Protecting places of worship from the elements

When a non-profit Sikh organisation put repair work to the dome of their place of worship (gurdwara) out to tender, the quotes they received were too high and they were worried they wouldn’t be able to complete the project. However, BSF Group assured them we could do this work within their strict budget. With help from Comar and our in-house design team, we manufactured and installed an amazing structurally-glazed dome from curtain walling. The dome creates a fantastic centre piece that leaves visitors to this religious space in awe. It was our first dome designed, manufactured and installed in-house and since then we’ve completed other works for churches, mosques and temples and for the main contractor Build Tech Integrated Services.
