MNP carried out a visual walk-around survey of the steel portal frame construction to assess the extent of the damage. The roof structure had completely collapsed as a result of loss of strength due to the high temperature of the fire, whilst steel rafters and columns were twisted and buckled.
We concluded that the structural frame and cladding were damaged beyond repair, and other areas were deemed uneconomically repairable. The structure was demolished, and a new industrial unit built.
