Medway Mail Centre, Strood, Kent

John Sisk & Son are an approved construction partner on the Royal Mail framework and have been appointed as Principal Contractor for the Medway Mail Centre at Strood.

The project involves a new 15,400 sq m mail centre to serve Kent, located on a 5.4 hectare site at the edge of Strood town centre and will process over 3 million mail items per day when in service.

The Construction process will consist of the demolition of an old warehouse slab before reinforced concrete bases are put in place for the housing of the steel structure for the Mail Centre.

The Mail Centre will incorporate a range of sustainable features including solar walls, rainwater harvesting, bio-mass boilers and solar hot water heating. The project is due for completion early in 2012
