Elixir Distillers Project Update
⸺ Elixir Distillers Project on the beautiful Isle of Islay.
We’re proud to share the latest progress from our ongoing work at the Elixir Distillers project on the beautiful Isle of Islay. This bespoke new-build distillery is nearing completion, and key elements of the installation are now in place. The Kingspan KS1000RW roof panels have been successfully installed at a 40° pitch using the Cladboy vacuum lifter and JDP GMK3060L crane, ensuring a precise and efficient fit. Meanwhile, the Kingspan K-Roc Karrier panel system has been fitted to the building’s elevations to support an external render system, with the help of the Cladboy and Roto 360 telehandler.
Additional highlights include the installation of anodized copper-effect rainscreen panels and anodized Kingfisher louvres, both adding striking visual and functional elements to the exterior. McKenzie Martin Kenstack roof vents have been integrated to support ventilation requirements, and their bespoke turret louvres have been installed on the unique kiln rooftop. As we enter the final stages of this prestigious project, our team is focused on completing the rainscreen and louvre works, bringing this iconic distillery on the Islay coastline ever closer to completion.
Clifton Bridge
⸺ Clifton Bridge - First Section Heads to Site South of Penrith
The first section of the new Clifton Bridge has officially begun its journey to the construction site just south of Penrith. This major infrastructure project is a vital replacement for the West Coast Main Line bridge spanning the M6 motorway. The initial delivery – the East Pier Box – is an engineering feat in itself, measuring 21.2 metres long, 4.1 metres wide, and 3.15 metres high, and tipping the scales at a massive 84 tonnes.
This marks the first of ten major loads scheduled over the next five weeks. The coming deliveries will include the heaviest component also at 84 tonnes, and the longest reaching an impressive 38 metres. Stay tuned for more updates as the project progresses and this essential bridge takes shape.
