Located at 41 Northgate, in the White Lund Industrial estate, the new AXA building stands tall as the commercial headquarters for the insurance giant. Built in the 1990s, the structure has been an essential part of AXA’s operations for decades. However, as time passed, the roof area reached the end of its serviceable life expectancy, necessitating a transformative addition to the landscape of Morecambe.

Challenges

Storage on site was minimal and therefore the PIR Tapered insulation scheme had to be delivered in two separate loads to ensure logistical challenges were met whilst ensuring installation sequencing and continuation.

Solution

Working alongside TSL and CBRE as the Facilities Management Company, this is an excellent example of a failing waterproofing system that was overlaid using a self adhesive VCL, tapered insulation and a two layer bituminous system offering the Client a 20 year Warranty. By carrying out a U Value assessment after completion the U Value of the roof area was increased from 3.21w/m2k to 0.17w/m2k.
