Sandwell's ability to manage the complexity of plant expansions without impeding production has led to major assignments for food processors. Our experience includes projects in dairy, cereal, fresh and processed meats, and bakery mix products. In addition to modernization and expansion projects, we have completed assignments relating to enhanced productivity or efficiency, health and safety design, and process work.

Woolwich Dairy, Orangeville
OntarioPlant expansion
The first phase of expansion for this leading producer of goat's milk cheeses is an additional 10,000 sq. ft. of space for coolers, dry goods storage, loading dock and offices. Processing and packaging changes will follow in 2002. Sandwell is providing full, multi-discipline engineering services for all phases of the expansion.

Kraft Canada Inc., Niagara Falls, Ontario
Shredded Wheat packaging line
Expanding production required extending the existing building and relocating dust collection equipment to allow room for installation of a new packaging line. Sandwell's services included civil, structural, lighting and sprinkler design of the building extension, site supervision, equipment relocation, and design of a new process chilling system to cool the product so that it could be packaged immediately.

Kraft General Foods Canada Inc., Mount Royal, Quebec
Plant improvements
On a range of projects, Sandwell assisted Kraft to solve production bottlenecks and process systemization problems, including health and safety aspects. The plant produces a variety of products, including cheese, pasta, mayonnaise, peanut butter, jam and salad dressings.
