The second phase of Island Road West, a new industrial logistics scheme in Reading, has been completed<\/h2>\n

Providing civil and structural engineering designs, BE Design<\/a> has delivered a five-unit, industrial scheme over two phases, transforming a site which features domestic landfill with a depth of six metres. More than 34,160 sq ft has been delivered across two phases, with a global logistics firm pre-letting one of the units delivered in the second phase.<\/p>\n

Director at the engineering and architecture practice BE Design, Stephen Oakden said: \u201cThere is a real demand for space to build residential and commercials schemes, and that is only on the increase.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping on greenbelt land can be somewhat contentious, so we are seeing more and more former landfill sites and brownfield land around the UK being earmarked for redevelopment \u2013 meeting the demand and protecting greenbelt land at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis move towards sustainable regeneration<\/a> means that sites, such as Island Road West, now provide businesses with the real potential to turn dead-end land into usable \u2013 and profitable \u2013 space.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first phase was completed in 2017, with the second phase starting on site in 2018. During both phases of development, ground consolidation techniques \u2013 including rapid impact compaction \u2013 were employed to minimise the ongoing settlement and subsidence that can occur on landfill sites. In addition to this, multiple safety measures<\/a> have been employed to safely release gases from the decomposing landfill matter into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Oakden \u00a0added: \u201cOf course, landfill sites present a lot of unique challenges when it comes to construction, which have to be considered at the very base of any design service but, as long as the environmental challenges are met with practical and safe solutions, construction on sites such as Island Road West in Reading can be just as successful as developments elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy taking careful measurements both before and after ground improvement techniques are applied to sites, we are able to measure the amount of consolidation achieved, and this data is likely to prove invaluable in the future are more former landfill sites are earmarked for regeneration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two of the five units delivered across the two phases remain available to let.<\/p>\n
