New building at GreenMech.

[PeteB]

The Mill Industrial Park, home to GreenMech as well as several other companies is running out of Industrial space and to cope with GreenMech’s need for more space, is having to erect a new facility.

 

This new building will allow two companies to move from the main building and into these purpose-built premises to free up over 12,000 square feet for GreenMech to expand into over the next year or so.

 

The following photographs show the building going up since the beginning of the year and I’ll add to them as the project nears completion.

 

Angstrom will take up the main part with their press designing and manufacturing business, which supplies the Midlands Automotive trade with press moulds for pressing out shaped components for the likes of Aston Martin, Jaguar and Landrover while E & J Tooling are involved in the very specialist world of Thread Rolling Tools which effectively roll the threads into bolts and screws etc.

The foundations and formwork dug and fitted and the uprights going in.

While digging out the foundation pits in made up ground from when the site was the Turner Flail Mower factory from the 60's until the 80's, some builder threw in some of his old scrap!

Roof panel work going on.

The walls starting to be clad and a certain amount of floor prep done.

Nearly weatherproof but still a lot to do.

Over 240 tonnes of concrete being pumped in to make up one floor level. Laser levelled and dry by knocking off time. No footprints left on this build - I was going to sneak in and leave my mark for prosterity!

Exciting times Pete. Great stuff.

What's prosterity ?

 

Is it a cross between posterity and prosperity ?

 

It amazes me how quickly these frames go up and get clad.

As I typed that I thought something was wrong!
