the prototypical modern distribution facility

Posted by Céline on novembre 9th, 2007

According to the very interesting report issued by PROLOGIS (see previous post), France’s prototypical modern distribution facility spans at least 10,000 square meters of floorspace with ceiling heights of at least 9 metres, load-bearing floors to support at least 5 tons per m², one loading dock for every 1,000 m², and truck-turning areas of at least 35 metres.

This is the prototypical distribution facility and if the facility is also quadri-modal, it becomes the “ideal” distribution facility !!!!!!!
