Caunton Engineering has recently completed the erection of the steelwork for a major new distribution warehouse near Bristol. The project, for client Innovate Holdings, is constructed at Cabot Park where the contractor is Innovate Construction, a member of the Innovate Holdings Group of course. The project manager is Mirus Management Services. Caunton are employed in a design-and-build role.

Cabot Park will be the largest purpose built multi-modal distribution park in the UK when completed. It encompasses a new rail terminal, the deep water facilities of Bristol Port immediately next door, and ready access to the M5 and the Bristol road infrastructure.

Caunton’s steelwork is framing a three bay warehouse of 150,000 sq feet footprint, and a three storey office block of 9000sq feet. The design allows the flexibility of a ready conversion of the building to a cold store if so required. Architect is Enhance Building Design and consulting engineer Cameron Taylor.

The site is over 150 hectares in area so there will be substantial opportunities for new occupiers. Caunton recognise two of the existing occupants however - Honda and Next- both of whom are regular clients of the company – please see details on the Caunton Website News.
