Uniclass EPIC L52:P43 E3:X421 CI/SfB (47) Xh4 June 2002 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.
