About

Freight Haulage Limited, a subsidiary of the H.W. Richardson Group, required a purpose-built bulk storage facility to expand their freight and materials handling operations in Invercargill.

The Challenge

The new build had to connect to an existing 4,000m² facility, also built by Attika, increasing total site capacity and allowing for continuous movement, storage, and handling of bulk feed and product in all weather conditions.

The Attika Approach

Attika partnered with Freight Haulage and H.W. Richardson Group to deliver a highly functional and site-specific bulk store. The design process prioritised material containment, structural durability, and efficient vehicle movement, while accommodating operational continuity during construction.

Key Outcomes

The final solution is a connected, futureproofed facility that supports high-volume throughput, withstands environmental pressures, and reflects the scale and professionalism of one of Southland’s largest freight operators.

  • Purpose-built bulk storage that enhances operational scale and 24/7 functionality.
  • Durable construction tailored to local environmental challenges and site
    constraints.
  • Fully integrated build completed in just 7 months, with no time extensions, despite winter conditions and live-site constraints.
