  • Client: H. Forman & Sons
  • Competitive tender bid
  • £4.7m Design and Build project with novated consultant team
  • 45 week programme
  • Tight deadline for construction as existing factory schedule for demolition in October 2007

Phelan Construction have recently completed a £4.7m 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 site is bounded by the River Lea Navigation and is sandwiched between two existing buildings, which provided a confined and challenging site for the construction team.

The project was associated with the Olympic Delivery Authority and was 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 within the building.

Work began in October 2006 with a 45 week programme.
