Caddick has started to build the 145,000 sq ft assembly and service centre, which was designed by AHR Architects and will form part of Goole Rail Village.

Located on 3.7-acres of land next to the Goole train manufacturing facility, work is set to complete next spring and will include car parking and infrastructure.

The bogie service centre will be used for the assembly and refurbishment of rail components, as well as new-build bogies, and wheelsets to supply international rail networks.

Caddick is also currently on site at Schneider Electrical’s £42m 178,000 sq ft manufacturing plant in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, which will add the the UK’s green energy efforts.

Steve Ford, regional managing director of Caddick Construction North East & Yorkshire, commented: “Our region’s industrial sector is seeing some significant investment, which is really positive for our economy and job market.

“As a Yorkshire business, we’re very proud to be delivering these flagship schemes on behalf of global leaders in manufacturing and industry.

“As well as growing our own project portfolio, we are also fuelling a strong pipeline for our regional supply chain and sub-contractor partners, which in-turn brings more training and employment opportunities for Yorkshire people.”

Sambit Banerjee, joint chief executive of Siemens Mobility UK & Ireland, commented: “The growth of our Goole Rail Village is an important part of Siemens Mobility’s mission to transform rail travel and transport in the UK, so it’s great to have Caddick contributing to that growth through the construction of our new Bogie Assembly and Service Centre.”
