SCF were involved in the design, procurement and site management of the roofing and wall cladding works at Western Police Custody Suite, inclusive of curtain walling and brise soleil. The roof and wall sheets were fabricated at ground level and lifted into position to achieve the regular sharp edge crank detail seen at both the front and rear of the building.

Site Formed Cranked Welding

The geometry of the building and the acute angles of the sheets meant the cladding was installed as front and rear welded panels with straight sheets running across the length of the roof. The Cranks were created at ground level where they could be set into a template and we could quality control the weld. The sheets were then welded on to the main roofsheet once lifted into position, a straightforward weld that permitted the crisp appearance of the building we have today to be achieved.
