, must be located at least one meter of the goods to cover extinction. Another key element is the drainpipes, skylights that, either automatically or by manual activation of the fire, the temperature control of the property and allow the evacuation of fumes in case of fire.

refrigeration and APQ

In a logistic platform is a varied type of facility, picking systems, storage, balers, etc., but there are two that are directly related to the structure of the ship: cold stores and warehouses APQ, which are handled the chemical products.

The space devoted to chemicals has special regulations and, therefore, a number of special features. Therein a bund, that it prevents the leakage of liquids and gases in the remaining area a forced air system to an accumulation of gases and fire extinguishing system dimensioned that the number of ‘sprinkles’ to rest is located platform.

As regards the interior of the ship headroom, operators prefer allowing maximum current equipment, according to the restrictions of fire regulations.
As for industrial refrigeration facilities, there are various features and are directly related to the temperature range that the product needs. Thus, there are stores -22 ° C for deep frozen, between 4 and 5 ° C for dairy and meat, between 14 and 18 ° C, for a larger number of products, and between 18 and 25 ° C, the temperature being is to which must necessarily be stored pharmaceuticals.

Finally, when sizing the required offices in a logistics ship, there is usually a defined standard, although it seeks to adapt the space for the number of people who go to work in offices, so they can do it comfortably, but without unnecessary oversizing that only serve to penalize the cost of renting the property.
