Dagenham Dock

Strategically located only a few miles East of the City of London and Canary Wharf, Dagenham is a central logistics location within the Thames Gateway.

Voltaic

Located at the core of the Thames Gateway, Voltaic is an award-winning new distribution/warehouse building developed by Gazeley with a suite of 12 of the latest eco-initiatives including solar photovoltaics and a ground source heat pump.  The development marks £27 million of private sector investment flowing into Dagenham Dock.

The new high bay warehouse and office facility incorporates a suite of 12 eco-initiatives designed to significantly reduce energy and water consumption, cut carbon dioxide emissions, utilise recyclable materials and slash operational costs.  Gazeley's environmentally aware design model is setting the benchmark for sustainable development and delivering massive energy, water and carbon dioxide reductions in the environmental performance of new warehouse building.

Why come to Dagenham Dock?

• The proximity to London offers the largest resource opportunity in the UK – the need for recycling and materials reprocessing is enormous. London will be producing 22 million tons of waste material by 2020 and research shows that at least 14 million tones of this waste could be recycled
• Opportunity to take advantage of Research and development tax credits – each £100 of R&D in the UK now costs £62
• Grants available from government funded Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP)
• A wide range of properties to choose from – from purpose built small business units, to larger warehouse facilities
• An Institute for Sustainability is planned for 2011 – a world class research and development centre focusing on sustainable construction, renewable energy, waste, recycling and reuse, designed as a bridge between research, academia and industry
