The Magna Park logistics centre in Lutterworth is home to 29 different occupiers, operating over 3.8 million sq ft of floor space on the vast 550-acre site. As part of the Magna Park South Expansion Scheme, 400,000m2 of earthwork operations were required.
The enabling works involved a 9m change in site elevation levels and the embankment fill and sub-formation required consolidation before foundations for the new sheds could be constructed. Using traditional consolidation techniques would involve vast quantities of finite drainage gravel.
