Winvic Construction and St Modwen Logistics have started the first phase of a significant project in Derby.
St Modwen Park Derby, which is located off the A52 and close to junction 25 of the M1, will initially see Winvic complete four modern industrial units at the new 67-acre business park in less than 10-months.
It will deliver over 224,000m3 of 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 in order to improve the working environment for those working within and living close to the Park.
Works will be undertaken using two new Volvo EC300EL hybrid excavators – the first of their kind in the UK – which are powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel.
Units D39 (35,467 sq ft warehouse with 4,123 sq ft office accommodation), D54 (49,577 sq ft warehouse with 5,680 sq ft office accommodation), D79 (72,107 sq ft warehouse with 6,886 sq ft office accommodation) and D131 (121,987 sq ft warehouse with 8,962 sq ft office accommodation) will be completed in phases between July and October 2022.
Richard Carter, senior director, construction, at St Modwen Logistics, 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.”
