AGRICULTURAL

Situated on agricultural Greenbelt in the far North East of Scotland, this multipurpose 12m x 7m Agricultural Storage Unit was designed to withstand the harsh and ever-changing environmental conditions of its exposed location which includes freezing temperatures, extremely high winds, and high levels of rain and snow.

The client selected grq-consulting Ltd as our portal frame design complies with BS5950 Industrial specification as standard irrespective of application and in far superior to Agricultural grade BS5502. In addition our cold rolled galvanised steel profile means the unit will never rust or require any maintenance or regular painting schedule.

The customer also opted for insulated Kingspan cladding panels to ensure the safe storage of valuable agricultural machinery, equipment and supplies in this harsh environment. The Sapphire Blue cladding colour is a Planning condition in this part of the country and ensured the building sat harmoniously with existing farm buildings already on the site and across the county.

The steel building kit was delivered on time and required only one trailer delivery to site. Following delivery, the steel portal frame was erected within 1 week by the client’s chosen contractors using our detailed assembly drawings and erecting manual and was completed 3 weeks without the need for any heavy lifting equipment.

Additional customisations included a Personnel Access Door and a 2.4m x 2.4m plastisol-coated insulated manual roller shutter door which will provide a maintenance-free, dry and secure environment for years to come.

Client Testiminonal

Right from the initial enquiry Julian at GRQ was very helpful. He advised on sizing and spec of the building to help me firm up on what would be ideal for my application taking into account my usage case and my remote location.

This advice and support was extended to my local builder explaining to him how the concrete raft on which the unit would stand was to be designed and installed.

The order process was simple, I was kept up to date on progress through manufacturing and detailed erecting guides and additional support, including all the warranty information was provided. Delivery was surprisingly quick for a bespoke build to me in North East Scotland and the quality of the product is great, even down to the smallest fittings my builder tells me! I’m delighted with my new unit and will certainly be back for more in future as my business expands! Many thanks Julian.
