The property consisted of a large woodchip and
sawdust processing plant in North Wales, which
unfortunately was destroyed by fire. The work was
carried out on behalf of the insurance company,
NFU. And their Loss Adjustor.
The project comprised of the complete stripping
out and rebuilding of the building and plant.
During the shut down there was a great loss to the
business, which was covered by the insurance
therefore speed of construction was essential and
the programme was condensed
Due to the complexity of the job and the number of
different companies involved, i.e. Main Contractor,
plant, machine manufacturers and installers, we
were responsible for not only Contract
Administration but also in acting as Project
Managers and we liaised closely with the specialist
contractors and machine supplier and fitters from
Germany to ensure a construction to their exact
specifications. This allowed us to oversee the
whole operation and ensure the construction was
ready for the delivery of the various items of plant
and machinery. This ensured the work was
completed in a timely and cost effective manner
