THREE projects that benefited from BriggsAmasco’s waterproofing expertise have been shortlisted at this year’s NFRC Scottish Roofing Awards.
The company is a finalist in the categories of Multi-Discipline Project, (Other) Flat Roofing, and Reinforced Bituminous Membranes.
The refurbishment of 18 roofs as part of an £8 million upgrade of the A-listed Rothesay Pavilion on the Isle of Bute earned BriggsAmasco’s shortlisting in the Multi-Discipline category. The complex project involved the installation of a hybrid waterproof system that included a levelling screed and a cold-applied, liquid polyurethane membrane. The roof refurbishment is integral to transforming the pavilion into a vibrant hub for leisure, culture and entertainment.
BriggsAmasco’s refurbishment of Edinburgh’s Crawford Bridge gained a nomination in the (Other) Flat Roofing category. The bridge’s steep-gradient design presented a challenge to operatives during the multi-stage programme, which was crucial to ensuring fans of Hibernian Football Club had convenient access to Easter Road Stadium.
Briggs’ completion of a huge roof refurbishment at Aberdeen Royal Mail Distribution Centre is another finalist, this time in the Reinforced Bituminous Membranes category. The installation of a dual bitumen-based underlay and cap sheet solution over a 13,000m2 area is the largest roofing project carried out by the company’s Aberdeen branch.
Tony Lawther, MD at BriggsAmasco, said, “While having one project nominated would have been excellent, the shortlisting of three projects is a clear testament to the expertise and professionalism of our teams in Scotland. The NFRC awards hold significant prestige, as they actively help promote the talent and skills of roofing personnel throughout the region. We are immensely proud that BriggsAmasco has been recognised among this high-calibre field.”
Winners will be announced at a luncheon on October 24 at the Grand Central Hotel, Glasgow.
