Challenges and Solutions

Our technical survey team identified that the deterioration of the roof was due to Galbestos, which can become a critical health and safety issue. The stripping of the existing Galbestos coated steel roof sheets was a carefully coordinated part of the project due to the fragile state of the material. The replacement composite roof panel system was installed in stages, following on from the Galbestos removal team.

This helped minimise how long the roof structure was exposed to the elements. A natural air ridge ventilation system was also installed to complete the external roof project. Internally within the warehouse, Starfish Construction placed a crash deck during the removal and installation process to minimise the risk of falling debris. On completion of the external roof, a new sprinkler system and ATEX rated lighting were installed.

Outcome

Starfish Construction acted as principal contractor and designer for the complete works. The new composite roof panel system ensures the integrity of the warehouses for many years to come, providing safe and highly functional buildings.
