CASE STUDY
STREAMLINING SAFETY AND STORAGE FOR A LITHIUM-ION BATTERY SUPPLIER
Overview
Location: Commerce, CA
Customer Industry: Li-Ion Battery Supplier
SUMMARY
Scope of Work
Selective Racking
In-Rack Sprinklers
Fire Barriers
Additionally, we managed the high-piled storage (HPS) permit process, ensuring compliance with safety regulations for high-hazard commodities such as lithium-ion batteries
Challenges and Solutions
One of the key challenges was obtaining the HPS permit, which involved a complex approval process due to the high hazard classification of lithium-ion batteries.
The Challenge: The permit process required three months of back-and-forth coordination with the fire department. Pressure was mounting as the customer was eager for approvals to proceed.
Our Solution: Partnering with an expert consultant, we efficiently navigated the plan check process. His expertise provided confidence and clarity, ensuring the fire department's requirements were addressed promptly.
Once the HPS permit was approved, we seamlessly collaborated with the sprinkler vendor, completing the racking system and in-rack sprinkler installation without delays.
Outcome
A fully operational warehouse tailored to the unique requirements of a high-hazard commodity.
Enhanced safety measures with in-rack sprinklers and fire barriers.
A valuable project learning for future storage solutions involving lithium-ion batteries.
