The  £28m facility at the Alexandra Dock site is the biggest single warehousing investment at the Port of Liverpool over the last six years.

Equivalent to five football pitches in length the Alexandra Dock multi-user warehouse will also have a dedicated quay and cranes to optimise vessel discharge as part of the new development.

Works include piling, foundations, push walls, a single-span warehouse frame, cladding and roof lights.

Peter Goodman, managing director – Midlands & North, said the warehouse project would be completed by March next year.

“We understand the commercial imperative to produce sustainable and high-quality structures, often at speed, creating lasting value for asset owners and are delighted to be working for leading UK Port Operator Peel Ports to construct this multi-user warehouse development.”
