OUT ON SITE IN NORTHAMPTON GATEWAY
-
A fantastic afternoon at the Northampton Gateway (NGW) site yesterday with our clients Winvic Construction.
-
Fenix Rail Systems have been selected to provide a state-of-the-art digital control system to facilitate train automation within the facility.
-
The photos show the size of this enormous site, it is a brand new facility, a large-scale logistics park which is located adjacent to J15 of the M1 with a strategic rail freight interchange (SRFI), that has been designated for SEGRO and delivered by our clients Winvic.
-
The Logistics Park Northampton is of up to 5 million square feet of distribution buildings with rail intermodal.
-
The proposed control system will bring simplicity to what would ordinarily be a complex operation, again, the digital control system will provide a safe operational environment with maximum flexibility and dependability.
-
Our in-house design team have now started work on the first stages of what is an exciting project to be involved.
-
Many thanks to our hosts Winvic for showing us around and explaining some of the complexities of this amazing project!

Note: for those interested, the site is a designated a construction site hence rules on PPE differ from rail sites.
