In older buildings, there might be both seen and unforeseen issues with the floor slab. Specifically, there could be cracks in the concrete or pieces missing from the floor. These can pose a challenge to your rack design.
If you're only anchoring in a few bays, you can choose a floor location in good condition. However, when you require multiple aisles, it's important to get an engineer on board to ensure that you aren't anchoring on or adjacent to a compromised area. In some cases, your rack design will require a design review to account for any seismic forces present. If your facility is located in Seismic Design Category B and above , it faces the potential of earthquakes to varying degrees.
While the degrees, magnitude, and probability of such seismic activity will vary, it's critical to perform a design check for your particular loading check.
If your facility is located in SDC A, there is not enough seismic activity present to warrant such a check. Note that seismic requirements are site-specific and your rack manufacturer should understand the following data points before beginning a rack installation:. Inspection and Maintenance. As soon as the installation is complete, it's important to develop processes and procedures for regularly scheduled storage rack system inspection and maintenance.
A qualified person who is intimately familiar with the rack design and installation requirements should perform these inspections. Due to their frequency of use, your storage racks should be inspected on a periodical basis to check for any signs of damage or wear and tear. An inspection should also follow immediately after any event that could possibly damage the rack system. Individual owners can set their own inspection schedule based on their system use conditions. While inspections should be performed at least once a year, greater frequency is encouraged.
Make sure to fully document the inspection schedule and all results. Ideally, any rack anchoring system should be inspected by a professional engineer. This is especially the case if you make any repairs or changes to your rack storage system. If you're anchoring to any surface other than concrete, an engineer must be involved to ensure the floor system can support the rack load columns. While the rack manufacturer can also provide these important details, an engineer can ensure that your final design meets industry specifications.
When researching rack manufacturers, look for those with the R-Mark seal from RMI on published capacity charts to ensure the product is in accordance with RMI specifications.
