GRP Replacement Roof, Double Door & Wall Panels for National Grid at Monk Fryston 400KV Substation

Quinshield recently installed a replacement Roof, Double Door & Wall panel system onto an existing GRP structure at Monk Fryston Substation.

National Grid are experiencing building failures on a large number of Substations all over the UK. The existing Competitor’s GRP structures have incurred significant structural degradation on the outer layer of Resin/Matt particularly on the roof & South facing walls allowing rainwater to penetrate the structural timber core.

The existing buildings cannot be removed due to the sensitive nature of the internal electrical equipment.

Features of this particular GRP Building System:

The System as a whole can be manufactured in a relatively short amount of time.
The total installation takes can be carried out in a day.
The System can be installed in panel form, minimising the size of individual GRP elements.
The entire Building System can be installed without accessing the existing building.
