Liverpool Alexandra Dock Warehouses 6 & 7, Liverpool

Project Overview

Glencar is delivering a bulk storage warehouse construction project for Peel Ports Group at Alexandra Dock, within the operational Port of Liverpool.

The two portside warehouses, designated Warehouses 6 & 7, will provide approximately 131,730 sq ft of accommodation with a combined storage capacity of 60,000 tonnes. The multi-user facilities are designed to accommodate dry bulk commodities, including grain, animal feed and agricultural products.

The development continues Glencar’s relationship with Peel Ports Group, following a previous 240,000 sq ft warehouse at Alexandra Dock, infrastructure works at QEII Dock and the completion of Grandidges Quay in Birkenhead in May 2026.

Our Scope

Glencar’s scope combines civil engineering and infrastructure with the construction of both warehouses and their associated external works.

• Ground preparation: earthworks and ground reinforcement to support the development.


• Piling and foundations: CFA and rotary piling, pile caps and associated foundation works.


• Warehouse construction: two specialist buildings incorporating ATEX and TASCC design requirements for their intended use.


• Infrastructure and external works: drainage, services and access arrangements connecting the facilities to the existing port estate.

A single delivery programme brings together the groundworks, infrastructure and building construction, allowing the team to coordinate the interfaces between below-ground works and the finished facilities.

Bulk Storage Warehouse Construction

Construction within an operational port requires careful planning of site activities, vehicle movements and infrastructure connections around established operations. These interfaces inform the sequencing of groundworks, structural works and external infrastructure.

The buildings’ intended use also brings specialist requirements. ATEX and TASCC design considerations inform the coordination of the warehouse accommodation and services for dry bulk storage.

The development is targeting BREEAM Good certification. Warehouse roof structures are also designed to accommodate future photovoltaic installations.

Expected Outcome

Scheduled for completion in spring 2027, Alexandra Dock Warehouses 6 & 7 will provide approximately 60,000 tonnes of additional bulk storage capacity.

The new facilities will increase storage options for Peel Ports and its customers, with associated infrastructure connecting both warehouses to the existing operational estate.
