Directly employed by client Browns Food Group, ACT were engaged to supply and install cold store panels to form new freezer, blast freezer and production areas within new build packing facility. The scope of works included concrete insulated floors to main holding freezer and blast freezer as well as supply and installation of sliding door and shutters
The factory extension on the Brown Brothers site in Kirkconnel is continuing to take shape and is on target to be up and running next year. The outer ground and inside base flooring work and stainless drainage channels have now been completed and the next phase of installing the stainless kerbing and inner partition walls is underway.
Again, the purpose of the extension is to increase efficiencies and productivity and it will be utilised mostly for low-risk processing. The new extension will also provide us with an increased butchery capacity (particularly for our Scottish pork processing) and much improved goods in handling with a larger 800 pallet cold store new blast freezer system and defrosting area. Additionally, the extension will offer us improved staff changing facilities, increased hygiene areas and an increased cooking capacity.
