Indurent, a leading developer and operator of industrial and logistics space across the UK, has completed and handed over a c. 13,750m2 state-of-the-art warehouse facility for Rolls-Royce.
The bespoke storage facility, which is located at Indurent Park Derby, will support the company’s significant manufacturing operation in Derby and increase space in its operational areas.
The unit has been built to the highest sustainability standards, achieving a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ accreditation and an EPC A+ rating for energy efficiency. The Indurent team worked closely with Rolls-Royce throughout the design and build process, with the specification being adapted to meet Rolls-Royce exact needs, including enhanced floor loading three times greater than a standard floor, the installation of a single 12m high door and 100-ton capacity crane for the movement of valuable heavy parts.
The facility is equipped with 1MV of power with solar panels installed across the roof space for on-site power generation to reduce energy costs. Indurent has also overseen the delivery and installation of bespoke climate control and lighting systems in the warehouse.
Indurent Park Derby is a c. 20.2ha industrial park and one the Midlands’ leading hubs for high-tech R&D and manufacturing and logistics. In addition to Rolls-Royce, it is home to heat pump manufacturer Vaillant and Swedish medical technology company Getinge, which has established a Global Centre of Excellence for Chemistry at the park alongside its UK headquarters. Kia has also established their national base for training and development associated with their market leading range of electric vehicles.
Located adjacent to the A52 with direct access to the A38, A50 and nearby M1 motorway, and just 13 miles from East Midlands airport, Indurent Park Derby provides strong transport links and access to a large skilled workforce.
Rob Richardson, Development Director at Indurent, commented: “We are extremely proud to complete and hand over this state-of-the-art facility for Rolls-Royce, a globally renowned company which is at the forefront of innovation in manufacturing. The arrival of Rolls-Royce to Indurent Park Derby adds to the cluster of high-tech R&D and manufacturing businesses in Derby and underlines that the development of versatile industrial and logistics space, with the availability of a large amount of power, is critical for supporting high-growth sectors, creating a diverse mix of employment and boosting local economies.”
Terry Meighan, Infrastructure Director at Rolls-Royce, added: “The project was delivered on time and on budget but, most importantly, it was done safely. This facility is key to delivering our wider site redevelopment work and is the first of our significant builds to be completed.”
Winvic Construction was the lead contractor for Indurent on the unit, who were supported by Wakemans as project manager.
