The industrial manufacturing sector is diverse and covers a range of operations including logistics, warehousing, life sciences and advanced manufacturing.  Recently, this sector has experienced high growth due to the demand for high technological manufacturing facilities, increased production capacity, through to the need of efficient and effective distribution centres supporting online shopping.

We established our strong reputation as a strategic partner through our work on advising Government of suitable sites for gigafactories across the UK.  We are now often engaged at the very initial stages of a project and provide detailed site evaluations, gauging suitability of sites to satisfy the client’s very specific demands.  Once a suitable site has been selected, we can provide the complete scope of engineering services including geotechnical & geo-environmental, civil engineering, structural design, mechanical & electrical engineering and strategic energy.

The competitive nature of this sector demands innovative, efficient and flexible facilities, and our experienced team can quickly develop a detailed understanding of the clients’ specific needs to ensure our designs are aligned.  Frequently working with extremely tight project timescales, we value strong relationships across the wider project team to drive successful delivery.

Projects can vary from new build, refurbishment through to change of use; therefore, detailed knowledge of process, equipment and utilities (for example, power and data connectivity) is key to adding value to our clients.
