Industrial


Although, at one time, probably the largest sector for new build and redevelopment sites, traditional Industrial schemes have, over the past 20 years or so, been on the decline. More recently, however, we have seen a growth in the number of these large projects and they are often very challenging and high in value.

With the government's recent announcements regarding the planned spending increase and focus on rebuilding the UK's manufacturing industry, this sector is likely to get the much needed boost it has been lacking for so long, with many of our goods now being imported from China, India and Germany.

As with retail, house building and many other sectors, the longer the development takes, the more opportunity to build revenue is lost and this is often reflected in the allowed timescales written into these contracts ensuring planning, designing, installing and testing are all equally important.

This is where Van Elle has a major advantage over our competitors. Not only do we offer a multitude of services and product types in-house but we also represent the principal contractors and clients in a professional and diligent manner on site and at project meetings, often proposing alternative value engineering solutions which are then adopted.

Some of the largest development projects Van Elle have been involved with in recent years are for the industrial sector and as many of these include bases for extremely large and heavy machinery, settlement criteria and accuracy is of the upmost importance. Our experience and design capability frequently gives both ourselves and the principal contractors the advantage at tender stage and affords all involved the confidence that their project's foundations are in good hands from start to completion.

Regardless of the size and value of your project, Van Elle can utilise the experience, bespoke and innovative equipment, technical excellence and various product/service offerings to help ensure your scheme runs as you would expect from the UK's largest independent geotechnical engineering contractor and the '2011 Ground Engineering Specialist of the Year'.
