The new Tesco store at Dingwall, which was constructed on an archaeological site that was carefully investigated before building commenced, serves a very wide community in Northern Scotland.
The Topdek roof system is a built up membrane roofing system which was specified with 80mm of PIR foam to provide sufficient insulation in the local climate and minimise heat loss despite the internal temperatures required for a comfortable store environment.
Its lightweight is ideal for economic applications in large spans, it is rapid and easy to fix in one single operation.
