📸Progress Update📸

Work is progressing well at King George V Dock in Glasgow after only 7 days of erection. The building is a 100m x 50m clear span x 8.6m high salt storage building. It will have 6m high retaining walls to the perimeter to give a capacity of 40,000 tonnes.

The 26m rafters are spliced in the middle for galvanizing and transport and will be bolted together on site to a combined weight of 12t per set of rafters.

BHC will be supplying around 350t of steel, 7000m2 of cladding, 1250m3 of concrete slabs and installing 500t of precast retaining walls on this project.

Throwback Thursday: Dairy Farm Extension

Take a look back at this impressive expansion of a Dairy Farm in the Highlands.

BHC were involved in the project early on, achieving both planning permission and building warrant before beginning onsite to construct three new sheds, each housing 220 cows. The new units boosted output to more than 35,000 litres per day.
