Associated offers comprehensive warehouse consulting services. Whether you're constructing a new warehouse, moving to a different building or reconfiguring your current space, we have a dedicated team of consultants to help your organization squeeze every last bit of efficiency and productivity out of your warehouse investment.

Warehouse Design

Associated specializes in comprehensive solutions for industrial operations and can design and source systems for automation, racking, WMS, fleet management, order picking and all your other storage and distribution needs. Beyond systems engineering, we also offer physical warehouse plans, including CAD design of racking and automation configurations.

Warehouse Racking Layout

Local industrial real estate prices are at an all-time peak, so it's important to take advantage of storage density in every way possible. Our warehouse design group can configure highly efficient racking solutions, leveraging every cubic foot in your building while still allowing an extremely productive and high throughput facility.

Warehouse Permitting

Engaging with local regulators can quite often be a complex and baffling process, particularly when considering conformance to fire sprinkler, seismic and other code requirements. Our permitting group is accustomed to managing local code enforcement divisions and can be invaluable 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 conveyor solutions, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems, advanced order picking solutions and much more.

Mezzanine Design

Taking advantage of the vertical space in your facility using a mezzanine solution can be an intelligent and inexpensive option versus new construction or relocation. Associated's consulting team can design a range of catwalks, mezzanine systems, landings, stairs, platforms and lifts. In addition, we provide fabrication and installation services for all types of mezzanines.

Warehouse Moves

Preparing and implementing a warehouse relocation can be an overwhelming and nerve-wracking undertaking. If you're planning a relocation, sit down with Associated's consulting group to map out timing, logistics and project management.

Warehouse Racking Installation and Removal

If you're adding pallet racks, Associated's installation group can guarantee that the task is done correctly, on schedule and in accordance with all local regulations. If you're removing or replacing racks, we can also help with tear-down and disposition of your old racking system.

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 suggested, and are a must after a forklift collision or other occurrence that could jeopardize the structural integrity of your racks. Associated can conduct scheduled or unscheduled inspections, submit documentation and provide guidance on corrective action and repair.
