This project comprised the design and build construction of a single industrial unit totalling some 126,000ft2.
This project was designed as a combination of composite and built up wall and roof cladding, on a structural steel frame, sitting on pad foundations, with an FM2 tolerance reinforced concrete slabs, with 12 docks. The project included all associated external works and drainage along with bypass interceptors, line drains, Envirokerbs, ducting installations for BT and cable suppliers, along with CCTV, signage and external lighting.
The development included the formation of a series of new water attenuation swales, tanks, culverts and ditches that make this site fully SUDS compliant, together with the construction of a new access road into plot 1, drainage and all major services to feed the future developments.
The scheme has been designed in order to achieve a cut and fill balance across the whole development in order to drastically reduce the number of vehicle movements off site. This helped to enhance the environmental benefits of this scheme to the tune of some 100,000 tonnes of aggregate, whilst helping to reduce both congestion on the local road network as well as cutting the associated CO2 impact of this scheme on the environment.
The contract achieved a BREEAM “Very Good” rating and achieved a certificate of ‘Beyond Compliance’ with the Considerate Constructors.
