Client

Ferryspeed

During an inspection, the client identified the need to extensively refit new freezer and chilled storage and install new unloading docks to ensure that delivery, loading, and storage were carried out in optimum conditions.

 

BSS were contracted to provide many different designs and installations, but while the project progressed, the existing Ferryspeed facility continued to operate. This meant that effective project management was vital, including coordination with Ferryspeed’s work force, and providers of other elements such as concrete and door installers.

 

The client requested our designs to be installed in a demountable and modular fashion. This enables flexibility in the pieces; they can move partitions and adapt layouts as required while using the warehouse, and it gives the opportunity to remove or retain significant elements of the installation in the event of relocation.

 

BSS designed, manufactured and installed the following for Ferryspeed: 

  • Strengthening of the existing structure 
  • Steel mezzanine floor extensions 
  • Above-ground concrete strip footings and reinforcement. 
  • Steel access and escape stairs, including extending existing structures 
  • Cold store and chill store supporting structures 
  • Metal decking 
  • Chilled loading pod 
  • Durbar plate flooring 
  • 11 sectional overhead doors 
  • 11 pairs of dock curtains 
  • Lorry buffers 
  • 9 dock levellers 
  • 2 scissor lifts for loading double deck trailers 
  • New steel canopy, giving weather protection over the external yard.
