Glencar, a prominent construction firm, has been awarded a contract by Logicor to construct a substantial 330,000 square foot warehouse in Little Hulton, Bolton. This appointment marks Glencar’s inaugural collaboration with Logicor, underscoring the firm’s burgeoning reputation in the industry. As part of this ambitious project, Glencar will spearhead the redevelopment of a vast 20-acre site, necessitating the demolition of existing warehouses and the meticulous removal and recycling of hard standings.
A crucial aspect of the project’s preparatory phase includes ground improvement operations across the site, alongside the grouting of mine shafts. These preparatory undertakings pave the way for the commencement of construction on the new warehouse facility. The project is meticulously designed to achieve a BREEAM Outstanding certification alongside an EPC A rating, reflecting a commitment to sustainable building practices.
The design of the warehouse incorporates 311,500 square feet of dedicated warehouse space, enhanced by 18-metre eaves. It is engineered to accommodate robust logistical operations with the provision of 32 dock doors and three-level access doors. Business operations are further supported by a 2,000 square foot hub office and 13,000 square feet of office space spread across three floors.
In alignment with contemporary sustainability standards, the construction plan features several eco-friendly innovations. These include the installation of energy-efficient LED lighting systems, electric vehicle charging points, and a rainwater harvesting setup. These elements collectively contribute to the facility’s sustainability targets, ensuring reduced environmental impact.
The projected timeline for the construction phase is estimated at 54 weeks, with practical completion anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2025. This schedule highlights a structured approach to project execution, ensuring timely delivery while maintaining quality standards.
Glencar’s collaboration with Logicor represents a significant stride in sustainable construction, promising to set new standards in the industry.
