TECHNAL MX STRUCTURAL GLAZING SUPPLIED FOR SUNDERLAND COLLEGE CONTRACT
»»
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BRANDnew college campus in the North-east has seen a leading fabricator for the Technal brand – part of the Sapa Group – design, manufacture and install a major glazing package, which included a double-storey façade featuring the use of the MX SG structural glazing system.
The flagship campus for Sunderland College was completed by BAM Construction in time for the start of the current academic year, with locally based Glasshus Ltd being the specialist fabricator involved. Such has been the success of the
relationship established during the project that Glasshus Ltd has gone on to be awarded three further contracts with BAM.
The new £ 29 million City Campus has been constructed on land opposite Park Lane Interchange and provides space for 2,000 students to undertake a range of courses including engineering, manufacturing and construction.
BAM’ s Design Manager, Mark Farnell, confirmed the growing interaction with Glasshus and its Technal system solutions. He said:“ This was the first time that Glasshus had worked for us, though since the successful completion of the Sunderland College contract, they have won three more jobs including a student accommodation building in Newcastle and a school in Sheffield.”
GOOD LOOKS AND LOWER EMISSIONS

BALLYMENA BASED FABRICATOR Apeer has recently upgraded its fleet to include three newly-branded Mercedes Sprinter delivery vans, which have been brought in to replace three of the company’ s more outdated vehicles.
Their eye-catching branding design, that displays Apeer doors on one side and the company’ s innovative Lumi windows on the other, was developed in-house by Apeer’ s marketing team and is a successful continuation of the company’ s aesthetic updates made to both of its websites and brochures earlier in the year.
“ We have received a really positive response from customers that have seen the new vehicles out on the road,’ said Linda Tomb, Marketing Manager.“ One of our drivers has even been stopped whilst parked at a local petrol station by someone asking where he could get the windows from.”
Director, Asa McGillian added:“ Not only do the vans look great with the fresh branding, but the van model we chose is also significantly better on both emissions and fuel efficiency which actively contributes to improving our company’ s carbon footprint.”
Asa concluded:“ The vans will partly be used to deliver smaller Lumi orders, but mostly they will be deployed to fulfil our UK wide deliveries of Apeer composite doors.”
