GSK Thermovault – Temperature Controlled Store for Hazardous Materials Case Study

The clients requirements

Mr. Donal O’Sullivan of GSK contacted Chemstore and outlined a project he was working on which required a temperature controlled unit. The project required an Insulated store for 4 pallets of product which is required to be stored at a temperature range of 10 and 25ºC and humidity control of less than 60% RH. The store was to be situated inside the loading area in the raw material stores. The pallets were 1650mm high and due to the height of the store and access limitations, the store had to be built in 2 sections on site.

Client Testimonial

GSK recently engaged Chemstore to design, supply, install and commission a RH / Temperature Controlled Storage Unit for one of its raw materials.

The performance of the Chemstore team was commendable in relation to design, safety, installation, quality & schedule. Their management & contractor’s were professional and experienced, they engaged seamlessly with GSK adopting an innovative, flexible, co-operative approach, delivering a first class installation safely to a tight schedule.

We would have no hesitation working with or recommending Chemstore for future projects.
