RWO has worked to support the development of approximately one million sq. ft. of industrial space at one of the most advanced automotive and advanced manufacturing hubs in the UK, providing an undisclosed package of civil engineering services to Town End Farm Partnership.

They are constructing Class B2, B8 and E use industrial units among other assets at the International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP) in Sunderland. Located on a 150-ha site to the north of Nissan and east of the A1290 and hailed as a ‘game changer’ by the local authorities, IAMP will support the region’s economy and is predicted to eventually create upwards of 8,000 jobs.

Our civil engineering brief includes the provision of drainage and flood risk analysis reports together with indicative drainage calculations to bring forward the development of a series of commercial units, including several industrial properties under construction on the southern development section of the site.

These will provide modern warehouse-style space with purpose-built ground floor office accommodation, vehicle and HGV parking facilities along with associated haulage yard space.

MD Ross Oakley said: “We’re clearly delighted to be involved in the vanguard of the park’s ongoing development and expansion; supporting the development of much needed quality industrial development that benefits from investment in excellent engineering and design expertise.”
