NATIONAL GALLERIES (completed january 2009)
Refurbishment of existing roofs
Client - National Galleries of Scotland
Multi million pound art treasures were on show inside the building which remained open to the public throughout our works.
The building is a category A listed building and a large number of complex detailing issues arose due to the shape of the stonework features at roof level. In addition, much of the natural light for the art exhibits was provided by major architectural glazed units on the roof.
Our operatives were in weekly contact with Sarnafil U.K. Technical Department to discuss and resolve detailing issues.
The client was delighted with the workmanship and there was no disruption to the working of the Galleries throughout the project.
This project won the top award at the N.F.R.C. annual awards ceremony
