Description of Works: |
The brief for this project was to prepare the roof of this large storage unit to receive PV panels. Our client required a roofing system supported by a 25-year warranty, and a structural survey identified the need for strengthening the roof with additional purlin supports. |
Chester
The owners of this large storage unit in Chester decided to install Photovoltaic Panels (PVs) on the roof to provide renewable energy for the building.
Before installing the PVs, a structural engineer identified the need to strengthen the roof by installing additional purlin supports in the selected area.
In addition to supplying and installing the new purlin supports, Welbro was tasked with providing a new roofing system with a 25-year warranty.
This roofing system comprised a Delcote Seamsil roof coating system and Plygene gutter liners. Our final task was to provide waterproof supports for the PV installer to mount their system.
The whole project had to be carried out while the building was occupied, without any major impact on normal operations, so an internal birdcage scaffold was installed while the purlins were replaced.
