罗尔斯·罗伊斯位于德比(Derby)的工厂正在建设新的设施,该项目总投资为1.12亿英镑。
Construction work on new £112m facilities at a Rolls-Royce centre in Derby is under way.
周一,该公司宣布将在英国境内进行总计3亿英镑的投资,其中1.4亿英镑将用于德比地区的建设,其中1.12亿英镑专门用于改造其位于Sinfin A区域的工厂园区。
On Monday, the company announced a £300m investment in the UK, external, including £140m for Derby, with £112m allocated to a regeneration of the company's Sinfin A campus.
在A区,公司将拆除占地6英亩(2.4公顷)的旧建筑和基础设施,为新建的两座工程与制造服务设施腾出空间。这两座设施将雇佣超过300名员工。
The A Site will see six acres (2.4 hectares) of old buildings and infrastructure cleared to make way for two new engineering and manufacturing services facilities, which will employ more than 300 people.
“这是罗尔斯·罗伊斯十多年来在德比地区进行的最大规模投资,我们非常自豪能与这座城市保持紧密的合作关系。这体现了我们对德比的承诺,”罗尔斯·罗伊斯测试与实验工程部门的负责人保拉·克拉克(Paula Clarke)对BBC表示。
"This is the largest investment in Derby in over a decade, and we are really proud of our ties with the city. It is a symbol of our commitment to Derby," Paula Clarke, director of test and experimental engineering at Rolls-Royce, told the BBC.
新的制造服务大楼面积约为3,300平方米(35,520平方英尺),可容纳90名员工,主要用于支持工厂运营的各类制造服务工作;新的工程大楼面积约为10,500平方米(11,3021平方英尺),可容纳230名员工,旨在将各个工程团队聚集在一起,共同开展诸如“提升发动机耐用性和性能”等研发项目。
The new manufacturing services building will be about 3,300 sq m (35520 sq ft), have space for 90 employees, and will house manufacturing services teams that support factory operations. The new engineering building will be about 10,500 sq m (11,3021 sq ft), will accommodate 230 employees, and is intended to bring engineering teams together to work on projects including "improving engine durability and performance".
罗尔斯·罗伊斯表示,这两座新大楼预计将于2028年底前建成。
Rolls-Royce said the aim was for the buildings to be ready by the end of 2028.
克拉克补充道:“德比的工程师们凭借现有的能力已经取得了卓越的成果,我们的职责是确保他们拥有适应未来发展的工具和基础设施。代表将在这些新大楼工作的工程师们,他们非常高兴看到这样的投资,这也进一步体现了我们对他们的重视。”公司还提到:旧建筑中的20吨材料将被重新利用,另外60吨材料将被回收处理。
"The engineers in Derby do a phenomenal job with the capability they already have, and our job is to make sure they have capabilities fit for the future and to keep evolving the tools and infrastructure they work with," said Clarke. "Speaking for my engineers who will work in these buildings, they are delighted to see this type of investment, and it reinforces how much we value them." Rolls-Royce added that 20 tonnes of material from the old buildings are being reused, while 60 tonnes will be removed for recycling.
该公司还表示,现场的旧建筑拆除工作已于2025年开始,目前已完成约90%。
Obsolete buildings at the site will also be cleared for "future opportunities".
从为德比工厂(Derby)拨出的 1.4 亿英镑资金中剩余的部分,将用于翻新该工厂的售后支持设施(ASF)。该设施是工厂内最古老的建筑之一,其历史可追溯到 20 世纪 20 年代。目前,ASF 设施已被用于对为波音 787 飞机提供动力的 Trent 1000 发动机进行快速的“模块更换”(即更换发动机上的某些关键部件)。
Site clearance began in 2025 and is about 90% complete, the company added. The remaining funding from the £140m allocated to Derby will be used to refurbish the aftermarket support facility (ASF), which is one of the site's oldest buildings, dating back to the 1920s. The ASF facility is already being used for rapid "module swaps" on Trent 1000 engines that power Boeing 787 aircraft.
