Winvic up and running with 250,000 sq ft Rugby shed
Working for Newlands Developments, the contractor has started a 60-week build programme at Coton Park, within the UK logistics market’s Golden Triangle.
This project sees Winvic return to Coton Park, where the company previously delivered a pair of distribution units at plots 2 and 3, bringing existing knowledge of the site’s infrastructure to support delivery of the latest phase.
The new facility will include 15,000 sq ft of office accommodation and will consist of a structural steel, multi-span portal frame with a height of 15m. A BREEAM Excellent certification and an EPC rating of A/A+ are being targeted.
As part of the infrastructure and enabling works, Winvic used a 350-tonne crane to install a 34m ex-Ministry of Defence tank bridge, to span a 457mm high-pressure gas main, a critical element of the works to enable access onto the site.
To further progress works, Winvic is constructing a Filcor road that will wrap around a 54m long 4m x 2m culvert, with traditional construction methods not possible due to the loadings.
Danny Nelson, managing director of industrial, distribution and logistics at Winvic, said: “We’re proud to continue our partnership with Newlands Developments to deliver this at Coton Park, Rugby.
“Working with partners, our solution to overcome the complex challenges of this site brought by the gas main, highlights our commitment to safety and a collaborative culture.
“Marking the start of construction with a groundbreaking ceremony is always a proud moment, and we now look forward to delivering a high-quality facility that meets our client’s needs and supports continued growth in this key logistics location.”
Coton Park is located 3.7 miles from junction 19 of the M1 and fronts the M6, giving direct connectivity to Coventry and Birmingham and other major routes.
