Martland 350 Warehouse, Wigan
Encon Associates were appointed to carry out a suite of services for Project Martland 350; a large warehouse building containing offices and surrounded by an extensive area of hardstanding. These services include a BREEAM Pre-Assessment Assessment, Acoustic Report, Daylight Calculation, Ecological Surveying and Reporting, Travel Plan, and Indoor Air Quality Plan as part of their BREEAM ambitions.
Commissioned by Savills to carry out multiple consultancy services to demonstrate building performance levels against the 2014 BREEAM standards, the daylight assessment route 2 concluded that the total average lux levels achieved the minimum requirement, gaining the three BREEAM credits available.
The warehouse, located on the southern side of Challenge Way in a small industrial estate to the western outskirts of Wigan, the site is close to the M6 motorway which runs north to south just west of the industrial estate.
The proposed alterations involved the refurbishment of the existing warehouse and reconfiguration of the car park.

The Result

The client found the assessment process more cohesive when dealing with a single consultant to deliver multiple BREEAM credits, rather than a large design team with the potential for miscommunication

We have been delighted with the service from Encon Associates throughout and for their help in achieving a BREEAM Very Good rating on both phases of our Bishop Auckland retail park project.
The online IES TaP system meant I was able to keep a close eye on how things were progressing from start to finish – an excellent facility.
Finally, thanks for your own personal contribution and guidance which was invaluable – very much appreciated. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Encon Associates and look forward to working with you on future projects.
