ESSITY UK LTD – Prudhoe
Bespoke Chemical Storage Facility
Hygiene and healthcare manufacturer Essity UK Ltd enlisted the help of our team to deliver a new state-of-the-art chemical storage facility at their site in Prudhoe, Northumberland.
Storing chemicals in a dedicated space is crucial for safety. It allows for the segregation of incompatible chemicals, preventing dangerous reactions like fires or explosions. This dedicated area minimises risks to people, property, and the environment.
Therefore, chemical storage facilities must be both safe and efficient to negate a vast number of health and safety risks, but our specialist team rose to the occasion and set about delivering a highly suitable storage solution for the large-scale manufacturer.
Prudhoe is Essity’s largest site in the UK, employing approximately 400 people. The site manufactures products for brands like Velvet, Cushelle and Tork. Additionally, the site produces its own brand label products for UK customers as prominent as Asda.
The finished structure’s dimensions are 4.5 meters in length, 4.5 meters in width, and 5 meters in height. It meets the highest standards of safety and efficiency. From installing the ever-crucial base plate, all the way through to the addition of a bespoke roller shutter, we oversaw the progress of the entire project.
The area in which the project was completed presented a whole host of challenges that had to be overcome in order to deliver the structure on time while minimising disruption to Essity UK’s ongoing operations. Fortunately, we were able to accomplish this by being flexible and adapting to environmental obstacles on the fly.
The installation of this facility was completed successfully and on schedule thanks to our team’s dedication to quality and expertise in delivering structures fit for a wide range of purposes. Essity UK now boasts a chemical storage facility that is efficient, durable and fulfils their specific needs.
