Global transport and logistics company DSV has engaged Winvic Construction Ltd – a leading main contractor that specialises in the design and delivery of multi-sector construction and civil engineering projects – to design, construct and partially fit out its new industrial facility at Mercia Park in North West Leicestershire. The Winvic team has started on site and the project is due to reach practical completion at the end of August 2021.

The industrial scheme comprises three buildings and has 34 dock levellers:

• A 358,000 sq ft steel-framed warehouse containing three mezzanine floors and two single-storey hub offices totalling 4,360 sq ft

• A 112,000 sq ft cross-dock terminal that contains a 7,050 sq ft single-storey hub office

• A 35,660 sq ft three-storey office building

Winvic will be fitting out all of the office spaces to a high quality and the large stand-alone office building meets DSV’s global design standard. Prominent design features include a glass lift, wood panelled walls in an oak finish and a feature staircase. The external works package includes 381,700 sq ft yard space plus car parking for 406 vehicles, and the programme contains all drainage, retaining wall and hard and soft landscaping works.

The project’s progress can be followed via the timelapse cameras streamed on Winvic Live.

This news follows the announcement that Winvic was appointed by IM Properties to undertake the civils and infrastructure works at the 238-acre employment park, which is located adjacent to junction 11 of the M42.
