Door manufacturer and supplier Gilgen Door Systems has developed and installed bespoke sliding doors for new checkpoint security lanes at Manchester Airport. Gilgen installed the unique sliding doors that form part of new security gate systems. A total of ten gates have been installed five in terminal 1, three in terminal 2 and two in terminal 3 and form part of the departure security systems that allow passengers to pass from landside to airside. The new security check-
points direct passengers through a turnstile and a magnetic body scanner leading to a glass pod. When a passenger passes the security check, one of the Gilgen sliding doors opens allowing the passenger to continue through to reclaim belongings. t 0800 316 6994

170 TIME COST CONSCIOUS COMAR
Anyone with experience of British construction knows the time delays that can happen throughout the construction process. Once an order is placed the client/contractor needs to be on-site yesterday, systems companies therefore need to be able to deliver a JIT policy, with products that are available on demand and in full. Comar have built their business on market leading stock holding and fast-track deliv- ery. They have invested over £5 million in stock so that
their fabricators don’t have to. For polyester powder coating and dual colour Comar have invested in another facility next door to the industry renowned Barley Chalu, ensuring coating commences as soon as the order arrives. t 020 8685 9685

172 GAMMA ILLUMINATION
The renovation of the hospitality area in the West and South East Stand Quadrants of Old Trafford was a prestigious project, and the selected LED fittings, from Gamma Martech, had to help create a luxurious ambience that reflected the high-end surroundings. With this in mind the TTX 700 lumen, 3000K with 60° beam and centre etched glass was chosen for the ambient lighting in the corridor areas. This provided the perfect amount of light and offered a quality, and
aesthetically pleasing, fitting for the location. In addition to the TTX fittings, Syncro M, S1 and S2 LED lights were selected for the adjustable display lighting to highlight the various pictures. t 01924 482777

174 WHO NEEDS RHI WHEN THERE’S SAS?
Lee Housing was looking for an efficient heating system, where all components could be stored outside of the apartments, due to space constraints. Climate Facilities, a Space Air/Daikin approved dealer, offered and installed the complete Space Air Daikin Altherma HT System. Space Air for over 30 years has designed and manu- factured accessory components to compliment the Daikin product range, one of which is the weather-proofed enclosures. These were made for the indoor unit (con- taining a secondary DX cycle and heat exchanger to reach those higher temperatures efficiently) so it could be positioned outside of the building, along with the outdoor unit, as per the tender request. Every Space Air supplied system comes with pre- fabricated piping kits to optimise the energy efficiency of the system and wattmeter’s to monitor the energy usage of the Space Air Daikin Altherma air/water heat pump, the kits and meters are also covered in weather and vandal proofed enclosures. t 01483 252 252

173 TAKING BUILDING INTO THE 21ST CENTURY
A 45 year old Grade II* building is being preserved for posterity with input from Z-Led. St Cross Building Oxford is home of the Law Faculty and Bodleian Law Library. Its 45+ year-old buildings feature a copper roof now needing refurbishment and upgrading to modern standards. Building surveyors/project managers TMD wanted to minimise the impact of the upgrade, devising a solution that included installation of Z-Led HTR cavity trays below the line of the
atrium roof. London Wall Masonry removed the top three courses of brickwork below the roofline, and inserted the HTR trays as part of the project, which included stripping off the existing roof coverings, renewing the roof deck and fitting new insulation and copper roof coverings.
