Description:
Maxol, Northern Ireland’s leading family-owned forecourt and convenience retailer, is investing £3.6million in a significant redevelopment and expansion of Maxol Belvoir Service Station in Belfast which will see the building increase by over 300 square metres.<br/><br/>The investment at Shaws Bridge is part of a wider five-year capital investment programme worth £84m that Maxol is delivering across its network to meet the growing demand for convenience-led forecourt services that include coffee, groceries and food-to-go.<br/><br/>Maxol’s sustainable forecourt design will be fully implemented at Maxol Belvoir. A host of cutting-edge technologies will be used to reduce the site’s existing carbon footprint which include the use of LED lighting; glass door refrigeration to reduce the refrigeration load by up to 60%; photovoltaic (solar) panels to reduce electrical import requirements; solar efficient glazing to reduce solar gain in the summer and heat loss in winter; exhaust heat pump technology to maximise building heat retention and reduce heating loads; and an energy management system to monitor and control the overall energy usage on the site and to verify what savings are being achieved by each of the technologies used.<br/><br/>Forecourt developments will see car parking facilities more than double from the current 18 to 48 including four disability parking bays. Pay at Pump technology will be introduced to ensure greater convenience for customers during busy trading periods, the drive through car wash will be re-located on the new site and a new forecourt canopy with LED lighting will also be added.<br/><br/>An EV charging hub, the third in Maxol’s estate in Northern Ireland, is planned as a second stage of the development with six ultra rapid chargers and will open in 2025 under the Maxol Recharge brand.
