Weatherproof storage of aggregate materials is a core requirement for any aggregate business as well as for a range of other operations in a wide array of industries, including recycling, construction, mining, and more.

Although piling up aggregate materials outdoors without adequate cover is an option that a considerable number of businesses opt for, this contributes significantly toward increased costs, damage, and losses down the line—hampering both productivity and returns. This could also pose safety hazards and risks to staff in some instances.

In the past, finding reliable and secure aggregate storage bays that can withstand any adverse weather conditions, hold materials securely and safely, relocate and offer flexible storage across multiple locations and sites, as well as provide rapid assembly and re-deployability was a major challenge in itself.

However, with the advent of modular storage shelters UK businesses could conveniently deploy structures for storing aggregates, and the lack of secure storage space is no longer a problem that hinders the efficiency of modern aggregate operations.

OPUS by McGregor Structures is an industry-leading modular aggregate storage bay that conveniently assembles on a base of interlocking Legato blocks for convenience, speed, and secure material storage. Read on to discover the many benefits of deploying these structures in businesses.

What are the benefits of modular material storage shelters UK businesses have?

Opting for modular storage bays for aggregate material storage can offer a whole host of advantages to boost the efficiency of any business, especially in comparison to the unsheltered holding of materials or the use of permanent and fixed buildings for the same purpose.

Here are the main ways that OPUS and similar modular material storage shelters UK providers offer in the market can skyrocket efficiency in aggregate businesses:

Reduced losses due to damaged and unrecoverable materials

Businesses that deal with aggregate materials, such as cement and fuel, as well as recycling businesses that mainly deal with paper and cardboard can be prone to catastrophic losses due to adverse weather conditions. Rain, snow, and heavy wind loads can damage stocks significantly if there is a lack of shelter—this further racks up costs by rendering entire batches unrecoverable.

Enhanced savings in transportation and handling costs of dry materials

A reliable storage bay that provides shelter and protection for materials against the elements not only prevents damage from exposure to sun and rain but also saves costs during handling and transportation by avoiding issues such as water logging of materials, which would otherwise drive up costs by making materials heavier and costlier to transport, and more difficult to handle.

Elevated safety and more organised sites that boost productivity

Organising sites in ways that optimise productivity is significantly easier with the incorporation of modular aggregate storage bays as setups can be tailored with individual bays to store specific materials as well as make the best use of the space available. Safety can also be maximised around the site as loose materials will be within an enclosed space with dedicated access.

Optimised flexibility through portability and ease of redeployment

The primary advantage of utilising modular material storage bays over traditional buildings is the ease of disassembly, portability, and reassembly offered. This allows them to be moved to the most optimal locations within the site in line with any changes. Thereby, aggregate and recycling businesses can have relocatable shelters across multiple sites for unmatched flexibility.
