Penygelli County Primary School, Coedpoeth, North Wales
Main Contractor: Mowlem Plc
Installer: Bracknell Roofing
Client: Wrexham County Borough Council


  PROBLEM

The new Penygelli County Primary School, at Coedpoeth in North Wales, is a single storey building with large pitched roofs in an area of maximum wind exposure. It required a reliable high performance fixing that would resist all loadings while supporting the laid tile weight of 50Kg/m2 and InSkews were ideally suited.


  SOLUTION

ISP Architects, project architects for design and build contractor Mowlem Plc (now part of Carillion), provided the Helifix Technical Department with drawings and details of the school’s roof construction and were then provided with an InSkew specification.

Due to its size and location, the 2,300m2 roof with pitches ranging from 20°-27°, required 22,000 x 190mm InSkews to secure the counter battens through 100mm of insulation.
