McLaren Construction Midlands and North transforms coal mine into logistics hubs

McLaren Construction Midlands and North transforms coal mine into logistics hubs

Tóm tắt nội dung

In a transformation of industrial heritage, McLaren Construction Midlands and North announced the completion of Phase 1 of Konect 62, a logistics and industrial development nestled in Knottingley, West Yorkshire.

This development marked the rebirth of the site that once housed the historic Kellingley Colliery, the UK’s last deep mine which ceased operations in 2015.

McLaren, in collaboration with C4 architects, brought to fruition three units spanning the 60-acre first phase of Konect 62. These sustainable units, now available for leasing, hold a promise of generating over 1,500 employment opportunities.

Throughout the delivery of the first phase, McLaren inducted 1,350 individuals onboard, while a total of 138,200 work hours were invested in the construction process.

Phase 1 units include 161,000, 151,000 and 61,000ft2 options alongside a 30-acre service plot, which was delivered with utilities and access to accommodate several Build-to-Suit options.

Embracing a commitment to eco-conscious practices, the development aims to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating by integrating low carbon building design and state-of-the-art technology.

Gary Cramp, the managing director of McLaren Construction Midlands and North, expressed his satisfaction with the project’s progress, emphasising the dedication of the team and subcontractors. “We’re pleased to have delivered Phase 1 of this landmark industrial and logistics hub, for joint venture partners Henderson Park and Cole Waterhouse, of which we’ve received excellent feedback,” he stated. “Our dedicated team and subcontractors worked exceptionally hard to ensure the quality, sustainability and timeliness of the phase.”

David Nuttall, managing director of industrial and logistics at Cole Waterhouse, said: “McLaren has delivered an excellent first phase at Konect 62, exactly 12 months from signing the build contract. The three units and 30-acre plot set the tone for the remainder of the site and firmly establish Konect 62 as a genuine business location. A year ago, the site was featureless, and all traces of the former mine had been cleared. The change today is dramatic, and it is now a first-rate logistics park offering a variety of existing units and Build-to-Suit opportunities.”
