Findel Complex
A 300,000ft2 industrial complex comprising modern warehouses, low-rise office buildings and a supporting yard, along with soft landscaping and carparking.
Key features
Detailed appraisal of foundation options
Highly challenging ground conditions (up to 5m of organic peat) required detailed appraisals of foundation options, with ground improvements using rigid inclusions.
Superstructure options assessed
Superstructure options were assessed for the three building typologies, with timber and hybrid options assessed for internal office areas to reduce embodied carbon.
Coordination with key site constraints
The site is adjacent to the M60 as well as Network Rail lines, and overhead power lines run through the site, as such, detailed coordination and Section 278 works were carried out.
Levels design
Challenging levels design to minimise amount of waste removed from site, while incorporating SuDS including attenuation and permeable paving.
Geotechnical assessments
Slope stability and initial settlement analyses for the warehouse floors were conducted.
