Dunne Completes £15m Multi-Storey Car Park In Silverburn

The Dunne Group has delivered a £15m project to design and build the multi-storey car park at Silverburn shopping centre in Glasgow.

Dunne Building & Civil Engineering completed the car park, the largest of its type in Scotland with almost 2,000 spaces, on behalf of Retail Property Holdings. Over 100 people were involved in the complete turnkey design and construction programme that was delivered in under 12 months.

Works on the four-storey development comprised precast driven piling, a post-tensioned concrete frame with external radius ramps, osrogrill galvanised steel cladding with Sto rendered infill panels and a structural steelwork frame to the service bay area. Internals consisted of elastomeric finishes to all floors and a very high lighting specification plus a hub building to house all controls for the MSCP and Silverburn shopping centre.

The project at Silverburn adds to Dunne Group's growing car-park development portfolio which includes the successful delivery of the £10m city-centre Q-park in Liverpool and the development of an underground car park as part of on-going works at the £200m AMA and Grosvenor residential and commercial development at Fountainbridge in Edinburgh.

Patrick Reel, construction director at Dunne Group, said: "We are pleased to deliver on this exciting turnkey project at Silverburn shopping centre and happy that our work will make the shopping experience run more smoothly for visitors to the centre.

"Our expertise in building multi-storey car parks has enabled the company to successfully complete this large scale project on time and within budget."
