It sticks to boots, it clings to toes,
It sneaks inside where no one goes.
You wipe your feet? Don’t kid yourself,
It’s now on walls, and doors, and shelves.

Born of rain and broken ground,
Site mud spreads fast, without a sound.
We fight it daily, mop and broom,
Tomorrow? Mud. Again. Assume.

Here's a sneak peek at how the Highlight Leisure Centre at Hartlepool is progressing. This video shows off the stunning anodised aluminium shingles in AluGold 00, 01 and AluNatura. Manufactured and supplied by Sotech Optima and installed by Chemplas Ltd.

Designed by GT3 Architects, Highlight’s strong linear lines are inspired by the railway tracks which ran from local timber and coal yards into the former dockland site during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The building grows in height from west to east and offers incredible views of the wider waterfront site, marina and sea.

We tried to do a serious Christmas photoshoot but everyone was just too cheerful.

The drawings are signed off, the inbox is (almost) under control, and the Christmas jumpers are out in force.

From the Chemplas office team, thank you to everyone who’s made this year run smoothly — site teams, clients, and suppliers alike. We’re proud to support the work that gets built on site every day.

It’s not quite our last day but for now, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a well-earned break.
