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 Wilmington, 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.
