Value Centre - Little Island, Cork

Client Overview

​

The Value Centre, a large distribution and logistics facility located in Little Island, Cork, operates a high-activity warehouse handling substantial daily volumes of goods. With constant movement of staff, forklifts, and delivery vehicles, maintaining a safe, efficient, and well-organised environment is critical to daily operations.

To support these requirements, the Value Centre engaged ROADMARKINGS.IE, specialists in industrial and warehouse line marking solutions.

​

Project Brief

​

The Value Centre required a complete warehouse marking solution to clearly define:

• Pedestrian walkways

• Forklift and vehicle traffic lanes

• Loading and unloading zones

• Storage and racking areas

• Safety zones around machinery and hazards

The primary objectives were to enhance workplace safety, improve operational efficiency, and ensure the warehouse layout was clear and easy to follow for all staff and visitors.

​

Weekend Works to Minimise Disruption

​

Given the Value Centre’s busy weekday operations, it was essential that the marking works caused minimal disruption to daily activity. To achieve this, we scheduled all works during weekend hours, when warehouse traffic and staffing levels were significantly reduced.

By carrying out the project outside of normal operating hours, the team ensured:

• No interruption to weekday deliveries or dispatch schedules

• No impact on staff productivity

• A safe working environment while markings were applied and cured

This flexible, client-focused approach allowed the Value Centre to resume normal operations immediately on Monday morning, with all markings fully completed and ready for use.

​

Implementation by ROADMARKINGS.IE​

​

We used specialised battery-powered line marking machines, ideal for indoor warehouse environments. This equipment produces no fumes and minimal noise, making it suitable for enclosed spaces and ensuring a clean, professional finish.

Working closely with site management, the Roadmarkings.ie team developed a detailed marking plan that included:

• High-visibility pedestrian walkway lines separating foot traffic from vehicle routes

• Clearly defined directional arrows and traffic lanes for forklifts

• Colour-coded safety exclusion zones around machinery and loading bays

• Marked storage bays to maximise space efficiency and organisation

All markings were applied with durable, high-quality materials designed to withstand heavy warehouse traffic.

​

Benefits Delivered

​

1. Improved Warehouse Safety

Clear segregation of pedestrian and vehicle routes significantly reduced the risk of collisions. Highly visible safety zones help raise awareness around hazardous areas, encouraging safer movement throughout the warehouse.

2. Increased Operational Efficiency

Defined traffic routes and loading areas improved the flow of vehicles and goods, reducing congestion and confusion. Staff can now move more efficiently through the warehouse, saving time and improving productivity.

3. Better Organisation & Space Utilisation

Marked storage bays and work zones improved layout clarity and space management. This makes stock easier to locate, supports faster picking processes, and helps maintain long-term organisation standards.

4. Compliance & Best Practice

The new warehouse markings support health and safety compliance and demonstrate the Value Centre’s commitment to providing a safe working environment for employees, contractors, and visitors.

​

Conclusion

​

By completing the project during weekend hours, we delivered a comprehensive warehouse marking solution for the Value Centre with zero disruption to daily operations. The result is a safer, more efficient, and well-organised warehouse that supports both productivity and long-term operational excellence.
