Hathaway delivered an extensive roofing and wall cladding package for Aldi’s landmark distribution centre in Bardon, one of the largest logistics developments in Europe. Spanning approximately 1.3 million sq ft, the facility is equivalent in size to almost 17 football pitches.
The building envelope incorporated Kingspan QuadCore insulated roofing systems across the main ambient chambers and associated buildings, alongside multiple insulated wall panel systems and fire-rated cladding. The works also included extensive GRP rooflights, parapet cladding, PPC aluminium copings, Dri-Design rainscreen detailing and syphonic roof drainage systems.
The scale and complexity of the works demonstrate Hathaway’s expertise in delivering high-performance building envelopes for major logistics developments, combining thermal efficiency, fire performance and architectural detailing across an extensive regional distribution centre.
