Following the success of their newly constructed distillery on a greenfield site in the heart of Ireland, Wm Grant & Sons have expanded the facilities by constructing a new 7500 sqm bottling hall with service yard and HGV parking to serve their growing export market. Woolgar Hunter were the Civil and Structural engineers on the project, delivering the design of a triple pitched portal frame with fast action doors for deliveries and loading of vehicles.
Engineering Excellence
The building incorporates offices, a suspended ground floor slab and was constructed on precast driven piles due to the poor underlying ground conditions. A new tank bund was formed to accommodate 16No 100,000 litre vessels with associated pipe bridges and new access gantries to service the new building.
The new service yard and perimeter access road was constructed in concrete and incorporates sustainable urban drainage systems. This is the first stage of an expanding facility, which will include new bonded warehouse, extension to the Co-Products building and new grain distillery building.
