Food-Safe Fit-Out in Production Extension for National Food Manufacturer, Slough

Background 

Following a competitive tender process, Stancold won the work to complete the entire internal food-safe fit-out for a new production area extension spanning two floors, undertaken by national contractor, Walker Construction.

Process

The end user, a household name in food manufacturing, specified non-combustibility as a key factor within the construction. To meet their requirements, Stancold were able to offer white food-safe panelling with a Mineral Fibre core, and worked consultatively with Walker Construction and the end user to accommodate changing design specifications before starting on site.

Solution

Stancold installed over 4200m² of Mineral Fibre core panelling with a food-safe finish, to form a number of new areas within the vast production warehouse space. This included goods-in areas, pallet stores, stairwell enclosures between floors, hygienic corridors and plant rooms.

Stancold were also responsible for the installation of all single and double fire exit doors, as well as 60-minute fire-rated doors where required; approximately 40 in total.

The team took care of the intricate construction details around the existing steelwork, carefully matching up panel joints for an aesthetically-pleasing finish throughout.

Our attention-to-detail and flexibility on site, working with and around other contractors, were key elements in ensuring that the build was a success.
