Phelan makes way for 2012 Olympics!
Phelan Construction have been awarded a multi-million pound design and build project to construct a new Salmon Smokery on a brownfield site in Bow for H. Forman & Son, the oldest established curing company in the UK. The new site is bounded by the River Lea Navigation and is sandwiched between two existing buildings, providing a confined and challenging site for the construction team.
The project is associated with the Olympic Delivery Authority and will be the first business relocation completed in readiness for the 2012 games.
The factory covers 50000 ft2 and incorporates specialist smoking kilns along with extensive fish processing and production areas. There are also offices and a restaurant and visitor centre planned for the building.
The current factory sits within the proposed Olympic Stadium site and is scheduled for demolition in August 2007. Work began in October 2006 with a 36 week programme and Phelan are now nearing completion of this high-profile contract.
