Main Contractor Willmott Dixon recently completed Castlerock High School in Leicestershire as a showcase highlighting key successes of the project to other Local Authorities. An open day was held on 23rd August 2006 where McVeigh SIPs were invited along to exhibit our Structural Panels. Over 10,000m2 of SIPs were supplied and installed by McVeigh to construct the walls and roof aiding a rapid completion of the building envelope. The walls 150mm thick with a U value of 0.17W/m2 are finished externally with Cedar Cladding and masonry. The roof panels 180mm thick with a U value of 0.14W/m2 use their inherent structural properties to provides the diaphragm action to the Glulam frame. Jonathon Porritt, Chairman of the UK Sustainable Development Commission a guest speaker at the event praised the designers' selection of sustainable products.

We have recently moved to larger premises at Hyde. The move was necessary for us to pursue our involvement in engineering Structural Insulated Panels. We have a dedicated workshop with modern wood working machinery which we use to fabricate SIPs. In addition to this we are expanding into an adjacent unit which will be used for a second production line and assembling SIPs together forming complete elevations together with various rain screen cladding options ready for installation on site.
