Roofing and cladding manufacturer Steadmans has provided
composite panels for the complete insulated building
envelope of a new facility for W G Tankers, a
Staffordshire-based company which hires, sells and repairs
tankers. |
 |
|
Comprising a preparation area, a shot blast system and
heated spray booths, the 60m x 21m x 7m building represents
a £1.4m investment and is used by WG Tankers to repair road
and rail tankers and rail carriages. |
|
Following its opening, W G
Tankers has also won a MoD contract to refurbish military
vehicles within the facility. |
|
Steadmans supplied over 1,000
lin metres of 60mm thick AS35 insulated panels in Forest
Green for the walls and 600 lin metres of 80mm thick AS35
insulted panels finished in Dobel Nova Grey Mist for the
roof. |
|
Architect for the project was
The Winter Partnership in Brighton whilst Peter Eaton &
Associates based in Derby was the structural engineer. The
fabricator, erector and installer was Richardson
Construction from Leek, Staffordshire. |
|
Paul Richardson, director of
Richardson Construction, said: “Steadmans’ AS35 composite
panels have provided an extremely durable, cost effective
solution for this project giving W G Tankers a quality
building that will help the company realise its expansion
plans. |
|
“We received excellent service
from Steadmans throughout the construction process and by
using their own dedicated transport fleet to deliver the
panels they helped us maintain the project’s momentum and
completion deadlines. We also benefitted from the company’s
clear and pragmatic technical support which was of great
benefit throughout the project.” |
