Busstation Halfway Tree - Kingston, Jamaica

Period: 2007

Architect: Euro Immo Star

Client: Iemants Belgium

Used materials: 9.000 m² of aluminium standing seam (Kalzip alclad stucco 305/65, thickness 1mm) and 2.400 m² of corrugated steel sheets (for the shops)

The roof had to be calculated according to the highest hurricane-standards. Because of the narrow space in the city center, ME Construct decided to profile the standing seam trays, with a length of up to 90 meters, on a special platform, created at the same height as the roof. All materials were shipped from Belgium, including all the flashings and the profiled sheets for the shops under the roof. Therefore, a detailed engineering up to the last screw, was necessary. In less than 5 months the complete roof and the shops were covered to complete satisfaction of the client and the architect.

Turnover: € 930.000
