Cooled tank storage facility – 6.2 million litres

project overview:

Modern Cellars expanded well beyond their intended production capacity, resulting in their utilising of space previously used for storage and fermentation to make provision for increased production. The increased production also resulted in a further demand for additional storage capacity.

An additional cooled storage facility with a capacity of 6.2 million litres was needed to accommodate increased production, to store an excess of wine resulting from Covid 19 restrictions and to provide for addition future growth. The project was to convert a fermentation facility into a cooled tank storage facility with the minimum of changes.

The project included civil excavation and construction, manufacturing and erection of structural steel work, ISO panel cladding for cooling efficiency, stainless steel tanks, tank plinth layouts, lighting and electrical controlled valves; and appropriate SIKA floor covering with catwalks and stairs.
