Tesco Superstore

Working for high profile client Tesco, the project involved meeting strict deadlines to achieve a vital store opening date for this 58,000sq ft Tesco superstore. The project included curtain walling to one full elevation and a quantity of aluminium windows and more curtain walling to the end elevations. A significant factor in this project was the ability to meet stringent energy and air-tightness requirements. We also constructed an entrance foyer in line with Tesco’s drive for improved energy efficiency in-store.

St Benedicts College

This large-scale project involved carrying out extensive installations to this post primary school college when the school was functioning. It was vital that minimum disruption was caused to the school’s live working environment. Working for the local Education Authority, we replaced all the PVCu windows including the installation of new steel lintels. We also completed repairs to the existing roof down-stand and several concrete window cills. The property is a two-storey detached college located in Randalstown, Co. Antrim.

Office & Retail Development

Working for main contractor JH Turkington & Sons on a Belfast city centre commercial office development project. The project consisted of installing curtain walling, aluminium windows and balcony doors. The project was unique as the building’s glazed front façade leans outwards away from the building and overhangs the street. The front facade also incorporates three glass roofs which required rigorous design details to ensure the integrity of the building envelope. Access to the site was limited, however we completed the project on time and to our usual high standard. As part of the project, we also installed glazing and access to an upper exterior mezzanine area.

Tesco Supermarket

For this large-scale project, Turkington Aluminium & PVC had responsibility for all the glazing elements of this Tesco store. The project involved the installation of a large glazed envelope, curtain walling, and entry doors. The glazing forms an integral part of the building’s frontage which includes 1350m² of curtain walling and several automatic sliding doors. All work was completed on schedule in eight weeks and despite being manufactured to an agreed specification, extensive on-site assembly was still required. The value of the contract was in the region of £500k.

Eastpoint Entertainment Village

Working for main contractor JH Turkington & Sons at Eastpoint Entertainment Village in Belfast. Eastpoint is a leisure and entertainment destination, located east of Belfast. It is anchored by an eight screen Omniplex cinema which is adjoined by several high specification restaurant and retail units. For the project, we installed curtain walling on the Omniplex Cinema and shop front screens and commercial doors on the individual restaurants and units.

Aldi Supermarkets

Turkington Aluminium & PVC are the approved supplier of windows, doors, shop fronts, and curtain wall systems for Aldi’s supermarket expansion programme. During this project, we worked on 18 new Aldi supermarkets at various locations across Ireland. Both product and service levels were critical, with a fast track turnaround and quality of the final product key to a successful project handover.

Social Housing, Flintshire

Turkington Aluminium & PVC completed a Secured by Design composite door replacement contract to over 400 properties for Flintshire County Council in North Wales. The work was carried out under the Better Homes programme and involved tenant liaison and coordinating public meetings to inform the various stakeholders on plans and progress. The project was successfully completed on schedule and met all necessary criteria.
