Multi-Discipline Excellence: Great Blakenham

In August 2021, Aarsleff Ground Engineering conducted a sizeable multi-discipline project on behalf of client Team AB who have been appointed as the main contractor in building a new logistics park in Ipswich, Great Blakenham.

The establishment, named ‘Port One’, will soon boast a bespoke warehouse set to revolutionise e-commerce warehousing. The impressive warehouse will offer uninterrupted access 24/7 and 365 days per year. The overall site consists of 90 million cubic feet of capacity, 1.8m sq. foot floor space and 21m eaves capacity. The geographical positioning of the scheme is conveniently located a short 20-minute drive from the A14, which is also situated closely to the Port of Felixstowe.

With a combination of our own in-house capabilities and a highly skilled workforce, Aarsleff were able to design and deliver multi-discipline excellence, bringing together our individual departments; Insitu, Specialist Retaining Walls and Geotechnical.
