Pet Food Projects Bin Collection Structural Design (in partnership with MNS Solutions)
Client: MNS Solutions (Primary Contractor)
Industry: Food Manufacturing
Service: Structural Design & Engineering Proposal Development
At Applied Project, we specialise in developing innovative, practical, and professionally engineered solutions for complex structural challenges. One such engagement was our collaboration with MNS Solutions on a structural design proposal for Pet Food Projects’ bin collection system.
While the project ultimately did not proceed due to changes in the end client’s strategic direction, the solution we delivered demonstrated our capability to approach unique challenges with technical depth, creativity, and forward-thinking engineering.
Project Background
MNS Solutions, the primary contractors for the facility development, engaged Applied Project to design a structural solution for a high-volume bin collection system within Pet Food Projects’ operating environment.
The system required:
Efficient handling of large quantities of pet-food bins
Compliance with relevant industry and safety standards
Seamless integration with the broader facility layout
A structurally sound design capable of supporting dynamic and environmental loads
Consideration for future scalability
Our Approach
We began with a comprehensive assessment of the project requirements, constraints, and site conditions. Working closely with MNS Solutions, we ensured clear alignment with their project objectives and design parameters.
Our engineering team focused on:
Advanced structural analysis to validate load-bearing requirements and operational durability
Modular design principles enabling scalable upgrades and minimal operational disruption
Practical constructability to support efficient installation and maintenance
Risk-based design improvements identified early through collaborative workshops
Throughout the proposal development, we maintained consistent communication with MNS Solutions, ensuring budget, timeline, and integration requirements were fully supported.
Outcome
Although Pet Food Projects chose not to proceed with this stage due to internal strategy changes, the solution we developed exceeded initial expectations for innovation, safety, and functionality.
As our lead structural engineer noted:
“This project showcased our team’s ability to merge technical expertise with creative problem-solving. The proposed structural system was both robust and future-proof.”
The proposal stands as a strong example of our capacity to produce high-value engineering outcomes, even in a shifting project landscape.
Value Delivered
A structurally optimised, modular bin collection system concept
Early-stage risk mitigation through analysis and upfront collaboration
