UK-based OSS Ltd complete substantial turnkey project in the Middle East

February 24th, 2012

Office Storage Solutions (OSS) recently completed a large mobile shelving project for one of the world’s largest corporations, at their new, purpose-built offices in Kuwait. It involved installing three Mobile Storage systems, which together provide more than 1,200 linear metres of state-of-the-art mobile storage.

Site of the installation in Kuwait
 

OSS Director Phil Jarvis commented: “We’re extremely proud to have won the contract against strong competition from local and other overseas suppliers. Competitive-pricing and our ability to provide a turnkey solution were paramount.”

“However, I believe that our proven track record of success for corporates here in the UK and in other EC countries was the deciding factor. When a client does business with OSS, they can be certain that their installation will be completed in an ultra-professional manner, on time and to the agreed budget.”

Delivering the goods

The components for the Kuwait installation were packed into containers in the UK and sent to Kuwait City by sea. OSS managed the shipment from start to finish, including the complex documentation and import declarations on arrival at the port.

Installing the solution

A team of experienced OSS fitters was flown out to install the systems. They completed the task within the agreed two-week window, which was quite an achievement when you consider the installation provides over 1,200 linear metres of storage.

Comprehensive after sales support

Unlike many of their competitors in this niche yet extremely competitive office storage market sector, OSS can provide a total solution. “Even though our high quality systems don’t require much in the way of maintenance, wear and tear is an inescapable fact of life,” continues Phil.

“In the UK and throughout the rest of Europe, our own service teams maintain client systems. In Kuwait, that was impractical. So we trained the client’s on-site team and saw to it that they had all the spares they would need for the foreseeable future.”

If you have a storage project anywhere in the world, don’t hesitate to contact OSS. You can rest assured that you’ll get a keen quotation and that the end result will exceed your expectations.

Mobile Shelving from OSS. A One-Size-Fits-All Approach? No Way!

December 2nd, 2011

At Office Storage Solutions (OSS), we appreciate that every office environment is different and that companies and organisations have their own preferred way of doing things. That’s why when we design mobile shelving and mobile storage systems we ‘start from scratch’ each time a new enquiry for a mobile storage solution comes in. It’s the best way. It means that every new mobile storage system design and install is unique. After all, people as individuals are unique and have their own way of working, so shouldn’t their favoured storage design reflect that?

mobile-storage-5

What kind of mobile storage solution would best suit you?
By listening to you and your team (the people who will actually be using the system!), and understanding what’s easiest and best for you, we can gain a clear understanding of your exact storage requirements, before we move on to the design stage.

We find this is an approach that pays dividends, every time. So many other office storage companies design, produce and install mobile storage systems they want their clients to have, rather than creating the exact mobile storage solution their client desires. As a result, the storage ‘solution’ proves to be anything but. After installation, users begin to notice problems with their system, and how they often have to compromise on the way they want to store, file and retrieve documents, boxes, disks and other media.

At OSS, clients having to compromise in some way when using one of our systems at their business premises means we have failed. (And we haven’t failed yet!)

roller-racking-6

Do you need mobile shelving and/or mobile storage at your current premises? Or maybe a bespoke system to be in keeping with an office suite you are soon relocating to is what you are looking for?

Tell us what you don’t like about your current mobile shelving or mobile storage system, and what design features would make your life at work so much easier (and, in fact, more enjoyable) each time you go to retrieve or return a file, and we’ll put ourselves in your shoes as we set about ‘making your mobile shelving and/or mobile storage solution happen’.

After all, it’s your mobile storage system we’ll be designing and installing, not ours!

Another Successful Overseas Installation Project by OSS – Ashgabat TV Tower

October 14th, 2011

Following on from the successful installation of the mobile storage system at the new Sony Television facility in Turkmenistan, OSS were again contracted in to design, build, and oversee the installation of an even bigger roller rack storage system at the newly built and very impressive TV tower in Ashgabat.

The mobile storage system, which was built by OSS in the UK before being transported to site for assembly and installation, was specifically designed for the housing of tapes and discs used at the television centre. The system provides for an impressive 7,500 metres of storage space in over 1,100 storage bays, providing the staff with a space-saving yet easily accessible system to manage their media.

The New TV Tower - Ashgabat, Turkmenistan
The new TV tower under construction in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan,
the mobile storage system was installed on the 3rd floor.

 

The entire project took just 5 weeks to complete, during which time OSS flew engineers to the site to work with local engineers to carry out the successful installation on time and on budget.
