Steelwork milestone reached at Immingham logistics site

Associated British Ports (ABP) has marked a major milestone at its new HELM at Immingham logistics site, with a steel signing event.

Over 650t of structural steel have been installed as part of the first phase (two warehouse units) of development at this 227-acre site, located close to the A180.

In total, the project consists of eight warehouse units, ranging in size from 447m² up to 2,489m² and targeted at small to medium-sized enterprises in energy venture start-ups, port logistics, engineering, manufacturing and distribution.

Working on behalf of ABP and CR Reynolds, Billington Structures is fabricating, supplying and installing the steelwork.

Andrew Dawes, Regional Director of the Humber Ports, said: “This major milestone for the development of these business units is moving at pace, and for ABP is demonstrating our commitment to UK trade and the regional economy.

“We are the Humber’s number one gateway for global commerce, and this steel signing ceremony reinforces our position in continually investing and evolving our port facilities.”

Councillor Philip Jackson, Leader of North East Lincolnshire Council, said: “ABP’s new HELM development will further strengthen the local economy, providing additional quality business units in a much-desired industrial area close to the Port of Immingham, allowing businesses to take advantage of what we have in North East Lincolnshire.”
