Expansion confirmed at Northamptonshire Rail Freight Terminal

Benniman has been appointed by Prologis UK to deliver a cold store logistics/distribution warehouse at the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) in Northamptonshire.

The new unit, known as DC11, will provide 26,477m² of high-quality warehouse space, with 48 cross docks, a 22m-high haunch height and external amenity areas.

Designed to industry-leading sustainability standards, the scheme will target EPC A+, BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and will be net zero carbon in construction. Caunton Engineering will be fabricating 2,000t of steelwork for the unit.

DC11 forms part of Prologis’s well established park, and follows Benniman’s earlier appointment to deliver the DC8 unit on the site.

Benniman Managing Director Steven Smith said: “The two projects further strengthen our relationship with Prologis, having delivered more than one million square feet of development for them.

“We are proud to be entrusted once again to deliver DC11, which will showcase innovation, build quality and sustainability.”
