T H WHITE Projects was commissioned during 2015 by the Forest of Bere Estate in Hampshire to review its existing onsite facilities, with a view to replacing them with a modern day, fully operational arrangement suitable to the estate’s functionality.

With the new design and layout agreed and planning approved, the development proceeded with two parallel sets of building structures. The main one was the new grain store solution, capable of holding 3,000 tonnes of combinable crops within four 750-tonne bunkers.

The 60m x 25m structure has a central dividing wall, with two bunkers on either side. It has the ability to dry the grain via two sets of hardwood floors, fed by central air ducts and a pair of fan housings to the rear of the building.

The juniper green clad grain store is one of several new farm machinery and operating buildings, constructed as part of the project, with the grain store being complemented by an independent control room/office and weighbridge.

In summary

Achieving the customer’s goal of a new grain store and machinery buildings with a future-proof approach has been gained by carefully listening and understanding the client’s aspirations and then using our depth of knowledge and experience to design and construct his vision to become a reality.
