Amber Group Facility

An industrial steel structure for Amber Group, currently in progress under our standard measurement-to-handover process.

Overview

What the project involved

Amber Group's facility is being delivered as a clear-span steel structure sized around the client's production floor requirements.

The project is progressing through fabrication and site erection, coordinated with the client's civil works on the same programme.

The hard part

Every entry on the left is a constraint that could have stopped the programme. Every entry on the right is the decision that removed it.

A clear production floor
Production and storage layouts need a floor plate free of intermediate columns, which drives the portal frame span and purlin spacing from day one.
A tight commissioning date
Factory clients are working back from a production or tenancy start date, which puts the programme — not just the design — under pressure from the first site visit.
Coordinating with the civil contractor
Foundation and floor slab works are typically run by a separate civil contractor, so the steel frame design has to hand over clean loading and anchor bolt information early.

Portal frames sized for the floor plan
Bay spacing and clear span are set from the client's production or racking layout, not from a standard shed template.
Fabrication run in parallel with foundations
Because our engineering turnaround is fast, fabrication starts while the civil contractor is still on foundations — so the frame is ready to erect the moment they hand over.
One set of coordinated drawings
Foundation loading and anchor bolt setting-out are issued to the civil contractor directly from our structural design, removing a common source of on-site rework.

Programme

Measurement through to handover, run as one continuous process rather than a chain of separate contracts.

Measurement
Site visit
Site dimensions, ground conditions and the client's usage brief recorded on site.
Engineering & calculation
Within 24 hours
Structural design, load calculation and firm quotation returned against BNBC requirements.
Fabrication & erection
Fabrication to site
Frame, purlin and cladding fabricated to drawing, delivered and bolted together on site.
Final inspection & handover
Project close-out
Structure checked against approved drawings, snags closed out, and the building signed over.
