The design and layout of your warehouse or distribution center is fundamental to the efficiency of your overall logistics network. LDSS has key experience in government, industrial and distribution warehouse facility design, and can help your organization save time, improve space utilization and reduce costs.

For existing facilities LDSS provides analysis of current facility operations and costs, and helps to establish productivity standards.

Simulation of materials flow, storage, staffing and equipment can be performed to optimize the warehouse layout. Through further analysis our team makes recommendations in the areas of productivity management, operations systems, materials handling systems and work process standards. LDSS provides CAD facility designs for new facilities or improvements to existing operations.

For distribution facilities, configurations of racking systems, conveyors, forklifts and other key components are evaluated for their impact on the overall site plan layout, truck door spacing, column bay spacing and dock design.

For new facilities, floor slab construction is evaluated based on subgrade conditions and the types of material handling equipment for the intended use of the floor. The roofing height is planned for maximum vertical storage while meeting clear-height requirements as applicable.
