A 16,000 sq ft facility for HHV Whitchurch & Co incorporating a supermarket, high bay warehouse for double pallet racking with offices and stores at first floor level.
The building is located in Picard, Dominica and the roof is mainly clad in long life double sided Prisma coated cladding, manufactured by Euroclad, due to the saline environment. The remaining roof area is in situ concrete poured on our CF46 composite metal deck and is provided to support the water tanks and plant needed for the chillers and freezer units in the store.
As well as contending with the coastal environment the building is designed for Category 5 Hurricanes which is why the narrow but tall frame of the high bay warehouse has such large sections. |
