About the project
Agratas, a global battery business within the Tata Group, has appointed Sir Robert McAlpine (SRM) as the official delivery partner for Building One of its state-of-the-art battery cell manufacturing facility, near Bridgwater in Somerset.
Sir Robert McAlpine is a family-owned building and infrastructure company established for over 155 years.
Building One and ancillary development comprises 244,710 sqm GEA of built area, more than 35% larger than Wembley Stadium which covers approximately 180,000 sqm GEA.
