Industrial & Manufacturing
Revolutionising the approach to industrial spaces
Varying in size, scale and requirements, industrial and manufacturing space needs to be robust and flexible. It needs to accommodate the very latest in automation and process optimisation to make sure you maximise efficiency, while offering a healthy place to work that attracts the array of talent needed.
Our big picture thinking, focusing on new communities, includes assessing how to integrate facilities like laboratories, clean-tech production and last-mile logistics hubs into local communities. Understanding how these facilities make a positive contribution to their surrounding areas, including bringing life to under-used, brownfield, urban sites, is a key part of shaping a robust site-wide sustainability strategy.
Our integrated planning and design consultancy teams bring a comprehensive understanding to industrial and manufacturing projects, with experience optimising building performance, minimising embodied carbon in construction, exploring opportunities to embrace renewable energy, and creating facilities that respect the wellbeing of their users and surrounding communities. With experience in everything from gigafactories to automotive, our team has the integrated knowledge needed to bring any industrial project to life.
Advancing manufacturing for a sustainable future
We’re providing integrated design services for Agratas who are building a battery cell manufacturing facility on the Gravity Smart Campus in the UK. With innovative technologies and resource efficient processes, the new advanced manufacturing facility will produce high-performance, sustainable battery cells to support Britain’s energy transition—and power hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles. This is one of the most significant manufacturing investments in the UK, and the factory will be one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Read MoreKeeping projects moving at an industrial scale
