Teesside roofing firm completes successful build in the Middle East

A roofing design company has completed work on a multi-million pound steelworks in the Middle East.

Based in Fusion Hive, Stockton and launched in 2014, Tapered Plus has worked on the AI Taweelah Alumina Rolling Mill in Abu Dhabi, using technology built in the North East.

Aman Chahal, director and co-founder of Tapered Plus, said: “The Al Taweelah project is a big milestone for Tapered Plus and we’re very proud of our involvement.

“The project was significant - one of the largest industrial construction sites in the UAE and only the second to be built in the Middle East. Taking Teesside expertise and technology overseas is a great feeling and we’re hoping this work will on to more in the region.”

The business specialises in tapered insulation for flat roofs, as well as creating designs and supplying materials.

In the region, Tapered Plus has been working on other projects including the Feethams Leisure Scheme in Darlington, as well as the Victoria Gate shopping centre in Leeds, Yorkshire.

Chahal added that the company has also worked with its Fusion Hive neighbours, Sapere Software.

He commented: “Sapere built us a mobile and web-based app that helps our consultants to estimate when they’re out in the field.

“Our team is often in remote sites with no data connection so this tool helps them gather and process the information on jobs. It’s fantastic to be able to work closely with other businesses on our doorstep.

“There is a wealth of expertise and skill to be drawn on across Teesside.”
