New warehouse for Twinings
February 1st 2006 Rubb Buildings has completed construction of a new warehouse facility for Twinings, the global tea traders. The project was awarded following a successful tender bid, with Twinings employing the services of a consultant to help prepare the build specifications and organise the tender.
The warehouse is situated at Royal Quays, North Shields and was required to provide extra storage capacity to handle increased production and change in products produced at the North of England facility.
The unit is used to store a variety of packaging materials, including cartons, foil envelopes and paper.
The BVE type building is 52.5m long with a span of 24m and 6m high sidewalls.
Vehicle access to the facility is via the 7.5m x 5m high loading bay extension with high roller shutter doors.
The warehouse features a partially translucent roof providing a natural balanced source of light and a 7.5m wide loading bay extension.
The size of the loading bay provides space for two articulated lorries to simultaneously enter the site under cover, allowing the transfer of goods onto the shelving racks to be done quickly and efficiently.
The design and quality of the Rubb Buildings structure is said to provide a safe and ergonomic working environment.
