Having successfully
completed work on phase one of the £140m Rushden Lakes development in the Nene
Valley, Northamptonshire, CA Roofing Services, along with CA Group's specialist
cladding division SCS, has confirmed that it has been awarded phase two of the
development.
The second phase of
work consists of an additional single storey terrace, bringing the total number
of terraces, featuring some of UK’s biggest high street shopping brands, to
four.
In addition, phase
two will include a large leisure block, which will be split into a Cineworld
14-screen iMax cinema complex and a selection of restaurants serving a range of
premium food and beverages.
Danny Nelson,
Business Delivery Director for Winvic, explained: “Phase one of activity at
Rushden Lakes saw the site really begin to take shape but this second phase
will transform it into a recognisable retail, leisure and tourism destination.
Our success in securing this additional phase, is due in no small part to the
dedication and level of expertise on which we were able to draw, from within
our own business and that of our carefully chosen partners.”
The development will
feature a combination of CA Group’s Twin-Therm® built-up roof and wall system
on the terrace and the company’s River-Therm® secret fix roof system, on the
cinema complex, the latter being specified due to the roof pitch being as low as
two degrees, necessitating the need for a standing seam system.
Shop fronts will be
clad in a combination of stone rainscreen from Shackerley (Holdings) Group
Limited, sourced in Italy and fabricated in Chorley, Lancashire, and CA Group’s
Prime SFX Rainscreen System, which will be modified to various depths and widths
in order to create a visually stunning 3D effect.
Michael Cinnamond,
Divisional Manager for Specialist Cladding Systems, explained: “The combination
of buildings on the project and their various functions enables us as a team to
demonstrate our wide ranging skills and ability to adapt and integrate various
products into the development for maximum effect. As a single source supplier,
with manufacturing capability and extensive know-how in this area, we welcome
the opportunity to take on and resolve the challenges presented by such a
groundbreaking development.”
At a height of 28
meters, the cinema complex towers above the other buildings on the development.
In order to maximise its aesthetic appeal, the upper section of the building
will be clad in mirror-polished, stainless steel panels, designed to reflect the
sky.
Steven Forster,
Sales and Estimating Director, CA Roofing Services, added: “We are
delighted to have secured phase two of this showcase development, working
closely with main contractor Winvic, a relationship which has been built on
many years of successful collaboration.”
Work on the project
is expected to complete in August 2018.
