Clydeport Operations – Port Glasgow Cruise Ship Terminal Canopies

Our client’s requirements were to make all points of exit/entry obvious to their passengers when disembarking their cruise ships and making their way via the terminal and across a very large open area to meet up with waiting coaches.

We have provided a range of Oxford barrel vault canopies with polycarbonate glazed roofs, all of which are freestanding and two include toughened glass side walls.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you fix your canopies directly onto tarmac?: No, all canopies are fixed on to concrete pads or bases as the structures can lift out from the ground if not fixed into a suitable concrete base due to the uplift created by wind acting on the roof area.
Are your canopies usable all year in all weathers?: Yes unlike some solutions that need to be taken down in the winter or during high winds our canopies are designed to be useable all year round. The cladding materials as well as providing shade are also waterproof so that they can be used during wet weather.
Do you use Polycarbonate, PETG, GRP or Acrylic for non fabric cladding?: At Clovis Canopies we use polycarbonate roofing as although slightly more expensive, we find it has a better combination of strength, impact resistance, sheet size and colour, fire / flame resistance and longevity of life than any of the other above mentioned cheaper materials.
How is the polycarbonate sheeting attached to the framework?: We use a two part glazing bar on our canopies with rubber gasket or cushions to attach the roof polycarbonate sheets as this allows for the expansion of the sheets as the weather heats up or cools down. The rubber gaskets as well as creating a watertight seal greatly reduce noise levels as the sheets expand and contract. We do not screw sheets directly to the framework as this can lead to the roofing sheets buckling and potentially causing leaks due to the possibility of screw heads popping off. In addition to this we never lap one sheet over the other as this can result in an algae build-up resulting in unsightly discoloured patches in the roof.

Hi, I would like to thank your staff for the excellent job on the canopy, I have had reports from the classroom staff and the admin team and all have said how polite your guys were, how well the work was carried out with minimum disturbance to the daily life of the children, many thanks.

R Dray, Site Manager, Foxwood School

Thank you, everyone at the hospital have been very complimentary about the design and build quality of this replacement canopy, I would like to personally thank you for managing this project and planning the works so that there has been no disruption to the hospital. I look forward to working with you on a future canopy project.

Clovis provides an excellent design service offering 2D and 3D drawing of the proposed canopies and quotation stage if required. This can be especially helpful to illustrate the proposed canopy to the client or Local planning Authority. Clovis will also visit the site if the host building has a complication or the canopy has an unusual configuration. When an order has been placed, service continues to be timely and flexible and the end product has always been delivered and installed on programme and to a very high standard. I have worked with Clovis Canopies for several years and have always found their response to be prompt, helpful an knowledgeable. We test the market value for every canopy that we procure and have found Clovis to be good value. I am often asked to pass on Clovis’s contact details to those who have seen the canopies.

Gawain Ferguson,

I am writing to express our satisfaction with our two new canopies, which will provide cover for our students at break and lunch times. We have found the staff of your company very professional from the outset, flexible in their approach and producing workmanship of a high standard. In particular, the construction team caused the least amount of disruption to our school working day. We would like to thank Gary, Warren and the team for all their hard work and would be pleased to recommend your product and your company to other schools.
