Project Overview
Scope of Works
Internally, the new facility was designed to provide more than just storage. The layout incorporates a dedicated office area, kitchen facilities, storage space and ablutions, creating a practical and comfortable working environment for day-to-day operations.
Challenges & Our Approach
Restricted Site Footprint
The site presented logistical challenges due to its constrained footprint. With limited space for storage, deliveries and maneuvering plant, careful planning was essential to maintain programme and ensure safe working practices.
To address the restricted footprint, our team implemented a tightly coordinated construction programme with just-in-time deliveries to minimise on-site storage requirements. Sequencing of trades was carefully managed to avoid congestion and maintain safe access routes at all times.
Regular communication with suppliers ensured materials arrived exactly when needed, reducing downtime and maintaining efficiency. The new portal steel frame system was selected for its speed of erection and structural efficiency, helping to shorten the construction period and return the facility to operational use as quickly as possible.
Outcome
The completed unit provides a modern, fit-for-purpose industrial facility that significantly improves upon the original building in terms of performance, safety and internal functionality.
Delivered within a constrained site environment, the project demonstrates William Birch’s ability to manage complex logistics while maintaining high standards of quality, safety and workmanship.
