The Project
We were engaged by our client to construct and install self-storage units and associated features including floor decking, partitioning and self-storage unit door latches for their new self-storage facility.
Our Client
This project was undertaken for Shurgard Self-Storage at their facility in Croydon. Shurgard are the largest provider of self-storage in Europe.
What We Did
Shurgard approached USS with an enquiry for the construction of self-storage units at their new facility in Croydon.
Each stage of the project was planned meticulously from the beginning. We were sent the architect’s drawings from which we prepared our own drawings for the design and manufacture of the self-storage unit components. Our quote was accepted by our client and the manufacture and installation works began.
The self-storage unit construction included partitioning, a combination of swing and roller shutter doors and latches to fit the client’s own bullet locks all to match our client’s branding.
Shurgard is proud to be able to provide self-storage units in varying sizes to suit the specific needs of their customers. Consequently, the 1140 units we installed across four floors, including at ground floor level, were a mixture of sizes. We also supplied and installed decking as per client requirements to complete each floor level and to suit the overall building design.
And Finally
Because of the strict timetable of works and the phased approach to completion of the individual levels, the project was designed to deliver a split store opening. By doing this, Shurgard were able to open the lower levels for business while the upper levels were undergoing completion.
A business-efficient approach to planning, with conscientious project management at all stages, meant this project was not only delivered on time but allowed our client to get on with the business of providing their services ahead of the final completion date which included a partial opening of the facility.
