Project Highlights
- The project utilized Bluetop’s BION solar carport structures, designed to provide both shelter and solar energy generation across 250 parking spaces.
- Due to site-specific conditions at Capital Park, the structures were installed with a combination of concrete and pile foundations, ensuring stability and durability.
- Zinc-coated half-round gutters and drainage systems prevent water accumulation and enhance structural longevity. Suitable for long-term outdoor exposure in the UK climate.
