Steelwork installation starts on Ferrybridge logistics site

Working on behalf of specialist industrial and logistics developer Mountpark, GMI Construction has started steelwork installation on the former Ferrybridge C Power Station site in West Yorkshire.

Known as Mountpark Ferrybridge, the scheme has secured planning consent for over 150,000m² of industrial, storage and distribution space.

The first unit to be built is a 6,100m² distribution facility pre-let to Warburtons, while a second unit, being built speculatively, will provide 3,700m² of floor space.

Hambleton Steel is fabricating, supplying and erecting the steelwork for the project.

Both buildings are targeting BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and EPC A/A+ ratings. Sustainability features will include roof-mounted photovoltaic panels, air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Brett Huxley, Development Director UK and Ireland at Mountpark, said: “Seeing real progress at this stage of construction is a key moment for the project.

“The strong momentum on site reflects the continued demand for high-quality, sustainable logistics space in strategically located markets. With steel now in the ground, our vision is rapidly becoming a reality.”
