Problem
The climate of Rajapalayam is semi-arid and the temperature range is 20 °C to 37 °C. It has a high mean temperature. The mill requires humid temperature controlled environment to process cotton yarns and fabrics. Moreover, washing, de-sizing, bleaching, rinsing, dyeing, printing, coating and finishing involves various chemical processes. Metal roof have little or no resistance to chemicals and processes employed in the mill. They start corroding rapidly exposing and risking the sophisticated machinery, processes, personnel and materials to the elements and structural failure.
