Project Overview
Quinn Glass in-house team constructed a production and distribution facility on a 205-acre site at Ince in North West England, previously the site of Ince B power station. The site provides a comprehensive glass production, filling, storage and distribution service for the drinks industry.
One of only a handful of plants worldwide where bottles can be manufactured and filled on a single site, it features one of the largest automated warehouses in Europe, capable of handling 282,000 pallets of filled and unfilled glass containers.

How we made a difference
Quinn Glass delivered this project through a small internal team, which Plan Ahead supported.
Plan Ahead brought a can-do attitude to the project to rise to any challenges that impacted the overall master plan timeline. The 14 month fast pace project often required multiple what-if programme scenarios being developed, to ensure we could constantly recover time lost due to unforeseen site issues or design changes.
This also involved extensive interfacing of large subcontract packages, including logistical management of the site to ensure all productions achieved their planned outputs.
