Client       BBC Scotland
Location  Glasgow, Scotland

BBC Scotland is moving from their original Glasgow base to a new purpose built
facility at the edge of the River Clyde.
As part of their storage requirements a Secure Tape Store was required for storage of
‘rushes’ digital tapes.
As part of the BBC Pact contract Dexion Comino successfully tendered for this
project. ESE (Scotland) on behalf of Dexion Comino, completed the
installation of the Compactus Archive mobile shelving. As this part of the BBC
storage facility would not be as much as a focal point within the building the Dexion
Comino along with the client specified the finishes around functionality rather than
aesthetics.
This store is situated on the 1st floor of the building. It is installed on a computer
access floor. The project included the installation of floor jacks below the rails to
transfer the load of the system to the concrete slab below.

ESE (Scotland) has also recently completed the installtion of Dexion mobile shelving for the
storage of the digital tapes containing our favourite television programmes for the
new digital broadcasting centre for BBC Scotland in Glasgow. The new facility has
been positioned in the ‘Digital Quarter’ at Pacific Quay on the banks of the River
Clyde. The Information & Archives Vault is situated on the 2nd floor in the heart of
the building
Although budget was a consideration the client also wanted a solution that was
aesthetically pleasing. The safety of the vault users was also paramount.
Dexion Comino offered a Compactus Archive solution. The provision of safety aisle
locks and torque limiters (slipping clutch) throughout the solution offers excellent
user safety. For aesthetic purposes the client requested that the system guide rails
be installed into the existing computer floor as well as picking glass end panels from
the selection of finishes offered.
The system offers BBC Scotland over 8,000 linear metres of storage in 8 blocks.
