This project represents a generational change to Nolan Meats and is the largest fully automated meat chilling and distribution centre in the southern hemisphere.
McNab has been involved in four stages of flexible cost plus and lump sum contracts to undertake these works, and have provided valuable design management and buildability input. Set at 12m high this distribution centre houses the largest Automated Sorting and Retrieval System (ASRS) facility in the southern hemisphere, and an associated carton conveyor system.
The building incorporates carton palletising, chiller and freezer storage, plate freezers and a loadout facility. The dehumidifier process air fan is VSD controlled, which allows remote access to direct the dehumidified air according to their refrigeration requirement.
