This warehouse is for the storage of unrefined sugar and off-season, rolled steel-coils. It involves the design of buttress walls that can withstand a lateral load of up to 10 tonnes and a floor slab able to take loads of up to 20 tonnes. It also incorporates a sequence of substructure tunnels, 3.4m wide, to accommodate part of the conveyor system by which the sugar is moved. Ancillary steel-frame structures of the hopper/weigh scale and tilter sheds were also provided.
