Caunton Engineering have completed the erection of the steel framework for five buildings on the old Imperial Tobacco factory site in Nottingham, working for main contractor Bowmer and Kirkland. Imperial Tobacco began operating on the site in the early 1970's but after moving to Europe in 2016, the company’s 'Horizon' factory began to be demolished in 2019. The new scheme is called the New Horizon Project, and also known as Power Park, and is a 28 acre, Grade A specification industrial and logistics space
The development team were tasked with recycling 98% of materials through the scheme – this included salvaging steelwork from the existing frame, to crushing the concrete and stone from the demolished building in order to retain it on site to be used as bases, yards and roads. Across the five new units, Caunton Engineering designed, manufactured and installed circa. 1500te of structural steelwork, along with the supply and installation of metal deck to the office areas.
