Bowmer + Kirkland gets start date for £100m Siemens site
Construction will start early next year for Siemens Mobility on a £100m rail infrastructure, digital engineering, and research and development facility in Chippenham after planning permission was granted by Wiltshire County Council.
Bowmer + Kirland has been confirmed as main contractor on the job.
Rob Morris, Joint UK&I CEO and Managing Director for Rail Infrastructure said: “I’m really pleased that construction will soon begin on our world leading digital engineering, and research and development facility. Our 800-strong Chippenham workforce has played a key role in the UK and this upgrade will help in sustaining local jobs and skills for future generations.
“For more than 125 years, Siemens Mobility has invested in Chippenham and is going to continue to transform rail travel in Britain for many years to come.”
Nick McQuaid, Regional Director for Bowmer + Kirkland added: “Our vast experience in the delivery of high-quality buildings and our expertise in sustainable construction methods, community engagement and engagement with local SMEs wherever we build will ensure that this project provides a valuable legacy both locally and to the surrounding area.”
