New Record for Speed of Construction Following Cumbria Floods set by Tesco and Yorkon

Award-winning modular buildings specialist and Portakabin subsidiary, Yorkon, has set a new record for speed of construction to help Tesco ease some of the problems facing the flood-hit community of Workington in Cumbria.

A new, 13,300sqft purpose-built interim Tesco supermarket was delivered and installed on a brownfield site in an unprecedented 18 hours, and open and trading just 13 days after start on site.

The Yorkon off-site construction team worked through the night, completing the installation of the store at 6am ready for shop fitting to begin.
