7 x 500,000 Ltr Fermenter Vessels, William Grant Distillery, Scotland

The job as said above was for supply of 7 no large diameter (7.1mtr ) Alcohol Fermentation Vessels weighing 24Ton each when completed for a site in Scotland . Due to the a number of factors such as client specifications , site footprint and working environment , Planning Restrictions , Transport / Infrastructure Restrictions such as below .

We had to prefab the tops and bottoms of the tanks in our workshop and then split them in half for transport under large / abnormal load transport permit conditions.

Then assemble a crew/ team of men to travel to site for extended periods of time and reassemble the prefabricated parts and weld and polish the seam welds to GMP standards which are common for the food & beverage industry .
