Case Studies

No two projects are ever the same, which allows for you to challenge our design and engineering team. This process not only finds (or creates) products that suit your needs, but also assist in creating a working environment that refreshes and energises all employees within. Here are some recent examples of projects undertaken by APC for its customers.

To find out more about any projects, or view more past projects, please contact us.

State Archive Centre

APC partnered with a state archive centre in New South Wales to design and deliver a fully customised shelving solution for the long-term preservation of irreplaceable historical records, maps and documents. The project was completed on time and without disruption to the facility’s operations.

Sydney-Based IT Company

APC partnered with a Sydney-based IT company to engineer innovative mobile shelving solutions, enabling their North Shore location to eliminate overflow warehouse costs while increasing storage density by 57% in the same footprint.

Heinz Watties New Zealand

The 2011 Christchurch earthquake underscored the importance of designing industrial racking systems that can withstand extreme conditions. For Kraft Heinz, the resilience of the APC Storage Technology Radioshuttle system highlighted the benefits of investing in a high quality racking system. It also highlighted the importance of designing racking structures that are fully compliant with the relative building and design codes.

Custom Steel Fabrication

APC received a request to design, engineer, fabricate, and install an outdoor steel platform structure with a gantry portal frame. The final design would allow the client to move and lower a testing probe into a 3.5m diameter x 3.18m high test tank. This would allow the client to lift a sensor via a hoist and lower it into the tank and conduct assay testing under water.

Schenck Process Australia

Schenck provides material process technologies across multiple industries and its activities demand functional warehousing support infrastructure. Following a detailed Supplier Evaluation Process, APC was selected to design the new Schenck Supercentre with APC local manufacturing and engineering support ranking high in the evaluation criteria.

Coolpak Coolstores

Coolpak required a Satellite Racking solution for a total of 11 freezer and chiller rooms in its new facility to accommodate more than 30,000 pallets. The racking had to be engineered to the stringent seismic conditions of the Christchurch area.

CSBP Wesfarmers New Automated Warehouse in Kwinana

CSBP, its subsidiaries, and joint ventures form the Chemicals and Fertilisers business units of Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy & Fertilisers, part of Wesfarmers Limited’s Industrials division.

CSBP required a storage solution to store a variety of items in a new automated warehouse in Kwinana. Strict project deliverables included MDR’s, ITP’s, QA/QC Data, Detailed design and structural engineering certification.

ATCO Gas Project

In Western Australia, ATCO owns and maintains the major natural gas distribution network. Along with an ongoing focus on ensuring the safety, security and affordability of natural gas, ATCO continues to innovate and investigate the additional value it can provide to Australia into the future. ATCO required a storage solution to store a variety of items – ranging from large generators to brass fittings – following redevelopment of ATCO’s facilities. APC was awarded a tender for the project for presenting an original design suited to ATCO’s storage requirements.

Illawarra Smallgoods Project

Meat producers, Illawarra Smallgoods in NSW required a high-density storage solution to house packaging materials. APC was selected for the job for identifying a high density storage solution that suited the client’s exact requirements.
