Wash Bay Canopy Installed in Chippenham

Richard contacted us regarding a car valet canopy for Bathwick Car & Van Hire. Due to harsh weather conditions, Richard wanted to please his workforce and offer them protection by installing a wash bay canopy. As workers would be underneath the canopy for most of the day, the wash bay canopy absolutely had to be structurally sound.

Following our estimate we organised a site survey so that we could assess the situation, for example, thr ground condition. Due to the existing concrete pad and easy access it quickly because apparent that this would be an easy job for the Kappion team. Additionally, there was already a sufficient concrete base in situ. We also discussed side panelling for protection against the wind and rain as well as to obstruct overspray from the jet wash polluting the area where clean cars were parked.

Once Richard confirmed the size of the canopy he opted for infill panels on both sides and the rear of the canopy. The production drawings were raised and signed off by Richard. He chose not to have the framework powder coated as aesthetics were not important. We specified clear polycarbonate for the roof and side panelling, thus letting as much light as possible flood into the work area underneath the canopy.

The installation was completed within two days and even by the end of the first day, the framework was bolted, secured and levelled in preparation for the roof glazing and side infill panelling. Finally, the canopy was cleaned and inspected by Richard.

After the installation, it was evident that the galvanised finish and clear polycarbonate panelling worked well together. The canopy looked substantial and the working area underneath the canopy was light and airy.
