initially suitable for this type of installation. Our European
design team fabricated alterations to deal with the
complexity of the roof and worked with the steel
contractor to implement these modifications. The intricacy
of the roof was also a significant consideration in the design
and manufacture of the refrigeration plant.
At Space Engineering Services we are experienced at
overcoming challenges, ensuring projects are delivered
on-time, on budget and to our customers’ expectations.
The Dęblin store presented its own unique challenges, from
design adjustments to extreme weather conditions.

The Polish winter weather and strong winds also made
the positioning of the roof top refrigeration system more
problematic. Manoeuvring large and heavy equipment at
high altitudes in these wintry conditions can often cause
project delays of up to five days. The installation team

successfully position the plant in the centre of the roof.
