Project complexities, simplified by Alpha:
- Delivering works within a live food production facility, requiring strict adherence to hygiene, security and operational constraints to ensure uninterrupted production and compliance with site standards.
- Tying new foundations into existing structures with unknown details, requiring investigation, design adaptation and flexible construction approaches to achieve a safe and buildable solution.
- Coordinating crane operations adjacent to a live railway line, including approval from Network Rail and careful planning of lifting operations to ensure safety and compliance.
- Sequencing construction around client-installed process plant, requiring phased delivery and coordination to complete the building structure and services around installed equipment without impacting the programme.
Scope of Works:
- Excavation and enabling works within the existing factory layout, including working around existing foundations and diversion of live services.
- Ground investigation and preparation for CFA piling, ensuring suitability for deep foundation installation in a constrained environment.
- Installation of reinforced concrete foundations and floor slabs (approx. 440m³), providing a robust base for heavy process plant and structural loads.
- Erection of a structural steel frame building (34m x 16m x 16m high) with cladded walls and roof, delivering a durable enclosure for industrial processes.
- Installation of access systems, including ladders and platforms, enabling safe operation and maintenance of plant.
- Installation of doors, roller shutters and ventilation louvres, supporting operational functionality and environmental control.
- Installation of LV power and lighting systems, providing essential building services for operational readiness.
- External surfacing works, including tarmacadam finishes to support safe vehicle and pedestrian movement.
