Siemens Mobility Train Manufacturing Facility
Goole, UK
project overview
Innovative, advanced train manufacturing facility
The Siemens Mobility Train Manufacturing Facility is the first phase of the wider Siemens Rail Village, setting the foundation for this advanced rail manufacturing masterplan. Designed to foster innovation and productivity, the facility is a highly efficient environment that optimises every stage of the train production and commissioning process.
Working closely with Siemens from the outset, we mapped the optimal production flow and used this to shape the design, creating streamlined, intuitive logistics routes to increase operational output. This approach continues to guide the following phases of the Siemens Rail Village masterplan; phase two, the Siemens Mobility Traction Drives UK and Ireland Facility, now complete; and phase three, the Siemens Bogie Service Centre, currently under construction.
At the forefront of modern manufacturing design, the facility includes tracks running directly through the main commissioning hall, enabling the smooth movement of long-formation trains and specialist equipment for assembly, testing and commissioning.
People’s health and wellbeing was of paramount importance in this design. We have contributed to a more productive and sustainable workforce by creating spaces for workers to relax, connect and enjoy their downtime. WELL and biophilic principles have been applied throughout our design and shared social spaces, encourage connection and collaboration.
sustainability
A future-ready, sustainable workplace
Across the Siemens Rail Village, our focus is to deliver a cost-effective, energy-efficient masterplan that supports long-term sustainability. Taking a ‘Spirit of BREEAM’ approach, we have shaped a healthier, more resilient and collaborative workplace where efficiency and productivity thrive. Natural ventilation and daylighting, photovoltaic panels, and durable, low-maintenance materials significantly reduce operational energy use and environmental impact, helping Siemens advance towards its sustainability goals.
landscape design
Outdoor spaces fostering connections with nature
Our ecological landscape design strategy strengthens relationships between people and nature, whilst seamlessly integrating with the architecture and its surroundings. Designed around a landscaped courtyard, there are outdoor spaces in which people can unwind, dine, relax and enjoy nature together. The selection of biophilic planting helps to improve mood and cognitive function, whilst reducing stress levels.
Working closely with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, we have developed a landscape design approach which minimises the ecological impact of the site and promotes Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) by enhancing environments for endangered species.
