The new Hull Distribution Centre was opened in April 2007.

BUILDING DETAILS

The main building is 73 metres wide and 74 metres deep (giving 5402 m² of floor space) and 14.3 metres high at the centre. The full width cantilevered canopy over the loading area is 17 metres deep giving an undercover working area of 1241 m².

The overall volume of the main building is 72,516 m³ and the canopy adds another 7446 m³

During the construction of the building 267 tonnes of structural steel was used and a total of 833 piles (12 metres long) were driven into the ground to support the building and the warehouse floor.

The building required a total of 10,853 m² of cladding to cover the roof walls and canopy.

The laser levelled floor was poured in 4 sections and forms a large part of the 2500 m³ of concrete used in the building construction and external areas
