Winvic Construction, along with St Modwen Logistics, has celebrated the first phase of industrial warehouse project in Derby with a ground-breaking ceremony
St Modwen Park Derby will initially see Winvic complete four modern industrial units at the new 67-acre business park in less than 10-months.
Winvic will deliver cut and fill works on the site adjacent to the River Derwent to enable the development plots, build 800m of new road infrastructure, and create more than 20 acres of natural landscaped area to improve the working environment for those working and living close to the park.
Works will be undertaken using two new Volvo EC300EL hybrid excavators which are powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel.
The plant reduces net CO2 emissions by up to 90 percent, and delivers a 17 percent increase in fuel efficiency, while maintaining the performance of diesel equivalent machines.
The delivery of the project includes the design and construction of four buildings, which comprises of:
- Office space
- Mechanical and electrical installations
- The creation of service yards
- Drainage and service works
- Significant landscaping and associated roadworks
Each facility will achieve a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’ and an ‘A’ EPC rating.
‘A high-profile business park’
Winvic project manager, Adam Broadhurst, commented: “Having partnered with St Modwen Logistics on a number of occasions, we already have a great relationship with the company and we work very well together as one team, focusing on the end result.
“This, four-warehouse project in Derby will be delivered in quite a short space of time, but the rapid build illustrates Winvic’s ambition, our team’s experience in the infrastructure and industrial sectors and our exacting programme management skills.
“I’d like to thank the St Modwen team for having confidence in our ability to transform 70-acres of brownfield land into a high-profile business park within just 10-months.”
‘Significant investment and innovation in sustainability’
Richard Carter, senior director at St Modwen Logistics also added: “Our partnership with Winvic strengthens as they continue to deliver St. Modwen Parks to our Swan Standard – a set of industry-leading sustainable development guidelines, with a focus on responsible building practices that meet the needs of our customers and their employees.
“The Park will deliver BREEAM Excellent standard, demonstrating significant investment and innovation in sustainability above current regulation and practice, as well as a number of health, wellbeing and biodiversity enhancements to improve the environment for those working at the Park and those living close by.”
