Steel warehouse aids Port of Immingham expansion

Associated British Ports (ABP) and Viterra, one of the world’s leading grain marketers, are close to completing a new state-of-the-art 46.5m-span portal-framed warehouse at the Humber International Terminal (HIT) at Immingham.

The £10 million investment will create almost 80,000 metric tonnes of undercover storage and is designed to support Viterra’s growing demand for efficient and reliable warehousing for its imported commodities.

Andrew Dawes, ABP, Director of the Humber ports said: “We are thrilled to partner with Viterra on this significant project. This new warehouse, adjacent to deep water berths, will not only increase our storage capacity for Viterra, but also reinforce our position as a leading UK port for the import and export of grain.”

Working on behalf of main contractor CR Reynolds, Elland Steel Structures has fabricated, supplied and erected 400t of galvanized steelwork for the project.
