Technology park contract
January 2018

Swansea-based AB GLASS has been appointed by Kier Construction to provide its services in the development of a technology park and advanced manufacturing workspace in St Austell, Cornwall in a contract worth £280,000.

Funding has been secured to develop the Carluddon Technology Park and Employment Space for Advanced Manufacture (ESAM), which aims to attract high-value businesses and provide high-skilled jobs, which will help bolster new opportunities in Cornwall.

AB Glass began on the project in November, installing systems including Kawneer AA100 curtain walling, and AA720 windows and doors. The project is expected to be completed in summer 2018 and will offer up to 8,500m2 of workspace facilities.

Nigel Harvey, operations director at AB Glass, said: “Carluddon Technology Park is a fantastic development for the Cornwall area and we are thrilled to be contributing to its development. This project also marks our continuing relationship with Kier Construction, who we are proud to be working with once again on such an impressive development.”

The Carluddon Technology Park development adds to a number of projects AB Glass has carried out for Kier Construction during 2017, which also includes the new Trago Mills store in Merthyr Tydfil, Callywith College in Cornwall and the new University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) campus in Swansea.
