Freight Fowarding, Frans Maas (UK) Ltd, Brown Hills

On three separate occasions we have been commissioned to design extensions for this existing freight terminal.

The original warehouse had external loading docks protected by a canopy roof. The first extension includes new loading docks with a steel framed enclosure, clad with profiled metal cladding.

The second extension is a storage warehouse of 1,760m2 with a 15 metre eaves height. This is designed with 35 metre clear span portal frames clad with profiled metal cladding and a power floated floor slab.

The third is a two storey 215m2 office extension which not only provides additional office space but also provides accommodation for drivers. This is a steel frame construction with insulated profiled metal cladding to walls and roof. The floors are constructed with precast reinforced concrete planks.
