New Blow Moulding Facility, Oakthorpe

This project included the civil and structural design for the construction of a new purpose built steel framed extension to the existing Dairy facility to provide additional manufacturing space and was constructed within a fully operational facility adjacent Pymmes Brook watercourse.

Enabling works for the scheme included the extension and alteration of the service and delivery yards and required careful and detailed drainage coordination and dialogue with Enfield Council and the LLFA to secure Planning Approval.

Due to the prevailing ground conditions including river deposits below made ground, the scheme included a piled foundation solution with piles installed tight against the existing operational facility.

Design of the steel frame considered not only the existing building frame to which it adjoined but also the erection and phasing required to ensure it could be safely constructed adjacent existing live infrastructure including silos and delivery vehicles etc.
