International tech giant Siemens is currently building a state-the-art new facility at the edge of Chippenham.
On November 11, plans were filed to put the brand’s name on the outside of the building, in a sign that construction was inching its way towards completion.
Siemens is applying for “consent to display three illuminated fascia signs”.
The illuminated signs are set to be variously between four and seven metres in width, and half a metre and a metre in height.

Works had initially started earlier this year and are now well underway, and following an official event construction ramped up over the summer.
It was marked by a speech from Siemens’ joint CEO Rob Morris who told crowds that it was an “exciting” day for the firm but also for Chippenham as a town.
Once complete, the development will create a “cutting-edge” rail infrastructure, digital engineering, and research and development facility.
Siemens expects to complete the build and move into the facility by the time it is due to leave its current base at Langley Park in 2026.
The build will mean Siemens remains in Chippenham where it currently employs around 800 people.
The factory is expected to be at the heart of several major rail projects across the country including £560 million worth of HS2 contracts.
