Network Rail Holbeck MDU
Network Rail's Holbeck MDU facility in, Leeds, has been here for well over 100 years and over this time had evolved with more and more temporary buildings and steel containers that did not allow for efficient operations and did not provide a suitable working environment for Network Rail staff. The Holbeck DU project was designed to make best use of the old 60m by 30m train shed by installing a mezzanine office floor and retrofitting the space below to allow for safe and efficient storage of materials and equipment for the various teams, with all facilities and spaces designed in accordance with Building Regs and the MDU Design Guide.

SOCIAL VALUE, CARBON REDUCTION & SUSTAINABILITY

Over and above our technical engineering and project and programme management skills, software, qualifications, accreditations and experience, we like to bring in added value that supports the world we live in. MPI fully supports the social value tender commitments of our clients and is also a carbon negative business. We have a Carbon Reduction Plan in place to continually reduce and monitor our minimised emissions which are then more than offset by our investments into offsetting projects in Asia, India and Uruguay. All offsets meet VCS standards.
