Trussed Rafters Answer Regeneration Challenges
Harlow Timber Systems has supplied a large number of factory fabricated monopitch trusses for a council-led project that has brought an area of derelict industrial land back into use.
We worked with Chesterfield Borough Council and contractor, GF Tomlinson to solve the design problems associated with constructing a large workshop building in Staveley.
We were brought on board early enough in the project to ensure that we were able to influence the design to make significant savings on the amount of steel required to support the 56m long 28m wide roof. The final solution featured an arrangement of 12m long mono-trusses connected on site to a series of 16m long stub trusses; all supported by a main steel girder running the length of the structure. A total of 275 trusses in 20 different configurations were produced for the project.
We were able to offer Chesterfield's architectural department further savings by removing the diagonal brace at the upper end of the stub truss so that a maintenance walway with service routing could be created.
Covered by a lightweight metal tiling system, laid over battens and counter-battens, the roof to the Staveley building features hipped ends.
The development has now been let to tenants.
