Project overview
Central Park, Avonmouth, is a premier distribution hub strategically located near the M49, making it one of the largest logistics developments in the UK. Our client, ISG retail, required comprehensive ground investigation services to support the construction of a state-of-the-art warehouse facility for a leading global retailer.
Our approach
GIP was commissioned to deliver a tailored ground investigation that would provide the critical data needed to inform the design and construction process. Our services included:
- Site investigation – conducting detailed borehole drilling, trial pits, and in-situ testing to assess the soil, rock, and groundwater conditions.
- Comprehensive laboratory analysis – performing geotechnical and geo-environmental testing to evaluate material properties and identify any potential contamination risks.
- Clear, actionable reporting – providing the client with detailed reports and recommendations to support effective design decisions and minimise construction risks.
Project challenges and solutions
The site’s proximity to former industrial areas meant there was potential for ground contamination and variable soil conditions. Our team’s expertise and thorough investigation helped to identify and address these risks early, ensuring the project proceeded without unexpected delays or costly rework.
Results
Our high-quality data and expert recommendations allowed the client to proceed with confidence, ensuring the project remained on time and within budget. The new warehouse facility stands as a key part of central park’s continued growth as a prime logistics hub.
