ALDI Spalding

Spalding

Project Overview

Jupiter Construction successfully undertook a re-roofing project for the ALDI Spalding store, addressing a dilapidated concrete-tiled roof. The works included the removal of the existing roof covering, installation of an underlying board, and the placement of new concrete tiles in line with the specifications. Additionally, the project scope involved renewing aluminium capping to the gables, removing and reinstating solar panels, and implementing pest control measures.

The project was completed for ALDI UK, reporting to their Property Maintenance Department, and was managed by Edge Consulting with architectural input from the Harris Partnership.

Scope of Works

The scope of works included:

  • Setting up the site with standard welfare and segregation measures.
  • Providing access to the roof via scaffolding.
  • Safe and appropriate removal of nesting birds
  • Sequential removal and replacement of the roof covering, including underlying board and concrete tiles.
  • Clearing existing aluminium gutters and renewing parapet gutters.
  • Replacing aluminium cappings to the gables.
  • Removing and reinstating solar panels, incorporating pest control measures to prevent pigeons from roosting beneath them.

Key Challenges:

Public Accessibility:

The project required careful planning to minimise disruption to store operations and customers. This included adjusting working hours for the removal of tiles and ensuring pedestrian safety around the live store.

Pest Control:

A significant challenge was the presence of pigeons roosting beneath the solar panels. Jupiter Construction implemented measures to safely remove the pigeons and installed pest control systems to prevent future roosting.

Distance from Office:

The site’s location posed logistical challenges, requiring the team and subcontractors to work away from home. This project ran concurrently with the Aldi Bretton project, demanding effective remote coordination and oversight to ensure smooth and efficient delivery.

Successes

Jupiter Construction delivered a successful outcome for ALDI, achieving the following:

  • Providing a high-quality new pitched roof covering, addressing longstanding roof leaks and maintenance issues.
  • Incorporating pest control solutions that eliminated roosting problems and ensured long-term cleanliness and functionality of gutters and solar panels.
  • Completing the project within the original contract timeframe.
