The challenge

The operator needed high-bay racking without internal columns, a building ready for automation, and construction completed in fourteen months to meet a contract start date.

Our solution

A portal-frame steel structure spans 36 metres with a 14-metre eaves height. We designed the frames for off-site fabrication and bolted assembly, and sequenced foundations, steel and cladding so that three trades could work on site at once.

The result

Handed over in thirteen months. Roof-mounted solar now supplies around 40% of the facility’s daytime demand.

“Thirteen months from ground-breaking to handover on a 42,000 m² facility. The weekly reports meant we were never surprised — not once.”
