External Line Marking – Case Study
Learn how we created additional car parking spaces
Racking Safety Systems were asked to attend a commercial site in Wellingborough to suggest a best practice solution for the conversion of a lorry yard into a staff car park.
A online retailer had recently taken over the site and were planning to increase the number of warehouse pickers and would need to consider where the extra people would park their cars and the current car park could only hold around 60 employee cars.
The warehouse site was attended and measurements taken to allow us to start mapping out how a layout to accommodate circa 200 car park bays could be shoe horned into the concrete finished lorry yard while maintaining a safe operation
Pictures of the old lorry yard at Wellingborough site. Old car park line marking and sleepers remanded on site which needed removing before the car park bays could be installed.
Available bay space improved for parking
After reviewing the best use of space to achieve the additional parking for employees and further discussions with the client, we arrived with a layout which looked like the below which gave the end user 191 new car park bays. It also allowed enough room in the drive ways for cars to pass, reverse in and pull out of the bays
Our new external line marking plan
Proposed new car park plan at the commercial warehouse site in Wellingborough.
Costs were discussed and agreed together with start date and finish by date as they were due to start staff inductions for the 3 shift operations.
We arrived on site and promptly started to remove the unwanted yellow old lines with a heated lance. We then continued to mark out before seeking approval from on site General Manager. We then applied a primer and thermoplastic solution in the appropriate positions and the layout of the white car park started to emerge. White speed stencils, direction arrows were added along with zebra crossings and walkway.
Pictures of the new finished car park with old yellow lorry lines removed and new white arrow directional stencils, and car park bays installed.
The result was a happy client with a delivered car park brief in time for the interview and start of the new shift pattern.
