CASE STUDY DPD Distribution Centre Hinckley, United Kingdom DPD is one of the largest distribution and logistics companies in the UK and worldwide. At Hinckley Commercial Park, a new 31,000 m 2 DPD parcel distribution centre was constructed in 2015. The external concrete paving was enhanced with Fibrin XT construction fibres to give it improved durability. Challenge The distribution centre has 100 docking bays which means that the external concrete paving will be heavily trafficked with an esitmated 1000 truck movements per day. This high volume of vehicle movements with mostly loaded articulated lorries, means that the concrete will be susceptible to heavy wear and tear. Furthermore, the concrete slab will be subject to freeze/thaw cycles that can cause concrete faillure.
