Silcock Leedham were appointed by Somerfield as their consulting engineers and technical advisers for their 260,000m3 multi-temperature North West distribution centre in St. Helens, Merseyside.  We were also responsible for the technical compliance, design and monitoring of the refrigeration system and insulated structures.

Working in conjunction with the refrigeration contractor, we developed a method of minimising frost and condensation build-up within the temperature controlled spaces. This was done by using specialist de-humidification equipment within the loading / unloading docks and marshalling areas.
