Creating a Secure Quarantine Storage Area for a Hearing Aid Manufacturer

The Challenge

Our client was struggling to find a designated quarantine storage zone to keep hearing aid products that only authorised personnel would be able to access. Without a dedicated area clearly separated from the rest of their facility it was difficult for them to keep track of who could access and handle these products which is why they needed a suitable space that was appropriately enclosed but also that authorised personnel would be able to access as required.

The facility’s raised tiled floor was another aspect that had to be carefully considered when creating such a space because it meant the stability of the posts could be compromised. Thankfully the Accessafe team rose to the challenge and completed the installation safely.

The Solution: Creating a Secure Quarantine Storage Area for Our Client

Our team created a secure quarantine area for our client to safely store products by installing a partitioning system using 1900mm Penta mesh panels alongside 2020mm high Meta welded posts. They also installed a single hinged door with key-controlled access to make sure authorised personnel would be able to access the zone.

The raised tiled floor presented a challenge since it could potentially compromise the stability of the partition posts as this type of flooring doesn’t typically provide the same solid fixing surface as concrete flooring would, for example. As a way to rectify this the Accessafe team installed supporting plates underneath the raised floor to create more stable fixing points for the system and give the bolt-down posts the necessary rigidity.

Despite the additional considerations that needed taking into account our team was able to complete the installation in just 3 hours.

The Results

Thanks to the newly installed partitioning the client now has a clearly defined quarantine storage area where they can store and separate hearing aid products safely while allowing for authorised staff to access the goods using the key-controlled access point.

By adapting the system to the unique requirements of the facility including the raised tiled floor, our team was able to provide the client with a secure and efficient quarantine zone for storage where hearing aid products can now be safely kept.
