Morrisons Distribution Centre: Safe, Rapid, and Compliant Structure Delivery

Client: Morrisons Distribution Centre
Location: Swindon
Solution Provider:Complete Structures
Scope: Simultaneous parallel parking with access for 360° forklifts, all within a single-span structure measuring 25 m × 40 m (with snow loading), side access barrier, and lighting.

Overview

Morrisons distribution centres are extremely busy locations, operating 24/7 with significant vehicle and personnel movement. An additional temporary building was required, which needed to be constructed without affecting day-to-day operations. 

Project Objectives

  • Deliver the required structure safely and efficiently
  • Work to an extremely tight timescale 
  • Ensure full compliance with all health and safety standards
  • Avoid any disruption to existing operations 

Key Challenges

  • Working safely in a live operational environment 
  • Achieving 100% compliance with health and safety regulations 
  • Ensuring no negative impact on ongoing operations

Solution

Complete Structure deployed 12 technicians over 5 days to erect the required structure to the demanding standards as set by Morrisons. As of August 2025, this structure has been in daily use for over eight years.

Results

  • Zero disruption
  • 100% compliance with all health & safety standards 

  • Structure met customer needs and is still in use over 8 years later
