Located on Wireless Road in Bangkok, the Chancellery Building of the Netherlands Embassy underwent a significant upgrade in 2020. This project, commissioned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, focused on replacing the existing roof and integrating solar power, marking a step towards sustainability and energy efficiency.

Comprehensive Roof Replacement and Solar Integration

The project, completed in just six months, involved a meticulous process of removing and replacing the existing roof structure to support solar PV panels. CMI provided a turn-key design and construction solution, ensuring that the new roof was both functional and capable of supporting the solar power system. Key services included:

• Removal and Replacement of Existing Roof: Carefully dismantling the old roof and installing a new, robust structure.
• Support for Solar PV Panels: Designing the new roof to accommodate and optimise the performance of solar panels.

Seamless Execution

One of the standout aspects of this project was the ability to replace the roof while the office building below continued to function as usual. This required precise planning and execution to minimize disruption and ensure the safety of all occupants.

Solutions Provided/Value Added

The turn-key design and construction approach ensured a seamless transition to the new roof structure. The integration of solar power not only modernised the building but also contributed to its sustainability goals. This project exemplifies how thoughtful design and execution can lead to significant improvements in both functionality and environmental impact.

The NL Embassy’s Chancellery Building Roof Replacement and Solar Power Integration project is a prime example of how modern engineering solutions can enhance the sustainability and efficiency of office buildings. Completed in 2020, this project stands as a testament to the commitment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to sustainable development and innovation.
