By GlobalDataA multimodal logistics hub, iPort sits on an 800-acre site offering 6 millionft2 of logistics and industrial space.
The extension of the terminal will allow for an increased number of trains to be accommodated daily, promoting the long-distance, low carbon transport of goods.
The decision to expand the terminal follows an agreement with MSC subsidiary MEDLOG in December last year.
MEDLOG took over operations of the terminal earlier this year.
The upgrade includes a specially designed reinforced concrete mix with 45kg/m3 of 3D 55-60 steel fibres.
It is claimed to be capable of supporting the weight of five stacked containers and enduring the frequent movement of reach stackers.
In addition, the project encompasses the installation of new drainage and services, construction of a welfare unit, a gatehouse, and landscaping.
Winvic Civils and Infrastructure director Rob Cook said: “We’re delighted that our credentials in constructing Strategic Rail Freight Interchanges and our expertise in pouring robust, reinforced concrete slabs has resulted in Verdion putting their trust in us to complete these works.
“We look forward to working closely with the team over the next few months as we deliver the scheme safely and swiftly.”
