This project comprises the design and build construction of 2 industrial units totalling some 137,500ft2 which will be sub-divided into 8 individual units.
The development will include extensive site remodelling which will include the removal of 25,000 cubic meters of spoil to achieve the designed plateau level. A series of retaining structures and batters will allow the construction of these composite clad envelopes, on steel frames, on ring beam foundations with heavily reinforced ground bearing slabs, all which have been designed to eliminate the risk of settlement. Internally there are first floor, fully fitted out mezzanine offices above small stair cores and toilets.
