Summary
Bonded warehouses and infrastructure work
Between 2012 and 2022, Robertson has delivered an extensive programme of bonded warehouses and infrastructure work across eight phases for international premium drinks company Edrington.
- 16 warehouses in total;
- around £90m total value;
- and over a decade of partnership.
Our long-standing relationship is built on our understanding of the distillery sector and the quality we bring to each project. During this partnership, we also delivered The Macallan distillery and visitor experience, an iconic £140m project for Edrington.
Specialist warehouses for whisky
The eight phases range in value from £10m to £13m. Phase 7 was a £12.4m project completed in 2021, and like each phase of the project, it comprised:
- two 6,500 m2 bonded maturation warehouses,
- sprinkler fire protection system,
- racking to house up to 50,000 whisky casks.
Civil engineering and infrastructure for warehouses
In 2016–2017, in addition to two cask storage warehouses, we constructed a new tank farm, filling/disgorging store and an amenity building, as well as all associated civil and infrastructure works.
At the start of the project in 2012, Robertson also delivered significant work to create the infrastructure necessary to support the 16 warehouses that were to follow. This comprised:
- large site scrape,
- bulk excavation,
- 8,500 m² of concrete roads,
- 2,000 m of drainage pipes up to 4.5 m deep,
- and an extensive high voltage distribution network.
Blyth & Blyth led the consultancy for design civil and structural engineering and building services.
Robertson Northern led the delivery of the warehouses and associated buildings.
Robertson Civil Engineering provided extensive earthworks and infrastructure.
