Caunton have recently been involved with the building of a particularly large new Tesco Extra Store in Newport, Wales. It is in fact a replacement store – the existing one having been demolished. It is part of a major redevelopment of the Newport Retail Park District Centre at Spytty Road. The scheme provides an on-site replacement store of over a hundred thousand square feet. The store has been re-orientated to face towards the main body of the retail park and will also include 16 concession units, which will assist in strengthening the role of the District Centre. As with both Chesterfield (web site news 23.02.10) and Walsall (web site news 9.06.10), the two most recent Tesco stores using Caunton steelwork, the car parking will be located in the under croft- -an increasingly popular feature of Tesco stores.

The scheme has achieved a ‘very good’ BREEAM rating and is one of Wales’ most sustainable food stores. Caunton designed, supplied and erected 1750te of steelwork for main contractor Vinci.
