Vaughan builds award-winning facility for Woolworths
Woolworths, in partnership with European-based food distribution company Hilton Food Group, engaged Vaughan Constructions to build Woolworths’ primary meat and distribution facility for Victoria in Truganina.
The 27,000 m2 facility, which won the Master Builders Association Award for Excellence in Construction of Industrial Buildings, is regarded as a benchmark globally and the reference point to similar facilities planned across the country.
The project includes a 6200 m2 production and processing area, a 9510 m2 warehouse/storage area, a 6800 m2 mezzanine storage/technical department and a 2300 m2 office/hygiene area.
The core of the building’s design is the robotic and conveyor system. Meat is transported from the production area to the warehouse via a series of conveyors before being sorted and stacked by robots ready for dispatch.
The refrigeration system utilises a centralised ammonia refrigeration plant and services the refrigerated areas via secondary glycol refrigerant. In addition, a roof-mounted CO2 system controls a -25° storage freezer.
The entire building is controlled and monitored by a SCADA system which provides control of remote equipment and monitors operation 24 hours a day.
