The client required someone to design, supply and install the canopy to cover their cardboard loading operations at their factory. Due to the requirement for the new canopy to integrate with the existing building, they required an experienced designer/installer for the task. The brief was to ensure a fit for purpose design that complimented the existing building, while looking as if it was always meant to be there. The need for minimum disruption to the site operations and vehicle movements was a key driver for the client.

Global-MSI was able to provide the client with a full package, including Principal Designer and Principal Contractor duties, civils package and full structural design. The structure was designed and built in-house at the Global-MSI premises in Doncaster, then installed by its own erectors.  The whole operation went ahead as per the programme with minimum disruption experienced on site. The client is already in discussion with Global-MSI to extend the new canopy further in phase 2.
