We have completed a structural and civil engineering contract to support the development of a major new business incubation hub in South Yorkshire.
Working in partnership with design and build contractor Esh Construction and architects The Harris Partnership, the project saw us provide services for the latest phase of the Rotherham hub. This is a major commercial development that is creating new jobs and providing 20 workshops, 16 office units and two laboratories for dozens of micro and start-up businesses.
Located just off the A6195 at Wombwell, with good connection links to the M1 and A1, the hub will utilise the latest building information modelling (BIM) techniques to deliver the highest levels of energy efficiency and sustainability. This includes a building and renewable heating system incorporated within the office spaces via air source heat pumps.
Andrew Fairburn, head of our Leeds office, said: “We look forward to developing our partnership with Esh and support its plans for the delivery of ambitious development projects with unparalleled technical advice, skills and engineering excellence. This latest completion comes at a time when we foresee continued strong growth in 2023 with a pipeline of forward orders and enquiries from across the country.”
Esh’s operations director, Paul Waller, said: “We were delighted to work with RWO on a facility that allows businesses to become more successful and sustainable, contributing to a boost in local employment and the economy. Their engineering design experience and technical capabilities ensure the hub is being delivered to the highest standards of quality and on time.”
