German term or phrase:Satellitenlager
It's not "satellite warehouse" and I don't even think the word satellite appears in the English translation (from my Googling research).
1.2.2 Anforderungen an ein Satellitenlager
Satellitenlager sollten an Kreuzungspunkten zwischen der vorhandenen Infrastruktur (z. B. Straßen) und der zukünftigen Eisenbahntrasse angesiedelt werden.. Die Satellitenlager sollten über genügend Lagerfläche für die Zwischenlagerung von Bodenaushub und Schüttgütern, die einfache Fahrzeug- und Maschinenunterhaltung sowie Betankung verfügen.
An den Orten der Satellitenlager muss es möglich sein, zentrale Aufgaben der Bauüberwachung durchzuführen zu können. Dazu gehören u. a. Büro- und Wohnräume inkl. Sanitäranlagen, Telekommunikations- und Stromanschlüsse.
Satellitenlager müssen binnen 36 Stunden von einem Pufferlager über vorzugsweise vorhandene Infrastruktur erreichbar sein.
Der Abstand zwischen zwei Satellitenlagern sollte in Abhängigkeit von der geplanten Bauzeit und der Geländetopologie gewählt werden. Der Abstand zweier Satellitenlager sollte dabei zwischen 50 und 75 km liegen.
Explanation: I'd use this, on the assumption that my readers are not totally stupid, and I'd also use "laid down" and not purchased, because it's obviously an expression much in favour in the financial world. But we're not talking about the rarefied financial world here; we're talking about the (far more rarefied) world of railway construction.

And I certainly wouldn\'t rely on google here; I believe this subject is far too rarefied. I think we all know in our heart of hearts that google cannot possibly \"know\" everything, and we will all be well aware that it has its weaknesses in our own specialist subjects, and this, a specialist subject of mine, is just such a weakness of google.
However, to be consistent, it will depend on what you select fot the earlier use of \"Lager\" - whether \"store\" or \"stock\", they should both be the same.
thanks again. the problem with warehouses/facilities was that these may be huge areas which INCLUDE buildings such as warehouses. stocks seemed like the best bet (or stores 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
I see what you mean from the link, my problem is that when I add the word "railway" and then the word "construction" (the context here) it goes down to one hit...not to mention that the context should include the phrase "construction materials" or at least "materials". Perhaps too overzealous in my googling, i don't know.

Explanation: ..this term came to mind from somewhere inside my noggin. Lots of hits, I didn't check to see if any fit your context.
Explanation: satellite warehouses does appear in Google -> see link (22 hits) and is a current term in warehousing.
Linked warehouses is an option, if you don't like satellite.
"subsidiary warehouses" gets no hits, though its also a possibility IMO.

There is one other possibility \"side warehouse\", which in the case of railways also goes with siding. That might fit better.

Explanation: I don't think these are warehouses at all. If I remember from your earlier questions, this is about a building site. They seem to be building a new railway line or something. The idea is that they set up temporary storage areas so that when the workmen on the site need materials they don't have to bring them in from too far away.
For me a warehouse is a fairly solid structure built to last. These are storage points that will probably disappear when their purpose has been served.
I remember when they built TGV lines in France - in the days I was working for railways - they "borrowed" sites of the local farmers etc. to set up stores of this nature (front-line stores) and one of the conditions of the contract was that they had to restore the site to its former glory at the end of the construction phase.
