The Task: This challenging project, with its unique specifications, stringent design criteria and tight time frames, was primarily divided into two elements; construction of a 200m long structure incorporating approach ramps with a single spanning elliptical bridge which crosses the Damson Parkway and construction of five service buildings located within the 100,000sqm despatch facility.
The bridge construction consisted of a curved standing seam roof and soffit cladding along with curved architectural aluminium cassette panels. The approach ramps featured a standing seam roof and Siberian Larch timber acoustic and ventilated walls and soffit finishes. The bridge was partially constructed at the side of the road and lifted into position, where it was completed whilst the road below remained in full operation.
The Solution: The service buildings were a combination of both SIPS insulated structures and steel framed, composite cladded buildings finished with a fibre cement slate roof and Siberian Larch wall cladding.
Time was of the essence during this contract, and Rooflock were delighted to support the installing contractor, providing Fastec stainless steel fasteners and technical support.
