Camp Bodney Flat Roofing Repair
Cambridge Roofers Ltd successfully delivered the Camp Bodney Flat Roofing Repair at Building 17, a high-security Ministry of Defence (MOD) site in Thetford. This complex project required strict adherence to security protocols, major structural work, and upgrades to improve the thermal performance of the kitchen and dining facilities for incoming military personnel.
Project Challenges
The project involved unique challenges. All personnel had to pass extensive security checks to gain clearance. Works required the stripping of the existing metal roof and plywood decking down to joist level, a process demanding precision to avoid structural damage. Another key requirement was enhancing the thermal performance with 130mm PIR insulation. Close coordination with M&E engineers was critical to ensure services were reinstated without delays.
Our Approach
-
Expert Team with Clearance: A dedicated team with full MOD security clearance managed all on-site operations.
-
Thermal Enhancement: Installation of 130mm PIR insulation improved comfort in the kitchen and dining areas.
-
Complex Stripping: Existing roof layers were stripped to the joists carefully, protecting structural integrity.
-
Coordination with M&E Engineers: Collaboration ensured seamless reinstatement of services within time and budget.
-
Material Selection: We installed Lancastria’s Endura torch-on felt system with capping sheets and underlay in charcoal, chosen for durability and compliance.
-
Regulatory Compliance: All works met BS8217:2005 standards, with full Building Control documentation secured.
