Commenting on this collaboration, Dharshana Wijemanne, Director of Advantis 3PL said, “At Advantis 3PL, our goal is to provide a reliable and safe environment for our staff members and our clients’ inventory. Investing in these modern fire systems supports business disruption mitigation. We extend our sincere thanks to Hayleys Fentons for closely collaborating with all project stakeholders to minimise disruption to warehouse operations.”
“The primary challenge was to deliver the project within a short timeframe, necessitating close coordination with the finishing stage of the civil works. This involved meticulous planning and customisation to ensure seamless integration of the new system with the existing infrastructure. A phased approach was implemented, maintaining strong communications with suppliers and using air freight for critical materials to ensure timely delivery. We also provided comprehensive training for staff to familiarise them with modern fire detection and suppression technology,” stated Sujith De Alwis, Director and CEO of Hayleys Fentons.
Hasith Prematillake, Managing Director of Hayleys Fentons, said, “The fire protection system at Advantis 3PL Plus Logistics City will significantly improve the warehouse environment for material storage, safeguarding the clients’ valuable inventories. By putting safety first, we help our partners run a more productive and efficient operation.
