CPUK completes Port Salford project

Skelmersdale-based Construction Partnership UK (CPUK) has completed its 20th project for the Peel Group, a multimillion pound warehouse and office facility.

The Port Salford site occupies 3.3 acres, comprising of a 50,000 sq ft development built for freight logistics group Rhenus Logistics.

CPUK Civils and Remediation extensively remediated and stabilised the site using its specialist equipment. The two-storey steel frame building followed, supported by the installation of more than 750 concrete piles.

Construction work also involved improvement to the existing access and provision of a new drainage outfall into the Manchester Ship Canal.

In addition, CPUK Group provided 16 dock levellers and shelters, a service yard, car parking and external landscaping.

The remediation work carried out on the Port Salford site mitigated the majority of the material required to be disposed from the site and significantly reduced the stone imported by up to 85 per cent, providing both time and cost savings. Steve Burke, managing director of CPUK, said: “This is a high quality logistics facility providing a benchmark for future development on the emerging Port Salford freight terminal site."
