A Complex Undertaking in a Live Facility While the scope of work may appear straightforward, involving the re-cladding of the Coffee Tower, the logistical complexities make this a project of significant strategic importance. The Coffee Tower is not just a structural element of the campus; it also serves as a live storage facility at the ground floor, storing essential products that must remain operational throughout the entire project lifecycle. Maintaining Twinings' business continuity and ensuring zero disruption to their day-to-day operations will be key considerations as we move forward.
Our Role: Comprehensive Project Support Cliftons Projects’ multi-faceted role in this venture highlights our holistic approach to project delivery:
Project Management : We will oversee the entire project, ensuring that timelines, budget, and quality standards are achieved while maintaining clear communication with all stakeholders.
Cost Consultancy : Acting as cost consultants, we will develop detailed cost plans and offer robust financial oversight to ensure the project remains within the anticipated budget of approximately £1.2m.
Balancing Innovation and Practicality Re-cladding a live storage tower requires meticulous planning and innovative solutions. Our team will work closely with Twinings and the appointed contractors to develop a phased approach, ensuring that key access points and operational workflows remain unaffected. Particular attention will be given to mitigating environmental risks, such as noise and dust control, to safeguard stored products and maintain optimal working conditions.
Anticipated Outcomes and Next Steps Pending final funding approval, the re-cladding project is set to commence, reflecting Twinings' commitment to enhancing the longevity and performance of their infrastructure. By upgrading the Coffee Tower’s external envelope, the facility will benefit from improved thermal efficiency, weather resistance, and an enhanced visual presence that aligns with Twinings' heritage of excellence.
At Cliftons Projects, we are excited to be part of this journey, bringing our expertise in managing complex live-site projects to support Twinings’ operational goals. We look forward to collaborating with the Twinings team to deliver a seamless project that upholds the brand's prestigious legacy.
