October 2019 to April 2021

Timeline

The challenge is to ensure the warehouses are GMP compliant, as well as air and water-tight for food and beverage operation. Design considerations should also reflect future expansion plans and their timings. Detailed consultations with insurers conducted before tender ensured fire protection was fully compliant.

Innovation

Engineering detailed design in all disciplines (including Architectural, Civil, Structural, Mechanical and Electrical), cost estimates, tender procurement regarding technical specifications for the plant operation, authority submission and construction management till final hand over of project.

Services by WSP

Kellogg’s have engaged WSP as EPCM consultant for expansion works of two warehouses, reflecting Kellogg’s investment to meet a marked increase in market demand. WSP is also contributing to a study supporting Kellogg’s car park requirements and a future expansion study to inform an overall master planning initiative as part of Kellogg’s business planning in the near future.

Project description

Project location

The Hollenberg Hatchery is a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) facility located in southern Chile.

In addition to increasing production capacity by 50%, this project provides the space and process infrastructure necessary to retain the fish before being transferred to sea cages when sea water temperature is below 6°C (between May and August).

WSP was responsible for the design of the utilities expansion including process water treatment and waste water treatment, heating system, oxygen and feed distribution systems.

Project description

Shanghai, China

Project location

The Transfer Center Pargua is a 40-tanks salmon hatchery for the production of 19 million smolt per year of about 150 g each.

These 40 tanks require a flow of 100 liters of water per second which is collected from deep fresh water wells and deep seawater wells.

The tanks are equipped with individual recirculation aquaculture systems (iRAS) which were design by WSP.

When the project was designed, the individual recirculation system tanks was a pioneering concept which was then successfully implemented.

Client

This confidential client currently operates two facilities within a few kilometers of each other. The primary facility manufactures the base ingredient for the second facility. The second facility takes the base material via bulk truck and then produces two food grade ingredients used in a variety of products such as soft drinks, baked goods, and confectionary items. This study involves conceptual design for increasing capacity of the food grade plant and locating it on the same site as the primary manufacturing to reduce trucking, take advantage of synergies in utility services and capture any waste heat/energy not currently utilized at the primary plant.

Project description

Study to be completed by August 2021

Timeline

WSP has been retained to provide process, mechanical, architectural, structural, civil and electrical assistance to complete the conceptual design and capital cost estimate for the new facility on this brownfield site. WSP will also develop full P&IDs for the process to prepare for the Detailed Design Phase. The facility will be approximately 5000 SM and include offices, shops, warehouse, process and packaging.

Our services

Along with the increase in production capacity, the client will upgrade technologies to state of the art to ensure minimum energy input and maximum yield. The client has prioritized sustainability with a mandate to capture any waste heat/energy, reduce/recycle water within the process, treat and reduce wastewater discharged and incorporate any green technologies that are feasible for the site such as solar panels, geothermal heating/cooling, and others.
