Due to space pressures caused by the A400M work, Aerosud had to expand its
production and storage area.
The solution was a complete new workshop and storage facility called
Building 8.
It consists of a double volume area of 240m2, and 9m high. This will be the
new sheet store. It will utilise a high tech moving rack system from
Schaefer, with a Hubtex picker from Goscor. It will provide a total of 430
sheet storage bays. The rest of the building is a double story, area per
floor roughly 840m2. The bottom floor will house the machining facility, as
well as the tooling and maintenance workshops.
The top floor will be our new part blanking facility, and will house 3 sheet
metal routers, deburring, 2 waterjet machines and 2 panel routers.
Commencement of construction was October 2104, and completion is 30 June
2015. Total cost around R20M.
