Centre of Renewable Energy (CORE) at East Drayton

The Gelder Group have been working on a Design and Build Contract for client J D Strawson for a Centre of Renewable Energy at Manor Business Park. East Drayton, Retford.

The project is a New Build accommodation with offices, training and meeting facilities. This also includes a reception / exhibition area and amenities including staff and visitor parking. The main aspect of the building will be its Renewable Energy scheme, which provides the building with all of the possible renewable energy available by using wind, solar, ground and air conditions. 

Incorporated into the building will be a display screen to showcase the technologies used in the build.  CORE?s aim is that this display of renewable energy solutions installed will enable individuals and businesses to make accurate, sustainable and costs effective decision to reduce their carbon use.  

Renewable Energy included within the scheme includes, Wind Turbine, Solar Panels, Photovoltaic Cell Array, Ground Source Heat Pump, Air source Heat Pump, Grey water recycling and Biomass Boilers (of which G D Strawson is a leading supplier of wood chip and pellets for biomass boilers).  

Current progress of the project:- 

The superstructure is now progressing to a watertight stage, with the remaining doors and windows being installed. The internal works are progressing with the warm roof insulation and plastering to walls and ceilings which will be near completion post Christmas.
