Kalzip® coast to coast Kalzip® coast to coast

This guide features Kalzip projects spread out along the ‘M62 corridor’ running from coast to coast – from Liverpool in the west through to Hull in the east. The region has seen a spate of construction activity that has probably been unmatched since the immediate post war years. And, looking at the nature and calibre of many of the projects – public buildings of international acclaim, major sporting facilities and substantial investment in the public transport infrastructure of the region – it is surely true to say that there has been nothing like it since the Victorian era when the region’s cities and monuments were built from the profits of the industrial revolution.

Kalzip aluminium standing seam has been a popular choice with specifiers right across the board and it is a credit to the very high levels of design and installation capability found amongst our approved Teamkal network of contractors, that they have been involved in the construction of some of the most prestigious and award winning projects including; the Imperial War Museum North, The Lowry, the Royal Mail Rail Terminal and the Manchester Airport Rail Station.

In 1998 a total of 34 football clubs agreed to set up ‘academies’ – for the encouragement and professional training of young players with a structured and approved study programme for school age boys.

Liverpool Football Club’s academy was built at Anfield in 1998 and is roofed with more than 1,200 square metres of Kalzip aluminium standing seam. The Kalzip 305 stucco embossed profile curves across the central barrel vault with a curved and tapered section at each end of the building.

The entertainer Roy Castle spent the last Cancer Research, Liverpool few months of his life touring the country to raise money for the foundation that was to carry his name – the objective was to create the first dedicated centre for lung cancer research in the world.

Working on a constrained budget, the architect and project team delivered a purpose-built centre that combines functionality with strikingly impressive design. The centre piece is a glazed corner section which curves and rises to the full three storey height of the structure.

The building houses general office accommodation, a molecular biology laboratory, lecture theatre, library and an epidemiology unit.

This development by Portico Housing Association in Bolton comprises three separate blocks with a total of 42 flats and eight separate Kalzip aluminium standing seam roofs. More than 1,500 square metres of Kalzip 400 profile in a stucco embossed finish were installed together with an equivalent quantity of tapered sheets.

The design detailing on the project is absolutely superb – note the royal blue ﬂashings and matching lamp posts. A most striking feature is the Kalzip canopies over the ground ﬂoor entrances – very neat.

Kalzip coast to coast 9 Looking across to the facing bank of the Manchester Ship Canal from The Lowry, there is now an awesome and inspiring sight – the complex, curved and soaring forms of the Imperial War Museum North. The ﬁrst building in the UK to be designed by the Berlin-based architect Daniel Libeskind, the Museum has received international acclaim.

The building comprises 3 monumental curving shards – the visual impression is that they have crashed into one another as fragments of the earth shattered by conﬂict. The entire structure is based on the geometry of the globe – even the main gallery ﬂoor is spherical – and the effect is both exciting and disorienting.

The building is clad almost entirely in aluminium with more than 5,000 square metres of Kalzip 400 profile in a mill finish comprising the roof and 6,880 linear metres of 3mm gauge bespoke aluminium panels set in a complex design to form the wall cladding. The panels, again in mill finish, were fabricated by Kalzip in Haydock.

Approved Teamkal contractors, Broderick Structures Ltd, used 3D computer modelling to master the complexity of the geometries involved and many of the design details of the roof, fascia and sofﬁt were physically modelled on a 1:1 scale.

The Kalzip aluminium standing seam roof was conﬁgured so that its raised seams and thermal expansion joints further interpreted the design concept – 11.

Built with the assistance of £64 million from the National Lottery, The Lowry is the permanent home for the world’s largest collection of works by Salford artist L.S. Lowry. The amazing stainless steel clad structure - complete with Kalzip aluminium roofing - is the centrepiece of the Salford Quays area and is established as one of the city’s most popular arts and leisure venues.

The roof sections comprise more than 6,000 square metres of Kalzip 400 profile. The architects commented, “We chose Kalzip for reasons of economy and speed of construction. Much of the roof is constructed in stainless steel, but we needed the central areas to be made watertight quickly. Kalzip was ideal, it’s a good product”.

The complex design of the centre involved nine quite separate Kalzip roofs and although the overall area was not large, delivery to site and installation required careful planning and co-ordination.

1997 Brunel Award winner – ‘the best medium sized station in the world’.

Tapered Kalzip sheets in lengths of up to 14 metres form a partial dome over the entrance hall. The Kalzip sheets curve naturally to create a series of three barrel-vaulted canopies – each one being longer and narrow than the previous to give an elegant line to the entire structure.

Over 3,200 square metres of straight Kalzip sheets and 500 square metres of tapered Kalzip sheets were installed, all manufactured from aluminium clad alloy – a material unique to Kalzip which provides outstanding durability in demanding locations such as this.

Now nearing completion alongside the rail station is the airport’s new Ground Transport Interchange. This is the first intermodal interchange of its kind in the UK providing high quality facilities and a focal point for arriving and departing passengers accessing the airport via public transport.

A Kalzip roof has again been specified with more than 2,000 square metres of Kalzip 400 profile sheets in a stucco embossed finish being used to create the gently curving roof.

Jean Paul Colback from architects FaulknerBrowns specified Kalzip for several reasons, ‘It is an effective material with a good life span and it is very economical whilst presenting an excellent external appearance appropriate to a landmark project like this. Critical to our specification was the choice of a structural decking within the Kalzip system that could be configured to achieve the required levels of acoustic performance.’

Officially opened by Her Majesty, the Queen in October 2000, the Aquatics Centre is much more than just a pool. It is designed to be a leisure complex offering something for everyone and includes two 50 metre pools, a diving area and a ‘fun’ area complete with flumes, swimming and bubble pools.
