New distribution centre for Pineham

Working on behalf of main contractor Buckingham Group, Atlas Ward has started work on a new distribution centre in Pineham, near Northampton.

Atlas Ward is responsible for the design, fabrication and erection of all steelwork for the project.

The structure has an overall footprint in excess of 180,000m² and will require Atlas Ward to erect more than 2,100t of structural steelwork.

Developer ProLogis has already pre-let the distribution centre to one of the leading supermarket chains.

When completed the development will provide approximately 1,500 jobs.
