The £40 million McLaren Production Centre (MPC) construction programme continues to proceed ahead of schedule at the McLaren Group’s headquarters in Woking, England after four months of the 12 month project.
Since the May 4 MPC announcement, the key phases on-site have involved major concrete piling and structural works that have formed the basement slab, structural columns and the initial pouring of the wall structures, plus the introduction of three large tower cranes, and major earth movements for landscaping and re-contouring. Over 200 people are now employed on-site.
Alan Foster, operations director at McLaren Automotive, said: “The MPC programme is progressing as successfully as our other projects at McLaren. We set the same challenges for the MPC as for developing our 12C sports car, or trying to win Grands Prix. We ask ourselves, ‘how can we do this better, faster, or in an innovative or new way that challenges the traditional?’
“The great weather we have had this spring, plus the attention to detail we embedded in the project from day one with our architects, surveyors, and contractors, is paying dividends as the project continues to proceed ahead of schedule.”
