Story Contracting were awarded the Maybrook Warehouse Extension Phase 2 project, following the successful completion of 4000m2 Phase 1 works by Story Contracting in 2014.
Contracted by London based property developers Maybrook Properties, Story Contracting were tasked with further expanding the Pirelli facility in Carlisle, Cumbria.
This facility is run by DHL, who are contracted to procure the distribution of Pirelli tyres worldwide.
All elements of the project were overseen by Story Contracting, including the installation of the sprinkler system, symphonic drainage and 300m security fence, and the completion of the steel, cladding and all associated works.
The earthworks, piling and reinforced soil embankments provided the team with significant challenges, alongside a substantial ground works programme, resulting in 28000t of clay and topsoil being moved to 2 skips over a successful 13 day period.
Despite these unforeseen obstacles, the project team remained focused and the completion date was met. This left our end client, Pirelli UK, extremely impressed with the high quality of work done in the given timeframe.
This project demonstrated a high level of integrity and hard work by our team. Despite a fault developing in the warehouse sprinkler a few days before completion, tremendous personal commitment and team work was used to ensure that the practical completion date was granted on time.
This dedication and continuous communication further cemented our growing relationship with Maybrook Properties and Pirelli UK.
I would like to give my personal thanks to Andy Clode and his team for their wonderful efforts and contribution amidst horrendous weather, on delivering a successful project for both Maybrook Properties and Pirelli UK.
