Specialist roofing and cladding company, Thornton Roofing has completed a two-year recycling project at Oakleaf Farm Recycling. Thornton joined Architects WDR & RT Taggart to construct a waste processing building on an impressive five-hectare site in Stanwell Moor.
Located on an official green belt, the factory’s close proximity to residential housing developments, the Staines Reservoirs and Heathrow Airport made it a project with a broad range of stakeholders. The roofing and cladding experts installed the Euroclad Elite 2 acoustic roofing system and Euroclad Elite 55 acoustic wall cladding system, both designed with specialist absorption qualities to control noise emissions from the factory.
The revolutionary roofing system designed by Thornton has been built with an insulation gap between the outer and inner lining sheet in order to curtail possible noise emissions. In addition to this, the double skinned walls prevent unwanted noise reverberations in the green belt.
Paul McErlane, Contracts Manager at Thornton Roofing said of the project: ‘We are particularly proud to have worked on this unique project. Certain requirements of the project meant that specialist skills were necessary to deliver on site objectives. It was fantastic that we at Thornton are recognised as being able to deliver specialist requirements and execute them with a calibre of high degree.’
‘Ensuring that strict noise (laws) were met were of paramount importance, ensuring that these standards were met was a key consideration when selecting products for the project. The Thornton team were consistently proactive in building positive relationships with the entire team on-site and always delivered on requirements to an impeccable standard. Competence levels displayed by the team were impressive and had a positive ripple effect across the entire team on-site.’
