Industrial & Distribution
The provision of consulting services
to clients in the Industrial and Distribution sub-sectors forms an
important part of Scott Wilson’s overall portfolio of
services. Scott Wilson has a track record of providing
services to clients in many areas, including businesses in the oil
and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, automotive, distribution,
logistics, cold storage, food, munitions, aerospace and healthcare
sectors. These services are offered worldwide. Scott
Wilson offers an integrated support service which includes advice
in architecture, environmental and sustainability aspects, flood
risk, civil and structural engineering, infrastructure engineering,
building services, process flow development, fire engineering,
clean room technologies and specialist consultancy services (e.g.
blast, impact).
The needs of clients in the Industrial
and Distribution sub-sectors are often quite specialised,
reflecting, for example, the demands of particular processes, the
need for large column-free spaces and the need for rapid and
accurate retrieval of stored items. More specific demands can
include cleanrooms, high tolerance flat floors, secure facilities,
vibration-free areas, autoclave facilities, air quality, wipe down
surfaces, high bay racking, specialist retrieval systems, flow
management for goods and personnel, blast-proof facilities, complex
associated infrastructure and enabling works, dock levellers,
quarantine facilities and cold storage.
A key feature of the firm’s approach
is a thorough understanding of the client’s specific requirements
and processes. Scott Wilson is acutely aware of key drivers
in these sectors and addresses these head-on e.g. cost per square
metre, efficiency of space, time to market, low maintenance, cost
certainty and fire engineering. Scott Wilson is able to offer
a true one-stop shop for all of the above. Clients increasingly
focus on their environmental and health and safety credentials and
Scott Wilson is well placed to provide relevant advice e.g.
environmental impact, compliance with legislation, ecology,
sustainability, archaeology, contaminated land and flood risk.
