JTW Auto Parts – Vehicle Dismantling, Warehouse & Office Facility

Scope of Works

Shelford Constructions delivered the design and construction of the JTW Auto Parts facility, including:

• Approximately 3,135m² of total building area
• 300m² office
• Main parts storage warehouse
• 361m² dedicated vehicle dismantling facility
• On-site cast concrete panel construction
• Concrete flooring
• Concrete hardstands
• Extensive recycled road-base external storage areas
• Staff and visitor parking
• Associated external works

Key Features

Purpose-Built Vehicle Dismantling Facility

One of the most distinctive elements of the project is the 361m² standalone dismantling building.

Rather than treating vehicle dismantling as simply another warehouse operation, the facility provides a dedicated environment specifically designed around JTW Auto Parts' processes.

Systems were incorporated to safely capture and manage waste materials generated during vehicle dismantling, supporting a cleaner and more controlled working environment.

Extensive Parts Storage

The main warehouse provides substantial storage capacity for thousands of vehicle parts, supporting JTW Auto Parts' inventory and distribution requirements.

Its layout forms part of a broader site plan designed around the movement, dismantling, storage and management of vehicles and components.

Large-Scale External Operations Area

A significant proportion of the 24,870m² site is dedicated to external operational requirements.

Approximately 21,735m² of recycled road base provides space for the storage of vehicle bodies, complemented by concrete hardstands around the warehouse and dismantling building.

Durable Industrial Construction

On-site cast concrete panels and concrete floors were selected to provide a robust building solution suited to the demands of the facility.

The material selection combines durability and functionality with a professional appearance appropriate for a modern industrial operation.

Construction Challenges

Concurrent Design & Construction

The project was delivered within a tight programme, with design and construction activities progressing concurrently.

This required close coordination between Shelford's in-house design and construction teams to ensure documentation, procurement and site works continued to progress without compromising the overall delivery programme.

Despite the compressed timeframe and specialised operational requirements of the facility, Shelford successfully completed the project on time.
