 ACO Water Management


By exploiting the hydraulic character- istics of a forced vortex, the new ACO Q-Brake Vortex stormwater discharge flow controller allows up to a 10 per cent cost saving in upstream surface water storage infrastruc- ture. Developed by ACO Water Management, the efficient mechanism, which has no moving parts, allows an outlet cross section 4-6 times larger than traditional flow controllers making it less prone to blockage, easier to


maintain and, by permitting higher flows at lower head pressures, signifi- cantly reduces stormwater storage volume requirements. Each ACO Q-Brake Vortex is individually sized and manufactured to the requirements of a specific project.


NCC Streetscape Purmo


Purmo provides a Type 33 version of its popular compact radiator for the UK market, especially for those wish- ing to make use of renewable energy sources and technologies. The com- pact is an easily controllable and highly responsive heat emitter. The Compact Type 33 is an excellent choice for heating systems operating at lower temperatures, providing significantly more BTU heat output than a double panel radiator of


comparable height and width. Despite its three panels the Compact Type 33 still lives up to its name with as slight a profile depth as possible for its output, neatly streamlined with side panels and top grilles supplied as standard.


The owners of this private residence at Camberley in Surrey wanted to create attractive patios and pathways extending all around the main house and its detached annexe, which holds a large indoor swimming pool and gymnasium. The paving specialists from Buds Landscapes used Raj Green Indian Sandstone slabs together with additional natural stone setts, and to provide the optimum aesthetics and ensure long-term, weed free durability, all of the paving was pointed and jointed with vdw 800 Jointing Mortar in a sand beige colour. Buds also prefer to install high quality paving with this advanced grouting material from NCC Streetscape, because its slurry application is extremely fast and self compacting into the joints, which saves considerable pointing time on site. Additionally, as it is non-staining and not cement based, the cleaning requirements for the paved surfaces on completion are also greatly reduced and as a result there is no contaminated water run-off, nor any potentially dam- aging cement blockages in any adjacent drainage system.

The owners of this courtyard garden at Bracknell in Berkshire wanted the whole area paved to falls, using top quality random sized, cut Black Limestone slabs. To contrast with this strong black colour, the owner also required that the jointing was to be made in a durable light colour shade, to add to the overall aesthetics. They were also concerned that the jointing mortar must be non-staining, so that it did not adversely affect the stunning stone surfaces, as cement based joint- ing mortars can frequently do and which then require extensive and repeated cleaning and washing to remove them from the surface. The specialists from Buds Landscaping selected vdw 800 Paving Jointing Mortar from NCC Streetscape, in a contrasting sand beige, to ensure that they met all of the owner’s strict requirements. GftK’s vdw 800 Paving Jointing Mortar is non-staining and contains no cement as it is based on water dispersed epoxy resins. Additionally, it is installed quickly by slurry application, even in wet weather, and then it rapidly hardens, ready to put the areas into use quickly and provide a durable surface for the long-term.
