Warehousing design on show at nation-wide seminars

Designing and constructing optimised industrial buildings is the theme of a one-day seminar to be held countrywide in April. Organised by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport SA (Ciltsa), the seminars will be presented by international expert Mark Ashton, director of Ashton Smith Associates in the UK. “Three international trends are dominating the current design and construction of efficient warehouses and related infrastructure,” says Ashton. These include the emergence of separate distribution centres, determined solely by the product and storage requirements, the introduction of single envelope freezer facilities and internet shopping. The seminars will be held in Johannesburg on April 21, Durban April 22 and Cape Town April 23. Further information is available from cvlarkin@ciltsa.org.za
