Siemens has appointed international construction firm Mace to support development of its £200m train factory in Goole.

The first phase of planning permission for the site, which once operational will create 700 jobs, was approved this summer.

Now, Siemens Mobility has announced it has enlisted the help of Mace – which also played a major role in the construction of Hull’s wind turbine blade factory – to ensure the train factory remains firmly on track.

Mace will support Siemens through the development of the factory, including project and cost management and health and safety work.

Colin Harvey, director for the North at Mace, said: “We are delighted to play a significant role in this innovative project led by Siemens Mobility, which brings together some of the key sectors that are driving the Northern Powerhouse, including manufacturing, industrial development and rail.

“Our appointment to deliver this important northern asset demonstrates our continued growth east of the Pennines and is a testament to the success of previous projects we have undertaken with Siemens, including Green Port Hull.”

Siemens’ new train factory in Goole will include approximately 860,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing, commissioning, warehouse buildings and stabling sidings, as well as a four-storey, 54,000 sq. ft. office building.

The development will take place on a 104-acre site close to junction 36 of the M62 motorway and will create up to 700 jobs, with a further 250 during the construction period and an additional 1,700 potential º£½ÇÊÓÆµ supply chain roles.
