Barton Business Park, Burton on Trent
2008
Warehouse and distribution units used to be something that developers could build quickly, cheaply and with little regard for energy waste or sustainability. However, as government legislation starts to take hold and clients begin to realise and appreciate the benefits of having energy efficient buildings, the ‘shed’ sector has to up its game to attract tenants.
Barton Business Park Ltd embarked on the construction of it’s latest addition, a 13,000 sqm single storey warehouse and industrial space, with 930 sqm of two storey office accommodation and associated service yard and parking facilities.
Stephen George and Partners began working on the site in 2004 and it is still involved in feasibilities for neighbouring plots. This project took just over six months to complete, starting on site in May 2006 and finishing in December of the same year. In addition to the building’s sustainable credentials, the site is also reclaimed from previously contaminated industrial land.
“Corus Panels and Profiles products were used because of their ability to assist in obtaining the Part L requirements, because they have a good guarantee, are easy to maintain and are competitively priced. The off-site fabrication of the composite roof panels also cuts down on waste and makes them faster to install.”
