About This Project
Project Description
Located on the site of the former Shop Direct Fulfilment Distribution Centre, Bolt330 is a 330,000 sq ft logistics facility constructed to shell and core specification, with CAT A office provision. Designed to meet the demands of modern, high-performance supply chains, the development targets BREEAM Outstanding and EPC A+ ratings. It incorporates a range of advanced sustainability features, including solar PV panels, a living green roof, and rainwater harvesting systems. Glencar delivered the project in full — from complex enabling works through to final completion, creating an environmentally efficient and operationally resilient distribution hub.
Scope of works
Glencar oversaw and executed all elements of the build. Our comprehensive scope included:
-Demolition of the existing warehouse and removal of hardstanding.
-Grouting of historical mineshafts to ensure ground stability.
-Ground improvement using vibro stone column (VSC) technology.
-Construction of a 330,000 sq ft warehouse to shell and core.
-Delivery of CAT A office accommodation to Grade A standard.
-Installation of associated incoming utilities and infrastructure.
Civils Focus
Glencar transformed this former maritime container yard into a development-ready logistics site through earthworks, site remediation, and advanced ground improvement techniques. The project required grouting, vibro stone columns (VSC), and a cut/fill optimisation strategy to ensure long-term site stability.
Key Civils and Infrastructure Works
- 70,000m³ of Material Moved – Cut/fill strategy ensured site balance, with 15,000m³ of site-won material crushed into 6F2 aggregate for reuse.
- Grouting and Mine Stabilisation – 492 boreholes (10m-40.4m deep) filled with 102 tonnes of grout to mitigate historical coal seam risks.
- Vibro Stone Columns (VSC) – 7,776 VSCs installed, reinforcing both cut and fill areas with 4,700 tonnes of aggregate.
