Quarantine Areas with Mesh Doors and Partitioning for Norbrook Laboratories
Transforming Open Racking into Secure Quarantine Areas
Norbrook Laboratories, a leading veterinary group, needed two designated quarantine bays within their storage facility. They sought a solution to convert their existing pallet racking into secure quarantine areas for isolated storage, along with the ability to temporarily store additional pallets when needed. The setup required flexibility without compromising accessibility or disrupting normal operations.
Â

The Solution
OfficeSTOR implemented a tailored solution combining mesh doors for individual pallet racking bays with perimeter mesh partitioning to secure the entire quarantine area.
Key elements of the solution included:
- Individual Pallet Security with Mesh Doors: OfficeSTOR fitted standard 1600mm high by 2700mm wide mesh doors onto Norbrook Laboratories’ existing rack uprights, enclosing each pallet bay individually. These doors prevented unauthorized access and did not protrude into the bay area, allowing seamless storage of pallets.
- Full-Area Protection with Mesh Partitioning: Mesh partitioning was installed around the perimeter of the racking bays, creating an additional secure layer for the quarantine area. This allowed Norbrook Laboratories to store extra pallets temporarily within the quarantine area, knowing that they remained secure.
- Optimized Beam Levels: Beam levels were lowered to match the new door dimensions, creating a secure top stop for each gate and preventing tampering from above.
- Enhanced Security Features: Each door was fitted with double hasps, allowing Norbrook Laboratories to use their own padlocks, providing a reliable and client-tailored locking solution.
- Side and Back Security: Standard mesh panels (1500mm high by 1000mm wide) were fixed to the sides and backs of the racking bays, ensuring full enclosure and deterring unauthorized access from all angles.

Efficient Installation Process:
OfficeSTOR coordinated delivery of the gates and mesh panels in advance, and the installation was completed the following day with minimal disruption. The setup was fully operational within hours, allowing Norbrook Laboratories to secure their quarantine areas quickly and efficiently.
