Burns Construction was awarded the contract by SVS to build new facilities, including office and warehouse spaces, as well as an advanced area for state-of-the-art test and repair equipment.

The works involved the construction of a composite clad, steel portal frame building, along with the associated concrete slab, external works, and utilities. A single-storey office block was also created with blockwork and metal stud partitions to house SVS’s staff. To the external façade, aluminium glazing was installed, and roller shutter doors and aluminium doors provided access.

The new space allowed the client to increase the capacity on their test benches and allowed considerable space for stockholding which was proving an issue before.
