Tata Steel has upgraded its service and distribution centre in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The improvement work will secure an uninterrupted supply of material to customers in the important Irish markets it serves including Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland areas.
The majority of steel products sold from the Lisburn centre are manufactured by Tata Steel at its UK-based plants and it was the company’s own products that played an integral role in the transformation of the facility.
The new high-spec building envelope of the Lisburn service centre includes a robust roofing solution that will not only protect, but will also secure and preserve the wide product and service offering stored beneath in the best possible condition.
The service centre covers the full range of Tata Steel flat products used in a vast number of applications including earth moving and agricultural equipment to construction. In addition, the service centre houses an in-house coil slitting, decoiling and blanking line that provides a wide processing capability to meet customer requirements locally from an extensive stock range.
Tata Steel’s Lisburn service centre upgrade required a sophisticated and precise design that would offer a quick construction programme to allow the service centre to continue operating throughout the transformation as it maintained a continuous supply of steel products to customers in the Irish markets.
One of the project’s main features is the high-spec steel roof which was constructed using 8,400m2 of Trisomet® 100mm insulated panels.
The Trisomet® panels were manufactured at Tata Steel’s Shotton site in North Wales using Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® pre-finished steel in Goosewing Grey.
The Trisomet® roof system was installed by Industrial Roofing Scotland, designed and fitted with factory assembled triple-skin rooflights (Brett Martin). Its completion will ensure that steel destined for delivery into the Irish markets can be stored and processed in optimum conditions.
Michael Kelly, Tata Steel’s Head of Heavy Gauge Decoiling & Ireland, said: “We value our customers across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and this investment will allow us to better serve them for years to come”.
