A LOCAL metal roofing and wall-cladding solutions provider has been officially recognised by Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR) for achieving the longest roofing sheet, measuring 166.49m, installed at the YLL Supply Chain Hub in Sungai Buaya, Selangor.
The YLL Supply Chain Hub is designed to support high-volume logistics operations that require a roofing solution capable of long spans, durability and operational efficiency.
United Seasons Sdn Bhd general manager (projects) Zaidi Semail said the roofing sheets were produced as single and seamless units without any joints, designed to address technical challenges posed by Malaysia’s weather such as increased rainfall intensity.
He said the single-piece roofing systems reduced the risk of leakage and simplify maintenance, especially for buildings housing sensitive equipment such as electronic manufacturing facilities.
“Today’s certificate is for the longest roof in one piece. (Previously), people made long roofs but there were joints.
“This system is rarely used for large projects,” he told reporters after the certificate presentation by MBOR representative Menaga Vadamalai, Bernama reported.
Company managing director P. Dhanabalan said the achievement was also distinguished by the installation method, whereby the roofing sheets were roll-formed directly at roof level, enabling greater precision, efficiency and installation quality, while minimising handling and the risk of damage.
