Our Challenge
We were commissioned to cover a large car park area while keeping the supermarket fully operational.

The original design for the canopy specified structural steel, but with the potential issue of corrosion due to its proximity to the coast, a structural laminated wooden structure made more sense.

The Techlam Solution
A significant project with careful planning and collaboration with the client’s architect and structural engineer delivered a unique solution. We worked closely with the client to reverse engineer and supply the entire structure - showcasing engineered timber with a stunning end result.

Techlam worked with the main contractors on site to efficiently manage the project, meaning the supermarket remained open during construction. A further issue for the client was birds nesting and sheltering under the canopy, a problem the timber solution removed completely.
