Welsh Assembly Building
The Llandudno Junction Office, as it is called, is one of three Welsh Assembly government administrative hubs sited in the Principality. The offices opened in September 2010, cover 8000 sq m and accommodate up to 650 staff. The design of the building incorporates local materials, including the famous slate from Penrhyn Quarry in Bethesda. In addition, the Llandudno Junction office has won several Green accreditations such as a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating and has, uniquely in Wales, an EPC "A" rating (the average for public buildings is "D"), becoming the most energy efficient government building in the region.
Such a prestigious project required particular attention to every detail. For this reason the architects and contractors selected the well known brand of fabricated access covers, ACO Alucover. This recessed aluminium access cover provides a high quality and lightweight solution, with an integrated grit seal and secure 4-point corner locking. Its precision manufacture ensures minimal gap between frame and cover, making it the ideal choice for aesthetically sensitive projects. In addition, thanks to its robust and well engineered construction, the cover remains dimensionally stable even after infill, as well as being extremely easy to install.
