Industrial & Distribution

The provision of consulting services to clients in the Industrial and Distribution 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 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, BREEAM, archaeology, contaminated land and flood risk.
