"England’s first hydro-electric power station has fitted Marley’s fibre-cement Profile 6 sheeting as part of major refurbishment work.

Built in 1932 and based in Tavistock, Devon, Mary Tavy Hydro-electric Power Station generates enough electricity for 2,500 homes, and was once the largest hydro-electric scheme in England. 

It is owned and operated by South West Water, who took the decision to specify Profile 6 sheeting after realising that the original fibre-cement sheets used for the roof of the turbine hall had lasted for over seventy years."
