Corus Panels and Profiles, part of the leading pre-finished steel producer
Corus, has supplied
10,400m2 of Trisomet® 333 System - its new insulated composite
roofing system – for delivery of Rainham Steel’s new steel storage facility in
Scunthorpe.
The new steel storage unit has the capacity to hold 75,000 tonnes of steel –
enabling Rainham Steel to more efficiently service the UK, European and world
markets. Cladding contractor. L H Sleightholme used the Corus’ 80mm and 60mm
Trisomet® 333 System for the roof and walls of the building in Corus’ Colorcoat®
LG pre-finished steel.
Lorenz Etherington, Contracts Manager for LH Sleightholme comments: “Rainham
Steel is a commercial enterprise and key to the successful delivery of this
project was the need to ensure that tight construction programme was achieved.
Ideally suited for fast track projects, the Corus’ Trisomet® 333 insulated panel
system manufactured under factory controlled conditions improves the speed of
construction, and allowed us to complete the building within the required
timescales. Specifying Trisomet® 333 System enabled us to install the building
envelope substantially faster than alternative solutions available in the market
– bringing significant overall cost and time savings to the project.”
The Trisomet® 333 System is a high performance through fix roof and wall
panel comprising a Corus Colorcoat® pre-finished steel external skin, zero ODP
PIR insulation core and a polyester coated steel internal liner. The product
offers both excellent thermal and air tightness performance, with the additional
assurance of long term durability afforded by Corus’ Colorcoat® LG pre-finished
steel external skin.
Mark Clemson, Commercial Director – Building Envelope, Corus Panels and
Profiles: “Performing to the highest standards of thermal performance and
air-tightness, specifying Trisomet® 333 System can enable a finished building to
achieve an air tightness performance as low as 3m³/hr/m² as well as a BREEAM
excellent rating. Furthermore, with its environmentally friendly zero ODP
insulation core, the Trisomet® 333 System can be fully recycled once the
building reaches the end of its useful lifespan – properties which contribute to
making this one of the most sustainable building envelope systems currently
available on the market.”
