Background:

As a result of our expertise and bespoke cleanroom envelope packages, Stancold were awarded a new-build contract with a battery research organisation that specialises in reusing and recycling tin mining materials to create lithium batteries.

Process:

The client requested the new-build cleanroom as part of a pilot phase for a large-scale facility in the long-term.

Throughout the contract, the team collaborated closely with the manufacturing equipment contractor, who would later install the new machinery.

Included in the scope was the design and installation of double personnel doors for ease of access and a vision panel to enhance visibility within the facility.

Project Delivery:

The team’s flexibility and proactive nature allowed them to build the initial walls during the first site visit, leaving a pre-designed opening to allow for the manufacturing equipment to be installed.

Due to the nature of the client’s work, a phased installation was required. The second phase began once the new equipment had been installed, resulting in the team returning to seal the room.

As per the client’s request, the team installed treadplate wall protection across the cleanroom perimeter in order to minimise the risk of potential damages.

The Brief

An M&E contractor already working with Stancold approached the team directly for the cold store scope within a university veterinary anatomical research facility in Bristol. The requirement was a dual-compartment chiller and freezer for the storage of equine cadavers, delivered inside a live, occupied campus building without interrupting scheduled teaching or research.

Our Approach

With refrigeration sitting within the contractor’s own scope, the envelope needed a specialist who could take it off their plate entirely – design, panel selection, access planning and installation – and return it complete and right first time. Several factors shaped delivery:

• A live academic environment with scheduled classes and research continuing throughout
• Delicate learning materials requiring careful relocation and securing before works began
• A dual-compartment chiller and freezer within one envelope, each with manual sliding doors for ease of access
• Restricted site access and a working area to be secured and segregated from building users

The initial site survey was coordinated directly within the university’s timetable, allowing the programme to be agreed around their operations, rather than in conflict with them.

Delivery in Action

Kingspan QuadCore was utilised across the entire scope, at 80mm to the chiller and 125mm to the freezer, with 114m² of panelling forming both compartments and manual sliding doors to each.

Working within a secured construction area, the team integrated into the live building without disruption to academic activity, managing their own segregation, access and material movements so the contractor was not drawn into day-to-day coordination.

The installation was completed to specification and to programme, allowing the contractor to hand the facility back to the university without knock-on effect to scheduled teaching and research programme.

Background:

Following the success of a prior project, CREST were contacted directly to help a pre-existing client design and build a coldstore, freezer, and ambient room for their second warehouse following a relocation.

Process:

The client required a fast turnaround, prompting CREST’s team to conduct a comprehensive site survey within just four days of the initial enquiry.

The scope of the project included the design of a bespoke reinforced freezer floor. Due to the nature of our client’s onsite operations, the traditional concrete flooring wouldn’t cope with the pressure from the excessive weight of the cargo pallets.

Our team’s strong communication and commitment to meeting client needs enabled us to deliver three high-quality designs, giving the client clear options to match their requirements.

Project Delivery:

Despite the tight schedule, the team were fully prepared to begin installation on-site within six weeks of the initial enquiry.

Due to the nature of the client’s work, the challenge of working in a live everchanging environment was presented. However, with the team’s extensive installation experience, the planning and delivery service ran smoothly.

Along with the bespoke freezer flooring, as part of the project scope we provided our N+1 refrigeration package that conducts constant temperature-mapping.

Stancold were involved in early-stage negotiations with a growing speciality food wholesaler, who were looking to expand and relocate their manufacturing facility within Birmingham.

Experienced project management contractor, Pentadel, took on the full turnkey package to transform and extend an existing building into a fit-for-purpose food manufacturing facility.

Our Approach

Stancold were appointed to undertake the food facility’s internal fit-out, alongside the internal and external cladding of a purpose-built extension, suited to product packaging and dispatch.

Our team worked collaboratively on the design and specification of this project to ensure that the end user’s requirements were met. Transferring specialist panel-build knowledge and skills into the external extension works allowed us to confidently add this element to our responsibilities.

The full specification included over 10 different areas, such as main production, a blast chiller, a dry store and a soy room.

Delivery in Action

As part of a 9-month phased construction, which included coordinating with other contractors on the busy site, Stancold successfully completed the hygienic panel installation to form areas as per the end user’s specification, alongside a 60-minute sub-dividing firewall between the building and its new extension, another part of Stancold’s scope to meet fire safety building regulations.

The internal fit-out extension construction included all cladding, using goosewing grey trapezoidal panels from Kingspan’s roof system, and door canopy. These works also encompassed a one-hour fire-rated boundary wall, utilising a RockSpan composite core. With tight access to consider, panels were craned from a bank to the rear of the building, alongside narrow plant used throughout.

Internally, the fit-out incorporated bespoke window details to accommodate the building’s existing roof lights, as well as specialist flush windows, allowing free viewing into the main production area. The team constructed a bulkhead to neatly conceal air handling equipment and all existing steelwork was encased to maintain food safety excellence.

This was a large project that required timely planning and coordination at every stage, where our team thrived in demonstrating such qualities.

Background 

Stancold was commissioned by a returning client, a Somerset dairy producer, to outfit a new facility extension with a dual compartment freezer to support growing production.

Although we complete projects nationwide, projects for food and beverage producers in our region carry extra meaning!

With the producer’s Managing Director overseeing the freezer build, we had to integrate smoothly with the end user and their multiple contractors.

Process

Our team carried out a site visit to map the extension and how it would tie into the existing facility, then worked through several design revisions to align with the client’s budget and wider extension plans.

To align with the extension’s pitched roof, the producer requested a matching pitched ceiling for the freezer, meaning panels for three of the walls had to be cut to precise slopes. As Stancold’s insulated panel packages are made-to-order, this was no issue for our project delivery team.

Our client opted to build a two compartment frozen storage area so one side can be shut down during low demand periods, reducing energy use, operating costs and their overall carbon footprint.

Project Delivery

Stancold coordinated with the dairy producer’s other contractors to construct the dual-compartment freezer space within their newly built extension using a bespoke system of 150mm Kingspan Quadcore panels. The installation was complete with two sliding freezer doors for entry into both compartments and floor angle protection as forklift trucks will be used in the storage space.

Our project delivery team also managed the installation of a modular heating mat onto the extension’s concrete base and the concrete floor covering to accommodate forklift truck use. A galvanised steel top hat suspension system allowed the pitched ceiling to be supported.

We are always pleased to use our extensive expertise of insulated panel systems to help a UK food or beverage producer expand their operations.

This included installing high-performance Kingspan Quadcore paneling, capping openings for existing doors, fitting a new door, and suspending the ceiling from the existing structure.

Additionally, Stancold installed ceiling-mounted railings to ensure Yeo Valley’s team could safely carry out maintenance on the whitewalled roof.
