The new warehouse at Peachman Way, Broadland Business Park, is a 56,000 sq. ft high specification distribution facility designed to provide a large, flexible industrial space for future operational use. Formed around a two-span steel portal frame, the building creates an expansive clear span interior suitable for highbay storage, racking layouts, and efficient vehicle circulation, alongside office space designed for long‑term adaptability.

Externally, the warehouse features a modern industrial envelope with insulated cladding, robust service yard areas, and well-integrated loading arrangements to support distribution, logistics, and goods handling activities.

The structure sits on a carefully engineered platform incorporating ground improvement works to ensure long term stability and performance. The steel frame provides operational versatility, while the building’s height and footprint allow for adaptable internal configurations.

Designed for durability, efficiency, and future growth, the warehouse will serve as a resilient, high-quality asset within Broadland Business Park.

Rossi Long Consulting delivered the full civil and structural engineering design for the new warehouse which was positioned on a challenging sloping site. A key early task was developing a detailed earthworks cut and fill strategy to establish optimal finished floor levels, maximise reuse of site-won materials, and minimise the need for imported or exported fill. This approach significantly reduced earthworks costs while supporting an efficient construction programme.

The structural design addressed the demands of a high‑bay warehouse, including substantial racking loads and future operational flexibility. A steel frame was engineered with a fibre reinforced concrete ground floor slab incorporating specialist Cosinus slide joints to accommodate varied end uses, allowing for straightforward adaptation or extension without major structural alteration. Surface water drainage was carefully integrated into the site levels strategy, ensuring compliant and robust performance.

Overall, the project achieved excellent value for money through cost efficient design, reduced earthworks expenditure, and a resilient frame ready for future modifications.
