New logistics centre doubles storage capacity

Schloemer GmbH, a subsidiary of the Haberkorn Group since 2020, has established itself as one of Germany's leading specialists in occupational safety and industrial technology in its more than 120-year history. The company is distinguished by its Europe-wide system supply and serves over 5,000 customers as a service dealer. In order to strengthen the Haberkorn Group's high-performance network of logistics locations, the space at the Recklinghausen site is being expanded by 13,000 m². By 2026, a logistics centre up to 20 metres high will be built here, which will house central warehousing, product range management, a workshop for hose technology and a textile workshop.

Prefabricated component assembly saves time and money

In order to keep to the tight schedule, the shell will be constructed using prefabricated elements. The Group's sister companies CMG Gesellschaft für Baulogistik and PORR Equipment Services (PES) are on board to ensure the smooth supply of containers, formwork, machinery and equipment.

The construction pit is secured in some areas with soldier pile shoring and the subsoil is additionally reinforced with micropiles in places. To ensure the stability of the adjacent high-bay storage facilities, the existing foundation must be partially underpinned. Due to the high groundwater level, open dewatering is essential during construction work. The underground areas of the shell itself are being constructed as waterproof concrete structures. As a special feature, a sprinkler tank of approx. 2,200 m3 is being constructed in situ using concrete as a waterproof structure in one section of the underground area.
