VELFAC strive to create an effective partnership which results in accurate and on time deliveries suited specifically to each project.
Planning & packing
Delivery schedule
A delivery schedule aims to keep on-site storage to a minimum, further reducing the risk of damage or theft. The sequencing and delivery of finished elements is agreed before the manufacturing date is confirmed.
Packing or scheduling arrangements can be made - floor by floor for example, or phase by phase - but this must be confirmed before manufacturing begins.
Packing
Units are always packed with the longest side resting on the pallet with the weight distributed evenly. This is to provide an even pressure on the pallet ensuring that the pallet will not lean when being lifted.
- MDF and/or wooden slats are used to brace the windows.
- Edge protection is provided for the outermost units, and transparent protective corners are mounted on all units on the pallet in order to prevent friction damage during transit.
- Pallets are wrapped in a clear protective film, wrapped from the base upwards to prevent the ingress of moisture.
- A double layer of film covers the top of the pallet: this layer protects against dust only, it is not intended to be fully waterproof.
