Marlborough Drive is the location of a new Regional Distribution Centre built for use by Network Rail. The design and build project was a full turnkey fit out to Network Rail’s corporate guidelines.
The project included a single storey warehouse with two-storey offices attached, parking, service yards, drainage and landscaping on a site totalling 11,807 square feet.
The development incorporated sustainable drainage and ponds. Waste was minimised through design and 99 per cent of waste generated on site was recycled.
This project was the first phase of a masterplan which will see a further 40,000 square feet of lightweight industrial units constructed. The access road had to be completed during phase one’s work, with the drainage and earthworks designed to optimise both phases of the scheme.
A creative approach was required due to the site’s surroundings, close to local residents and businesses. Close collaboration with the local planning authorities and residents led to a development sympathetic to their needs and desired outcomes.
The external visual impact was one of the biggest challenges. Cladding colours, not usually selected for this type of construction, were carefully chosen to blend in with the surroundings and characteristics of the local area.
