News: Project Completed at Hurricane Urban Hub in Reading

VMS Ltd successfully completed a comprehensive vibration monitoring project at the Hurricane Urban Hub site, strategically located in Reading. We carefully monitored vibration levels along the site boundary, particularly in areas adjacent to neighbouring properties, throughout the ongoing construction activities.

The implementation of these vibration monitors was crucial in understanding and controlling the potential impact of construction-induced vibrations on the surrounding environment. Through continuous monitoring and prompt data analysis, we were able to ensure that any disturbances caused by construction activities remained well within acceptable limits. This meticulous approach not only safeguarded the structural integrity of nearby buildings but also prioritized the comfort and well-being of local residents, allowing them to go about their daily lives with minimal disruption.

The Hurricane Urban Hub itself represents an exciting step forward in modern industrial development, featuring a state-of-the-art design that consists of ten speculative warehouse units. Each unit is designed to cater to diverse business needs, with sizes ranging from 10,500 to 8,000 square feet. This development is not only focused on functionality but also integrates sustainability into its core.

With its green credentials, Hurricane Urban Hub sets a high standard for eco-friendly industrial spaces. It aims for an impressive Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of A+, which underscores the commitment to energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact. The development includes Electric Vehicle Charging Points, promoting sustainable transport options for tenants and visitors alike. Additionally, the roofs of the warehouse units are equipped with photovoltaic (PV) paneling, tapping into solar energy to power operations while minimizing reliance on non-renewable resources.

To further enhance energy efficiency, the development incorporates Ground and Air Source Heat Pumps for the office spaces, optimizing heating and cooling systems in an environmentally responsible manner. Additionally, high-quality thermal insulation has been integrated into the construction, contributing to reduced energy consumption and ensuring comfort for all occupants.
