Project Overview: Refurbishment of Fire-Damaged Industrial Site
BES Steel Buildings proudly undertook the refurbishment of an industrial site that had been left fire-damaged and unused for several years. This ambitious project revitalized the site, transforming it into a functional and modern space for both the client’s own business and a variety of tenants. By addressing significant challenges and tailoring solutions to meet the client's needs, we delivered a high-quality result that exceeded expectations.
Scope of Work
The refurbishment involved a comprehensive overhaul of the damaged structures, including:
-
Replacement of Damaged Steelwork: Structural steel elements were assessed and replaced as needed to restore the integrity of the site.
-
Introduction of Red Iron Purlins: To ensure structural stability and accommodate the unique challenges of the existing framework, red iron purlins were installed with precision.
-
200-Micron Plastisol Cladding: Durable and weather-resistant cladding was applied to rejuvenate the buildings’ appearance and provide long-term protection.
-
Custom-Made Doors: Pedestrian and fire escape doors, as well as industrial sliding doors, were fabricated to meet the client's specifications.
-
Finish Trims and Flashings: These were expertly designed and installed to achieve a polished and professional finish.
-
3-Phase Roller Doors: High-performance roller doors were added to enhance the functionality of the buildings.
-
Fabricated Compressor Unit: A bespoke compressor unit was fabricated on-site to support the client’s operational needs.

Challenges and Solutions

-
Uneven Stanchions: The original stanchions were not level, requiring the purlins to be carefully packed out at varying levels.
-
Solution: Our skilled welding and cladding teams collaborated closely to ensure that the purlins were precisely adjusted. This allowed the cladding to be installed seamlessly, preserving both aesthetics and functionality.
-
-
Fire Damage: Restoring the integrity of the site required meticulous replacement and reinforcement of damaged steelwork.

Collaboration and Results
