Tesco shops for steel expertise

Caunton Engineering is supplying and erecting more than 1,300t of structural steelwork on behalf of main contractor Bowmer & Kirkland for a new Tesco supermarket in Walsall.

The structure consists of a two-storey building which has required a large amount of cellular beams to form long open spans and to accept the store’s M&E services.

The store, which is located on the plot of a former college, is due to open for business in early 2011.
