Case Study
DEA-compliant Warehouse Storage
Dipsol of America needed a secure DEA enclosure that worked within an active warehouse environment. Casco delivered a custom solution that met compliance requirements while preserving workflow:
- Enclosed large warehouse shelving unit with compliant metal mesh on all sides and top.
- Designed around existing aisles and accommodated structural supports to maintain access.
- Engineered sliding, locking gate doors for secure, compliant storage with the smallest footprint.
The final installation provided a durable, tamper-resistant DEA-compliant enclosure that protected controlled materials while minimized disruption to Dipsol’s warehouse operations.
