The new manufacturing building was constructed using reinforced concrete foundations and a structural steel frame with both precast and insitu composite metal deck concrete suspended floor slabs. The façade consists of insulated architectural cladding panels, curtain wall glazing and architectural brickwork, while the roof has a metal roof deck and Trocal roofing membrane.
