Technical Inquiry: Q&A
Question
"Do liquidated structures from pallet racking auctions automatically comply with current municipal high-pile storage codes upon re-installation in Durham, NC?"
Matt Handler Director of Warehouse Storage Design
No. Legacy steel procured via liquidation must undergo a comprehensive secondary engineering review. The architecture must be re-certified to match modern seismic base shear mandates, current flue space requirements, and updated concrete slab point-load tolerances before local authorities will issue operational permits.
