Trans European Port Services
client: Havercroft Construction
New Build High Bay Warehouse
Project Overview
This project involved the construction of a new high bay warehouse, encompassing a comprehensive design brief that included the foundations, drainage systems, structural elements, and hard standings.
Design and Engineering
A key factor in the project was the Flood Risk Assessment, which identified the necessity for a full design of a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS). The Beam team expertly executed this requirement, employing Causeway Flow software to facilitate the design process. This innovative approach ensured effective management of stormwater runoff and compliance with environmental standards, ultimately contributing to the sustainability of the project.
Conclusion
The successful implementation of the SuDS design not only addressed the flood risk concerns but also enhanced the overall resilience and functionality of the newly constructed high bay warehouse. The project exemplifies our commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions that meet both client needs and regulatory requirements.

New Extension to an existing
glass production facility
Project Overview
The project aimed to expand the site’s capacity without disrupting the ongoing operations of the facility. Given the complexity of the site, with its limited space and proximity to both the public highway and a canal, planning and execution were critical to the project’s success.
Design & Engineering
Our design and engineering teams collaborated closely to navigate the spatial constraints. Safety was paramount, with innovative access solutions implemented to ensure that construction did not interfere with the daily workings of the facility. The project included reinforcement of existing structures and the careful integration of new elements to maintain operational efficiency throughout the construction phase.
Conclusion
The extension of the glass production facility has successfully increased output while preserving the integrity of ongoing operations. By overcoming access challenges and employing strategic planning, the project exemplifies efficient project management within tight constraints, setting a benchmark for future expansions.

Multiple Drive-Thru Coffee Outlets
client: Wm Morrison Supermarkets Plc
The design of coffee outlets on existing supermarket car parks
Project Overview
This case study outlines our experience in designing coffee outlets located in existing supermarket car parks across the UK, from Yeovil to Edinburgh. The project involved creating standardised building designs while accommodating the unique characteristics of each site.
Design & Engineering
Our team faced the challenge of implementing a uniform design across various locations with differing sizes, layouts, and unexpected ground conditions. Each site presented unique obstacles, such as dealing with unexploded ordnance (UXO) in certain areas, which required careful planning and innovative engineering solutions. The collaborative approach allowed us to adapt our designs while maintaining brand consistency and ensuring functionality for our clients.
Conclusion
Working on multiple sites from Yeovil to Edinburgh illustrates our ability to tackle the complexities of varied site conditions in designing coffee outlets. Our focus on standardised building designs, combined with a flexible approach to the unique challenges encountered, ensured the successful delivery of high-quality outlets that enhance the customer experience while achieving operational efficiency.
