Bowmer & Kirkland

Bowmer & Kirkland, founded in 1923, has grown to be one of the largest and most successful privately owned construction, engineering and development groups in the UK as a result of their commitment to client satisfaction. The company focuses on the construction services to the building industry, delivering new and refurbished buildings throughout the UK from inception through to completion.

The Project – Project Spark

The project comprised of the construction of a new, purpose built distribution facility for Henry Boot Developments Ltd on their Markham Vale site at Chesterfield. Procured under a single stage competitive tender process, Bowmer & Kirkland took full responsibility for the design and construction of the project.

With a ground floor footprint of 200,000 sq ft, the majority of the development was dedicated to high bay warehousing for Ferdinand Bilstein’s automative parts business.

The warehouse area was divided between traditional wide aisle racking areas adjacent to a fully automated ‘mini-load’ ASRS system which placed unusually heavy loads on the warehouse slab and substructure.

Results

Why did Bowmer & Kirkland use time lapse and how was their experience with Time Lapse UK?

We spoke with Steve Hudson, Senior Contracts Manager at Bowmer & Kirkland:

“The time lapse photography of the project was a requirement of Henry Boot Developments. Time Lapse UK are an extremely friendly, client focused company who will go the extra yards to ensure customer satisfaction. Their assistance in the locating of cameras and response to any issues is second to none.

The end product is great and allows you to edit your film how you choose for your own marketing requirements. I will definitely be considering Time Lapse UK for any future projects requiring time lapse.”
