For the wave-form roof of Liverpool South Parkway Interchange, Kalzip's aluminium sheets were specified for their versatility.
Over 200 different types of shaped and tapered Kalzip sheets were installed, some of which bend in three different directions. Sheets varied in size and radii over the area of the 3000m roof. Each tailored sheet was individually designed using three-dimensional computer-aided-design technology prior to manufacture.
As the company's aluminium can be recycled without losing its inherent qualities, over 30% of the sheets specified were made from recycled aluminium.
In addition to the roof of the Interchange, sheets were also installed on the canopy that links the building to the nearby platform. This led to track side training to complete the work safely and efficiently in a live rail environment.
