Associated provides turnkey warehouse consulting services. Whether you're constructing a new warehouse, moving to an alternate building or restructuring your existing location, we have a team of consultants dedicated to helping you maximize your warehouse investment through efficiency and productivity gains.

Warehouse Design

Associated prides itself on comprehensive solutions for industrial operations and designs and specifies systems for automation, racking, WMS, fleet management, order picking and all your other storage and distribution needs. Beyond systems planning, we also offer physical warehouse plans, including CAD design of racking and automation configurations.

Warehouse Racking Layout

Local storage and distribution space costs are at an all-time premium, so it's vital to maximize storage density by every means at your disposal. Associated's storage design team can devise tightly packed racking systems, taking advantage of every cubic foot in your space while still allowing an extremely productive and high volume operation.

Warehouse Permitting

Engaging with county or city regulators can sometimes be a confusing and frustrating process, particularly when it comes to compliance with fire sprinkler, seismic and other code requirements. Our permitting group is proficient in dealing with local inspectors and can be a real asset in your navigation through the permitting and inspection process.

Automation Engineering

When it comes to warehouse automation, Associated offers one of the best engineering teams in the Western US. We design and build AS/RS solutions, conveyor systems, sophisticated order picking solutions, AGVs and much more.

Mezzanine Design

Taking advantage of the vertical space in your building with a mezzanine system can be a smart and inexpensive alternative to moving or building out new space. Associated's consulting team can plan a variety of mezzanine systems, catwalks, stairs, landings, platforms and lifts. In addition, we offer installation and fabrication services for any type of industrial platform or mezzanine.

Warehouse Moves

Planning and completing an industrial move can be an overwhelming and nerve-wracking undertaking. If you're considering a move, sit down with Associated's consulting team to map out timing, logistics and project management.

Warehouse Racking Installation and Removal

When you add racking, Associated's installation team can make sure the task is completed properly, on schedule and in accordance with all local code requirements. If you're removing or replacing racks, we can also assist with tear-down and disposition of your old racks.

Racking Inspection

Per the recommendations of the Rack Manufacturers Institute, your racking should be inspected once a year at the very least. Quarterly or semi-annual inspections are advisable, and are a must after a lift truck collision or other incident that could impair the safety of your racks. Associated can manage scheduled or unscheduled inspections, provide documentation and provide guidance on remediation and repair.
