The project

This project in mainland Europe highlights the Group's presence and expertise on the continent through Netherlands-based Severfield Europe BV.

The A58 distribution logistics centre is located strategically between the large ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp on the intersection of two major Dutch motorways. The overall project will create a logistics hub that provides easy access to mainland Europe.

The Group has delivered two buildings in this development, including installation of hollow core slabs for a mezzanine floor, all in accordance with BREEAM's 'very good' sustainability guidelines.

Severfield were responsible for the connection design, fabrication, delivery and installation of c. 1,700 tonnes of main and secondary steel, including installation of hollow core slabs provided by the client for a mezzanine floor.

The overall specification provided a particular challenge for the design team, with a lean section design requiring special attention to be paid to the connection design.

Fabrication was then divided between the Group's UK production facilities and certain approved European subcontractors. As with all large international projects delivered by the Group, this required a high level of planning and close organisation of an international supply chain and workforce.

Despite the inevitable logistical challenges that arise on such an undertaking, the project was delivered and installed in accordance with the original timeframe.
