Design Brief: To design a building for the leading laundry company in the midlands. The building is to be modern, low maintenance and suitable for high humidity operations.

The Design: To maximise the height we opted for a low pitch roof of 3 degrees.  The roof panels on the project were a Kingspan KS1000 LP designed specifically for Low pitched roofs, each panel was in one length from the ridge to eaves, 18.0m long and were lifted individually with a crane using a KA-BGE magnetic lift by Oktopus UK Ltd connected to a crane beam by LGH (Lifting Gear Hire Ltd)

To enable the most efficient low maintenance design internally, a Kingspan Longspan Panel was used for the wall cladding.  This is a system that removes the need for sheeting rails, effectively the cladding panels span horizontally across each bay and fix directly to the steelwork.  This was a significant advantage to the client as it removed the ledges and subsequent dust / dirt build up that can occur on conventional sheeting rail systems.

Due to the high humidity the building will be prone to, all the cladding panels internal linings were upgraded to Plastisol coated.

Project: Coach Depot / Worksop and Offices

Title: Full Design & Build

From initial consultation and design engineering, through to manufacture and erection of a new fully insulated steel framed building including foundations, office fit out, Walls and Floors. The building has been designed to be in keeping with a newly developed site. A Ward Composite roof and Ward Insulated Micro Rib Flat Panels are to be used on the vertical elevations to fulfil the design brief

Project: Commercial Building

Title: Structural Steelwork & Cladding

A typical design, manufacturer and erection of a steel framed building and cladding package. The building was constructed using Kingspan Metalcon Cold Rolled section purlins bolted to hot rolled steel and clad with a Ward Insulated Panel’s Roof System and twin skin built up vertical cladding. The twin skin cladding allows future damaged panels to be easily replaced but was primarily specified to expedite the weather-proofing of the building for security and internal fit out works

Client: M.A Developments, Wincham

Project: Distribution Centre

Title: Structural Steelwork & Cladding

Built specifically as a distribution centre for a national company due to its ideal location close to the M6 Motorway. The building was fully clad with Ward Insulated Composite Panel’s to enable speed of installation on a short timescale.

Client: Imetech

Project: Office Block

Title: Full Design and Build

For Imetech in Cheshire we designed and built completely new high-tech office block.

Construction incorporated a steel structure, full civils package including brickwork, specialist raised computer flooring and internal fit out.
