Since the beginning of the last century this 33 acre site was the location for a foundry and forge together with engineering facilities used in the production of wheel sets for the rail industry.

BWB were employed by the then land owner Adtranz (now Bombardier) to project manage the retrenchment of the remaining production capability into a 8 acre site within an existing building in order to release the remaining 25 acres for development.

Re-Trenchment:- BWB acting as Project Managers and Structural Designers to led the professional team including Red 4 Architects and Hoare Lee M and E services to obtain planning in order to re-size, re-clad and refurbish the existing 300,000 sq ft building to 120,000 sq ft and provide it with new incoming services, drainage and yard areas.

BWB then tendered and implemented a contract with Taylor-Woodrow construction to undertake the works through a £5.0m contract which was completed whilst maintaining production of the wheel sets.
