The Project
The first major cheese production investment in the UK for 40 years has led to the construction of a new £6 million facility for South Caernarfon Creameries Ltd. Officially opened by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall in 2016, the cheese production unit at SCC’s Chwilog site near Pwllheli has enabled the company to increase their capacity from 9,500 tonnes to 12,000 tonnes of cheese per annum. McVeigh Projects Ltd supplied and installed the site’s controlled environments, utilising large quantities of Hemsec Control insulated panels within a variety of internal build-ups.
Key information:
- 2000m2 of Hemsec Control 30 fire rated panels, 100 and 125mm thick.
- Extra 500m2 of 50mm thick Hemsec Control wall panels.
- 125mm ceiling panels incorporated into a 30 minute fire rated corridor.
- 7 distinct areas created: Milk processing and storage, Cream and Butter, Cheese processing, Ingredients, Plant, FLT charging & Changing rooms.
