Engineering Solutions - Delivering Efficiencies

Renowned across the dairy processing sectors, FMA successfully commissioned all five key phases of Dairy Crest’s 'Super Dairy' at Severnside, Gloucestershire.

With a contract worth approximately 30% of the £39 million overall investment at the Dairy Crest Severnside site, FMA’s remit embraced all aspects of process design and supply.

This included the implementation of state-of-the-art process control and management reporting, with all control systems developed in house by FMA. Due to business-critical deadlines set by Dairy Crest, it was necessary to fast-track the design, installation and commissioning stages.

Scope of project:

• Streamlined phasing of 5 project stages over 2-year period
• Fast-track design, installation and commissioning
• Comprehensive process design, management and implantation capabilities
• Design and development of all control systems
• Control systems from multiple 'Best of Breed' vendors
• Extensive use of industrial communications
• Integration of process plant from other Dairy Crest sites
