DSV<\/a> has appointed Winvic Construction Ltd<\/a> to design, construct and partially fit out its new industrial facility at Mercia Park in North West Leicestershire<\/h2>\n

Winvic will be fitting out all of the office spaces<\/a> to a high quality and the large stand-alone office building meets DSV\u2019s global design standard.<\/p>\n

Prominent design features include a glass lift, wood-panelled walls in an oak finish and a feature staircase.<\/p>\n

The external works package includes 381,700 sq ft yard space plus car parking for 406 vehicles, and the programme contains all drainage, retaining wall and hard and soft landscaping works.<\/p>\n

The project has been selected as the first of two schemes where the\u00a0Computer-Vision-SMART technology<\/a> will be developed; AI-enabled cameras<\/a> will be placed around the site and operatives will receive alerts via an app to warn them of nearby hazards to health and safety in real-time.<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s progress can be followed via the timelapse cameras streamed on\u00a0Winvic Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project is due to reach practical completion at the end of August 2021.<\/p>\n

The use of AI technology<\/h3>\n

Winvic director, Rob Bull, said: \u201cWe\u2019re naturally very pleased that DSV witnessed our client-first approach through our relationship with IM Properties<\/a> and the vast civils and infrastructure delivery at Mercia Park, and also recognised Winvic as the leading main contractor in the sector that gets the job done right.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project is slightly unusual for an industrial project as the facility comprises multiple buildings with multiple storeys.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese will be erected simultaneously and our expert team is confident of meeting the programme as well as DSV\u2019s high expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scheme is expected to receive much interest from the industry and media due to it being the test-bed site for the recently unveiled Computer-Vision-SMART initiative, where brand new AI technology will be developed.<\/p>\n

\u201cExternal and \u2013 later into the programme \u2013 internal cameras will be installed on-site, which will detect, recognise and track hazards.<\/p>\n

\u201cMyself and team members who will be working on the site are already excited to be part of the technological advancements and to start receiving risk alerts direct to their mobile or wearable devices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brian Winther Almind, executive vice president at DSV, said: \u201cThe new Mercia Park campus in North West Leicestershire is an important new site to DSV as it will become home to all three of our business units, DSV Roads, DSV Solutions and DSV Air and Sea.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur previous collaborations with Winvic have been extremely successful, so we\u2019re looking forward to our ongoing partnership and the strengthening of our relationship through the construction of these modern and efficient facilities at Mercia Park.\u201d<\/p>\n
