Location BRADFORD

Project Value £4M

The works constitutes the design and construction of a replacement warehouse and office headquarters together with associated external works and drainage.

Old building foundations were utilised alongside new ones, as well as the old existing warehouse slab and gas membrane which had to be completely reinstalled rather than locally repaired as to maintain warranty and integrity.

One issue that had to be overcome was the design to the drivers office was not detailed enough, once detailed it didn’t work as no head supports for structural framing system, this was resolved by a redesign in timber with a joisted roof.

Working closely within a live food environment resulted in high health and safety and hygiene requirements to complete the works alongside the client working.
