Hot Rolled Steel Extension for New Machinery in Sunderland
Shalam Thermoforming (UK) Limited needed extra space at their Sunderland unit to house a new machine. We designed and installed a 21m x 14m hot rolled steel monopitch extension, 8.5m high, joined onto the existing building.
The Groundwork
The foundations of the existing building ran into the footprint of the new extension, so our engineers designed a structural ring beam to work around them. With a new machine going inside, the layout had to be exact.
Joining Onto the Existing Building
Because the extension connects to the existing unit, we designed and fitted a bespoke weather seal where the two meet. The frame was put up by our own installation team and clad in Goosewing Grey.
