Mainfreight’s Hornby warehouse is a circa 20,000m² industrial facility designed to support high-volume freight and logistics operations, with a focus on efficiency, durability, and speed of delivery.
Our role encompassed the delivery of foundations and installation of precast concrete panels, forming a critical component of the structural envelope. This included pad and strip footings, ground beams, and coordination with services and slab preparation to ensure readiness for vertical construction.

We managed the full precast installation process, including logistics, cranage coordination, panel sequencing, and installation. Working with large-format panels in a fast-paced environment required detailed planning, strict adherence to safety protocols, and precision to meet alignment tolerances and structural requirements.
Operating within a programme-driven environment, we coordinated closely with the main contractor and other trades to maintain momentum and meet key milestones.

Our integrated approach to groundwork and precast installation enabled a seamless transition through critical early build phases.
This project highlights our capability to deliver heavy structural elements safely and efficiently, combining groundwork expertise with large-scale precast installation in complex industrial builds.
