Pallet Racking Services in Gaithersburg, MD

Gaithersburg's biopharma tenant base has specific requirements:

• AstraZeneca and MedImmune biologics: Biologic products (mAbs, vaccines, cell therapies) require strict cold-chain storage. Galvanized rack with stainless fasteners, drain-through wire deck, and cold-room-adjacent temperature cycling tolerance is standard.
• NIST calibration-standard facilities: NIST stores reference materials and calibration standards under tight environmental control. Rack installed there meets ISO/IEC 17025-adjacent requirements for material traceability.
• Clinical trial material staging: Several Gaithersburg biopharma tenants run CTM operations — secure partitioned bays, chain-of-custody labeling, two-person-integrity access.
• FDA GMP documentation: Material cert, load-capacity permanence, calibration-ready bay numbering tied to the tenant's validated asset system.

Two-track permit process that catches tenants off guard:

• Gaithersburg Permit Center: The City of Gaithersburg's permit office handles zoning and site-plan review for city-limit parcels. Review is typically fast, 7–12 business days.
• Montgomery County DPS structural permit: Structural rack permits above 12 ft top-of-load still route through Montgomery County DPS. We submit to both simultaneously so they run in parallel.
• Montgomery County Fire & Rescue: Handles high-piled review at 12 ft or 500 sq ft Class IV/plastics — regardless of whether the parcel is inside or outside Gaithersburg city limits.
• Life-sciences building stock: 22–30 ft clear typically; newer Key West Avenue and Research Blvd inventory reaches 30 ft with ESFR.
