Mountpark Logistics - Tuscany Way

Foundation/Frame/Envelope

The high-performance slab is designed for 50 kN/m2 floor loading with FM2 flatness tolerance and the frame is a twin portal providing 12m clear internal height.

From the vehicle yard, 12 dock-level access doors and 2 level access doors service the warehouse accommodation, with the site itself secured by a gatehouse, barriers and security fencing.

The site required lime stabilisation to provide a development plateau suitable for the designed loadings and a large attenuation provision. In order to avoid unnecessary costs from muck-away, a temporary borrow pit was utilised.

Environmental Performance

Energy performance formed a significant part of this scheme, and EPC ‘B’ was achieved through a fabric-first approach to air tightness and insulation; daylighting is achieved through 15% coverage from triple skin roof lights.
