At Sutcliffe, our expertise in industrial developments is expanding rapidly, driven by our commitment to delivering innovative, safe, and functional designs for some of the most demanding industrial projects.
Our team played a fundamental role in the design of a new Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) facility at Damson Lane Chemical Plant in Hull. This project highlights our ability to tackle complex industrial challenges. The facility was designed with integrated flood defences on the ground floor and blast storage facilities to safely handle the hazardous ingredients used in production. To ensure compliance with the strictest safety regulations, the facility was built to ATEX-rated process zone standards and adhered to the rigorous FM Global standards. These considerations underscore our commitment to safety, which is paramount in every industrial project we undertake.

Functional and sustainable industrial design
At Sutcliffe, we understand the critical importance of creating industrial buildings that not only function efficiently but are also easy to construct and environmentally responsible. Our role goes beyond designing the structural framework of buildings; we ensure that these structures can withstand the various loads and stresses they might encounter throughout their lifespan. By integrating structural integrity with aesthetic and practical considerations, we create sustainable, durable, and environmentally friendly buildings that meet the most meticulous environmental requirements.
Our multidisciplinary approach allows us to deliver solutions that minimise environmental impact, whether we are building the latest data centres or managing large-scale industrial operations, our experienced team of structural engineers utilises advanced techniques and cutting-edge technology to ensure that our clients’ facilities are safe, efficient, and built to last.
