Steel-framed warehouse for The Range completes in Suffolk
Requiring more than 3,500t of structural steelwork and comprising a seven-span portal measuring 408m-long x 269m-wide, a new warehouse for The Range has been completed.
Delivering significant economic boost to the Mid-Suffolk region, the warehouse is the first unit on the Gateway 14 development near Stowmarket.
Adjacent to Junction 50 of the A14, Gateway 14 is said to be the largest business, innovation and logistics park in East Anglia, with plans in place for a variety of other units.
Working on behalf of main contractor Winvic Construction, Caunton Engineering fabricated, supplied and erected the project’s steelwork.
Gateway 14 Chair, Sir Christopher Haworth, said: “This is a great day for Stowmarket and the surrounding region. Not only does it bring over 1,600 jobs to this prime location, but it also delivers the first building on the new highly sustainable, mixed-use Gateway 14 development. We already have further strong interest in the park and expect to be able to identify new occupiers in the near future.”
