Logistics & Distribution

01 03

Unlocking an efficient future

The need for resilience and contingency planning in supply chains¡ªpaired with the expectation from customers for ever faster delivery¡ªdrives evolution and growth in the logistics and distribution sector.

The result? Greater need for automation and technology in these facilities, closer proximity to the communities they support, and investment in the design of wellbeing into these spaces to attract employees. ??

In responding to the dynamics of this sector, our team creates robust and flexible logistics infrastructure. We understand the importance of securing power, the new for speed in construction, and the importance of demonstrating sustainable design solutions to meet the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements of investors and tenants alike. We also understand the importance of the fit-out design, amenities and landscaping in attracting skilled employees.

Our work includes multi-modal logistics, strategic rail freight interchanges and national distribution centres, as well as last-mile neighbourhood hubs that bring purpose and flexibility to previously under-used urban sites.

With our integrated planning and design Â鶹´«Ã½, we offer the creation of economic business cases, site viability and due diligence, community engagement, planning, and power solutions. We also provide construction design advice that prepares the groundworks, manages on-site and off-site highways works, and reduces embodied carbon.

We recognise the importance and precision of logistics management¡ªit impacts our daily lives and the wider economy.?

Driving efficiency with powerful strategies

With constrained access to power across the UK, reinforcement work that connects sites to available capacity is often complex, competitive, and expensive. Our strategic approach can help you understand your power needs. We assess sites and capacity, establish the options to scale up your operations and provide support for applications and negotiations with the distribution network operators. We also determine ways to invest in onsite generation and storage to reduce peak demand, keeping your facilities running smoothly and efficiently

Preparing for an electric future

With the shift towards electric vehicle fleets, warehouses and logistics hubs need to be ready with vehicle charging infrastructure. Same day delivery also means more vehicles on the road, shorter turnaround times, and an even greater need for efficient charging. We understand your needs¡ªgetting the right mix of charging, in the right places, is key to investment and achieving long-term asset value. Our team can model the requirements for charging and address the utility needs for the increasing electrical load to these facilities.

Preparing existing logistics buildings for the future

Due to changing needs from logistics and distribution operators, impacts from climate change, and sustainability requirements, we¡¯re seeing an increased need to upgrade and retrofit existing warehouse facilities. Our engineering consultants advise real estate investment trusts and other owners and occupiers of logistics buildings to help improve existing spaces for the future. We assess available grid capacity, advise on investment in renewable energy, upgrade services, and support the modernisation of these assets.
