Trusses form North Wales pharmaceutical expansion

Structural steelwork is playing a leading role in the construction of a £75M expansion at the Ipsen plant in Wrexham.

The company undertakes research and development (R&D), and manufacturing to produce medicines to treat neurological conditions.

The investment is funding a new state-of-the-art facility, said to be built using the latest in environmentally sustainable technologies that will enhance the production of Ipsen medicines in the UK.

Part of the three-storey steel-framed building is being formed with a series of 30t trusses, which have been lifted into place using two mobile cranes.

Rhyl-based EvadX is fabricating, supplying and erecting the steelwork for the project.
