Hillington West

The Hillington West masterplan development is the latest in a line of projects that Woolgar Hunter have delivered at Hillington Park. It involves the masterplanning and development of a large swathe of the site that was previously occupied for many years by the Rolls Royce factory, and will create a range of new commercial and light industrial units.

We have provided geo-environmental expertise in the assessment and remedial advice on this brownfield site. Assessment of hydrocarbon risk to the water environment was a key consideration, together with potential remediation costs. We worked closely with the wider design team to develop a cost plan and a viable foundation/ soil movement strategy. The project has now developed through to detailed design stage for the first phase of the works, which involves the construction of three new sub­ divisible steel portal frame units of 131000 ft 2 along with associated site infrastructure. This phase of the works has been taken to detailed design and tender stage and will commence construction imminently.

Phase 1 accounts for around one third of the overall site footprint, which has been masterplanned for further development in due course.
