Morris & Spottiswood has completed a £390,000 infrastructure project for Coca-Cola at its East Kilbride plant, enhancing loading efficiency at the busy production facility.

Delivered over a 12-week programme and completed at the end of last year, the project involved the construction of a new dock leveller to improve speed and efficiency of vehicle loading and unloading operations.

The works required a combination of demolition and new-build elements, including area preparation, blockwork permanent formwork construction, and the casting of a new raised concrete slab and ramp. Structural steelwork was installed to support the new loading bay, alongside framing and external wall cladding. The project was completed with the installation of the dock leveller itself.

Delivered within a live operational environment, the works were carefully planned to ensure minimal disruption to day-to-day production and distribution activities at the site.

Paul Beaton, Development Director at Morris & Spottiswood, said: “This project required close coordination and careful delivery within a fully operational manufacturing environment. By combining our structural, civils and building expertise, we were able to deliver a practical solution that will enhance operational efficiency at the East Kilbride plant. We are proud to have completed our first project for Coca-Cola and look forward to developing the relationship further.”
