Warehouses and storage facilities are historically one of the key built environments, attracting significant new constructions to cater for increasing demands from urban population growth, consumers’ change of behaviour and innovative goods and services fulfilments. Newly constructed warehouses are larger, taller and more flexible than ever built before. In addition, as the level of warehousing automation increases, very high rack configurations and very narrow aisles become possible thus further maximising total storage volume on the same footprint. On the other hand, business continuity is paramount to deliver promised high levels of service for all logistics distribution centres and for high-value manufacturing processes to ensure Just-in-Time (JIT) production and delivery. Such facilities can be designed to the prescriptive codes with added detection and protection based on a risk assessment (Risk-based Design), thus applying appropriate system design to these targeted risk areas.
