New clinic opens in East Yorkshire
A new health centre has opened in the East Riding of Yorkshire, constructed using a highly sustainable recycled modular building from Foremans Relocatable Building Systems. Designed by architects Gelder and Kitchen, the new purpose-designed centre was craned into position in just eight hours over a weekend. The single storey building has been clad in brickwork to com- plement its location in the historic village of Cottingham – a conservation area. Since closure of the clinic following the major floods in 2007, health services have been temporarily provided at other locations in the area. The new centre has brought a range of community services under one roof again, including podiatry; consultation, examination and treatment facilities; hearing aid services; child health clinics, and community dental services. Commenting on the project, Stephen Dale, capital projects manager at East Riding of Yorkshire Primary Care Trust, said “This is a fantastic building, delivered on time, cost and quality. Foremans’ performance was excellent throughout and the construction and fitting out phases went very smoothly. We had a good relationship with their team, who were happy to go the extra mile to meet our specific requirements. Speed of delivery was important to enable us to re-provide clinical services locally as quickly as possible. The use of a recycled building structure also made our budgets go further, providing excellent value, as well as having a number of strong environmental benefits.”

Integritank protection for luxurious development Stirling Lloyd’s Integritank waterproofing membrane has been used to protect a new commercial development at the luxurious neighbourhood of Al Zeina, the ‘strategic gateway’ to the Al Raha Beach Development in Abu Dhabi. The extensive detailing throu- ghout the site’s podium deck, including pla- nters, pods, water features, upstands and
steps, meant a trusted and 100 per cent effective waterproofing system was required. The initial contract involved some 80,000m² of Integritank, enabling these areas to be quickly, effectively and seamlessly protected with no vulnerable seams. The system was then subsequently chosen to waterproof some 19,000m² of balconies and roofs and almost 18,000m² of swimming pools.

Safetyworks & Solutions: at the top of the class! Safetyworks & Solutions Ltd has recently provided an upgraded roof safety and access system at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital School, in Bristol. As the school build- ing is Grade 1 listed, it was essential that the specified products not only met the safety requirements, but that they were also in accordance to English Heritage guide- lines. The solution was for Safetyworks to specify a range of products that would ensure safe movement around the roof enabling maintenance crews and exter- nal contractors secure access. Safetyworks installed ten Uniline 8mm Stainless Steel Systems to the tiled roofs, totalling 280m. Uniline allows “hands free” protection
throughout the length of the system, where the operator is attached via a link device that glides over the brackets without the need to detach from the fall protection system.
enq. 245 SureCav & stone walls... the perfect match!
Be sure to specify SureCav in your construction designs, saving your project time and money. SureCav is a 100 per cent recycled polypropylene panel that forms the cavity and allows a stone, slate or brick and flint outer skin to be built, without the need of an additional block leaf! Instead of ending up as landfill or incineration material, SureCav is manufactured by injection moulding process to produce a building material that demonstrates our care for the environment. SureCav comes out on top in reducing the Embodied CO2 (ECO2) footprint in new buildings as well as being 100 times lighter than concrete blocks, making site management and movement of materials much easier. The performance of SureCav is outstanding in ensuring that the cavity environment is completely protected, especially in areas of the UK where high humidity and rainfall is a constant problem. SureCav forms a complete barrier against the ingress of moisture, at the same time, providing a shutter for the external wall.
