Wiltshire Grain is a farmer-owned, professionally managed cooperative, run for the benefit of its members to add value to their businesses. The cooperative and central storage was launched in 1984 with just 52 members. The initial storage capacity of 20,000 tonnes was constructed by T H White Projects.

The first phase of new plant development followed in 1997 and various phases have followed. The facility now provides a 101,000 tonne capacity to 152 members. In recent years, European grant-funding was obtained, allowing for the phased design approach to be completed and future-proofed to support their steadily growing membership and, of course, the recent increase in supply demand.

Throughout the various phases, T H WHITE Projects conceptualised the designs, planned and implemented the build, whilst also acting as the principal contractor through the various commissioning and customer hand-over stages.

In summary

Because of T H WHITE Projects’ unique technical knowledge and experience levels, they could design and construct this prestigious facility on a planned, phased basis over an extensive period, as funding became available.

Their design and engineering team worked closely with the customer, thus ensuring a level of forward-thinking.

This made this future-proofing challenge a very simple task.
