This new steel-framed construction, an extension to the current warehouse, was designed as a storage facility for Veetee Rice. It was essential that this fitted within the tight site constraints of both the working factory and its existing buildings. 

The warehouse was built just 100m away from the river estuary. Enormous floor loadings were required due to the specified racking and storage, requiring over 300 piles to be installed. 1200m3 of power floated slab was poured in just two phases.

Faircloth took the project on a true Design and Build basis using the team of in-house engineers to value engineer the project. As a result, the piling design was changed and the steel frame was slimmed down, therefore saving tonnage. Subsequently, generous savings were offered back to the client.
