Project Overview
Phase 2, Unit B at Greenogue Logistics Park involved the fit-out of a 90,000 sq ft warehouse facility for Wincanton and IKEA. The works were delivered as a focused, fast-track package designed to support high-volume logistics operations within an operational distribution environment.
The scope centred on installing specialist racking, fire protection systems and upgraded lighting to enable immediate operational use while maintaining compliance with fire and safety standards.
Project Requirements
The client required a rapid and efficient fit-out solution to support logistics operations within a tight programme. Key requirements included the installation of high-density racking systems, integration of roof-level and in-rack sprinkler protection, and enhancements to lighting and fire alarm systems, all delivered with minimal disruption to surrounding activities.
The project also required close coordination between design, construction and specialist contractors to ensure safe delivery within an operational warehouse setting.
Glencar’s Role
Glencar was appointed to deliver the Phase 2 fit-out works, coordinating specialist subcontractors and managing programme, safety and quality throughout the works. The team ensured seamless integration of racking, sprinkler and electrical systems to meet operational and compliance requirements.
