The project

Versatility was the main objective of this new build. The client required a large bulk storage building that had flexibility around storage options and loading methods. The short-term storage meant the client preferred a roof-only structure.

What we delivered

  • 15,000T multipurpose roof only structure
  • Overhangs to minimize weather ingress
  • 2.5 cantilevered canopy to both long sides
  • 2.5 gable overhang on both 36m ends including canopy
