Fire protection drainage from ACO Building Drainage designed to protect occupants With so many new build and refurbishment projects catering for multi-occupancy dwellings, the integrity of compartmentation required to prevent fire propagation can be compromised by drainage penetrations in separating floors, allowing the passage of flame and smoke from exposed to unexposed areas. ACO Building Drainage, the leading specialist in the development of drainage systems and building products, has designed its Selecta floor gulley range to offer fire-resistant properties that provide added protection for building occupants against fire. Designed and manufactured to BS EN 1253,
the cast iron Selecta floor gulley is suitable for solid and suspended concrete floors, and incorporates an intumescent fire cartridge that both reduces smoke transfer to other building floor levels and prevents oxygen paths that
feed fire. The fire protection cartridge has been tested in accordance with BS EN 1366, ensuring performance in even in the most severe fire situations. l For more information visit

Thermal energy storage Phase Change Materials (PCM) store and release thermal energy during the process of melting and freezing, and the latest range of PCM solutions between -100ºC and +885 ºC offer new application opportunities. For example, using free cooling circuits overnight, +15ºC containers can be charged without any mechanical refrigeration. This stored free energy later serves the chilled ceiling circuit to absorb sensible building loads during daytime. Using free nighttime cool energy is not only environmentally-friendly, but also offers lower initial installation cost, with significantly reduced system running cost. l For more information call 01733 245511 or visit

Belmarsh sets new standards Belmarsh is a Category A men’s prison in London that first opened in 1991. Since then it has suffered from increasing overcrowding problems. The decision was therefore made to provide a new Category B facility at Belmarsh under a £415m PFI contract. Consulting Engineers Hulley & Kirkwood worked with selected key partners, including Grundfos Pumps, in order to deliver the highest BREEAM standards possible. The outcome is that the main houseblock has achieved a worldwide first rating of ‘outstanding’ for such a building, with the other nine achieving a rating of ‘excellent’. l For more information call 01525 850000 or email
