Racking Inspection

ALMACENO, with its own engineering, ensures safety in shelving through the application and compliance with earthquake-resistant design and manufacturing standards, supported by calculation reports. However, shelving can also be obtained in the market that, although guaranteeing the capacity of requested loads, lack engineering support and have unregulated manufacturing and quality control processes. This fact poses risks of structural collapse due to the lack of knowledge of design criteria, manufacturing processes, and raw materials used in the production of elements.

To prevent the collapse of storage structures and operate them safely and reliably, it is necessary to carry out periodic inspections and diagnostics. During these, the risk-generating factors can be identified and mitigated, in addition to implementing necessary corrective measures to ensure all elements are in optimal condition. In some cases, it is necessary to redesign the shelving and conduct laboratory tests to determine the load capacities of installed elements; ALMACENO has its own laboratory for load testing under the RMI-2010 standard. The purpose of the inspection and diagnostic service is not only to identify damages in the shelving; its scope includes mitigating the occurrence of these through training for administrative and operational personnel to implement good operating practices.
