A new 150- bus depot and regional headquarters offices built on a former brownfield site. The use of driven piles and the careful calculation of optimum site levels eliminated the need for off-site removal of contamination and reduced project costs.
The depot has eight workshop bays, body shop bays, a VOSA (Vehicle & Operator Services Agency) compliant MOT bay, a chassis wash and two internal bus wash and fuelling lanes.
The depot utilises sustainable technology, including a rainwater harvesting system that supplies the bus wash, and a washing reclaim system to save water. There are also solar panels on the depot roof that heat the water within the bus servicing area.
