Winvic completes series of works at SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton - including two industrial facilities

Winvic Construction Ltd has completed the civils and infrastructure programme, as well as two industrial facilities, at SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton.

SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton is a strategic logistics hub combining modern warehousing, rail freight connectivity and extensive transport infrastructure.

Over the last five years, Winvic has completed a comprehensive programme of civils and infrastructure works across the site, supporting the transformation of the land into a major logistics destination.

The works include the construction of the Roade Bypass bridge and associated highways works, a new 2.6km bypass for Roade village incorporating bridge and roundabout construction, significant earthworks and associated infrastructure to facilitate the wider strategic rail freight interchange and logistics development.

Further development included the creation of the site’s Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (SRFI), featuring a dedicated 35-acre rail terminal and an intermodal and HGV slab. The works also featured the construction of a 170-metre-long tunnel shielding trains entering and exiting the terminal.

Alongside the civils and infrastructure programme, Winvic also completed Plot 7, a 2.3 million sq ft distribution facility, for a major online retailer and Plot 4 for end user Yusen Logistics. The 1.2 million sq ft industrial and logistics facility is the first operational building at the park and comprises a 1.14 million sq ft ground floor warehouse and a 333,251 sq ft mezzanine. 

Rob Cook, managing director for civils and infrastructure at Winvic, said: "Completing the civils and infrastructure programme at SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton is a significant achievement for Winvic and reflects years of collaborative working with our long-standing client SEGRO.

"This has been a highly complex and nationally significant project, involving major highways improvements, strategic rail infrastructure and extensive enabling works, all delivered in live operational environments and alongside the ongoing development of the wider park, while carefully minimising disruption to ongoing operations and the surrounding area.

"Our teams have worked collaboratively to deliver infrastructure that will support more sustainable freight connectivity, unlock economic growth and create long-term value for the region. We are extremely proud of the role Winvic has played in helping bring this nationally important development forward."

Located adjacent to Junction 15 and four miles south of Northampton town centre, SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton will ultimately provide up to five million sq ft of industrial and logistics space alongside its now operational strategic rail freight interchange and is expected to create about 7,450 jobs.

Kate Bedson, senior director, national markets at SEGRO, said: "We're hugely proud of the progress that has been made over the last five years, from the completion of the rail terminal, bypass, and motorway junction improvements to the first buildings going up. 

"It's even more exciting that our investment to create this amazing facility already has its first occupiers, helping move goods, drive growth, and create jobs."
