Plan Storage Cabinet built to last at NASA

NASA chooses sturdy feature filled Ulrich plan storage cabinet

Plan Storage Cabinet for Critical Mission

 
In fact, during the late 1960s and early 70s, people said. “If you want to go to the moon, you first have to go through Hancock County.”
During 1961 the US entered the space race with a mission to put a man on the moon. And they choose Hancock Mississippi as the site for rocket testing.  Making Stennis Space Center in Hancock, the heart of the space program. Of course it began with the Saturn V rocket for the Apollo program and continues today.
 
Since 1965,  NASA’s choice for plan storage cabinets have been Ulrich Planfiles. To begin with, these cabinets are fire resistant and water resistant. As a result, they provide much needed protection to these important engineering drawing. In addition, a key lock and internal hing keep the engineering drawings secure. Not to mention, the 60 “Tuff-one” folders provide great document protection. Finally, spring compression system and folders protected and organized the engineering drawings.
 
Jeanne Keller, Document Coordinator for the Central Engineering Files, says the following:
 
“Thank You for your help. CEF (Central Engineering Files) has had 8 of these plan files since 1965 and we now have 33 files in all. They are still in good working order. You have a great Product and when I need more files I will be sure to order from Ulrich.”

Drawings stored in flat file cabinets, rolled on shelves and hanging clamps

Southwestern Elementary School in Lakewood, NY recently moved from a building that had housed the school for over 70 years to a new structure. The new lot is adjacent to the middle school and high school with greatly improved technology and facilities to house the K-5th graders that attend.

What first looked like a need to merely contain the prints that had been used in the most recent construction, quickly became an archival project.

Planfiles
Two Planfiles hold all of Southwestern’s current drawings with plenty of room for future projects

Prints were found that involved water, electrical, structural and heating, drawings spanning back decades and numerous elementary, middle and high school buildings for the Southwestern Central School district.

Ulrich Planfiling donated several Planfiles to aid the school district in organizing and maintaining historical documents that highlighted the school’s changes over many years of operation.

Two Planfiles hold all of Southwestern’s current drawings with plenty of room for future projects.

The drawings were organized and installed into the Planfiles by Ulrich employees, a project which was no small feat. The newest drawings are referenced frequently to maintain the current facility and make any necessary changes. The easy accessibility and organization makes such upkeep possible for the numerous contractors and laborers that work on the building.

At only 11 inches deep Ulrich Cadfile Cabinet stores active projects in any office area. Keeping important drawings close at hand.

Filing the same number of documents in flat file cabinets would have required six flat file sections. The flat file cabinets would have required twice the floor space and cost over 25% more than Ulrich.

At only 11 inches deep Ulrich Cadfile Cabinet stores active projects in any office area. Keeping important drawings close at hand.

While increased storage is a plus at the new Southwestern Elementary, floor space is readily available due to the space saving technology utilized by Ulrich’s vertical filing system. Lastly, for the newest and oldest drawings the cabinets provide fire and water resistance; therefore, keeping the documents intact for years to come.

 

 

The Town of Busti

Town Clerk filing
Town Clerk, Diane VanDewark, appreciates how much easier the Ulrich Planfile has made her job.

The Town of Busti, in Western New York State, currently makes use of an Ulrich Planfile to house important plans and area maps. After having great success with the model, further documentation has created the necessity for another file, and Ulrich was again their choice.

“It is the perfect place to store our Town Maps, Water District Maps, Town Building Maps and our Project Plans. The Ulrich Planfile protects our drawings keeping them flat and in great condition.”-Diane Van Dewark, Town Clerk, Town of Busti

The cabinet keeps the numerous types and kinds of drawings easily accessible and well organized. Ulrich’s accompanying file folders divide the maps and plans into groups and labels them accordingly. Index cards placed in the lid of the unit provide further ease in locating the desired material. The frequent use of these documents make Diane’s job much easier as Ulrich’s vertical filing system makes large drawings easy to access, view and put back in the appropriate order.

Space saving design requires less than ½ the space of flat drawer files.
Planfiles are easy to use and documents are maintained in great condition.
Mobility, fire and water resistance at such an affordable price provide safety and value.
