Acton Acton Segro

Project Overview
The Brunel Road, Acton project involved the design and construction of a new industrial development comprising a single modern unit with associated external works and services. Delivered within an established business park environment, the scheme provides contemporary industrial accommodation designed to support a range of occupier requirements. The building incorporates integrated office accommodation and a robust industrial envelope, with servicing and access arrangements configured to support efficient day-to-day operations. As part of the development, a specialist acoustic fence was installed to provide screening between the new industrial unit and neighbouring residential areas. The completed facility contributes new employment space within an established commercial location.

Project Requirements
The client required the delivery of a new-build industrial unit providing flexible accommodation suitable for modern logistics and industrial occupiers. Key objectives included integrating office accommodation within the building, delivering efficient servicing and external works, and ensuring the development responded appropriately to its surroundings. A critical requirement was the inclusion of a specialist acoustic barrier to mitigate potential noise impacts on nearby residential properties. The project needed to be delivered within a defined programme while meeting planning and environmental requirements associated with the site’s context.

Glencar’s Role
Glencar was appointed as main contractor to deliver the design and construction of the industrial unit and associated external works, coordinating all activities through to completion and handover.

Technical & Delivery Challenges
Delivering a new industrial development within close proximity to residential properties required careful consideration of noise mitigation and environmental controls. The integration of a specialist acoustic fence demanded coordination between design, construction and external works to ensure effective screening without compromising site functionality. Managing interfaces between the industrial unit, office accommodation and servicing areas required detailed planning to maintain programme certainty. Working within an established business park also introduced logistical constraints that required careful coordination of deliveries and site access.

Delivery Conditions Addressed
- New-build industrial construction
- Proximity to residential properties
- Acoustic mitigation requirements
- Constrained site logistics
- Integrated office and warehouse functions
- Programme-driven delivery
