National Railway Museum, York
The National Railway Museum purchased the Aldek some 10 to 12 years ago with a PVC Cladding, and over the years of hard work in an industrial environment, the PVC had degraded.
The original PVC did not possess any of the modern hi-tech lacquers that are available today. J & J Carter were commissioned to replace the PVC/PES Cladding to steel truss portal frame structure, measuring 25m x 44m x 10m, covering a surface area of 2362 sq.m (25,424 sq.ft)
The building's use had also changed and latterly requiring new doors over the railway lines to enable the trains to be moved in and out of the museum buildings.
The Aldek also serves as a hospitality venue for corporate events.
