Prestige clients such as The Wine Society demand quality fabrications – and the 46m space frame built at Caunton’s Works is no exception. This girder weighing 22te and photographed here in the Caunton assembly shop, was fabricated in three major sections and erected, and then conjoined in the air, utilising three crawler cranes. The girder rests in its final position (in section) as a right angle triangle with the hypotenuse supporting translucent sheeting for illuminating the wine warehouse below. Another suitable and eco-friendly feature of this major storage facility is the use of hempcrete walls, whose porosity helps to maintain the necessity humidity for successful wine storage.
