Client’s Requirements   

Princes Soft Drinks Ltd commissioned the production of additional storage and warehousing space at their existing factory in Bradford.

The warehouse was to contain a BT close form racking aisle with a radio shuttle carriage unit to provide a semi-automated warehouse for the storage of palleted goods. The facility was also to contain a VNA racking zone, an area for gravity lane storage, seven loading bays and 7 dock leveller locations.

The existing CEVA warehouse and loading bay was to be demolished and the area remodelled to accommodate a revised road layout and new car park.

The new facility also included office and welfare accommodation.

Silcock Leedham’s Contribution

We were responsible for completing Stage D Performance specifications for the building services design, on-site monitoring, snagging, witnessing and 12 month defects inspection.

We also provided an enabling works package to assist with the phased implementation of the new services strategy, in order to keep the site ‘live’ throughout the building works.

Added Value / Unique Selling Points

To keep the site ‘live’ throughout the building works our phased enabling plan for the diversion of the existing services and the implementation of the new services was paramount to the successful completion and handover of the job on time and to budget.
