Stirling Lloyd's Integritank waterproofing membrane has been used to protect a new commercial develop- ment at the luxurious neighbourhood of Al Zeina, the ‘strategic gateway’ to the Al Raha Beach Development in Abu Dhabi. The extensive detailing throughout the site’s podium deck, including planters, 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. t 01565 633111 www.stirlinglloyd.com


180 LEAKING ROOF IS OLD NEWS AT LEICESTER MERCURY


For the flat roof at the Leicester Mercury there is no loss in performance evident as the hardwearing Kemperol waterproofing system installed back in 1977 reaches its 35th


birthday. “Here we are in the


Queen’s Diamond Jubilee year and there can’t be many things that still perform as well today as they did when she celebrated her Silver Jubilee back in 1977,” com- ments Harry Cowell, managing director of Kemper System. “The Leicester Mercury was one of the first


ever jobs to benefit from Kemperol technology in the UK and the fact that it is still going strong 35 years on demonstrates the excellent protection it offers despite the number of freezing winters and wet summers in between.” t 01925 445532 www.kempersystem.co.uk


182 SILVER ART – JOIN THE ALUMINIUM REVOLUTION


Flag-Soprema’s Silver Art membrane is an innovative combination of real aluminium particles and proven waterproofing membrane that guarantees 3D flexibil- ity, perfect application on unusual designs, and a visu- ally stunning alternative to traditional metal roofing. Silver Art membrane is the perfect synthesis between quality and aesthetics, suitable for mechanically fixed or fully adhered systems. The silver effect is produced by the aluminium particles, which give the silver finish


to the waterproofing membrane, onto which standing seam profiles can be heat welded. The membrane and standing seam profiles are fully recyclable and comply with the requirements of the European consortium – ROOFCOLLECT®. t 0845 194 8727 www.flag-soprema.co.uk


184 LEANING BRICK PANELS SECURED


The outer leaf brick panels on two main elevations at the Johnson & Johnson Vision Centre in Sunbury on Thames were leaning outwards, becoming progres- sively worse and raising safety concerns. Constructed just 25 years ago, weak galvanised wire ‘butterfly’ ties had been used, which were not strong enough to support the outer wall. Over 5,000 stainless steel RetroTies from Helifix provided a rapid and reliable solution. Inserted through clearance holes in the


brickwork and driven into inner leaf pilot holes, the ties were then resin bonded into the outer leaf to fully secure the brick panels. After making good the outer brick panels were stabilised and made completely safe for the future. t 020 8735 5200 www.helifix.co.uk


181 POLYPIPE CIVILS LAUNCHES APPRENTICESHIP SCHEME


Polypipe Civils has taken on two new apprentices following the launch of its Advanced Engineering Apprenticeship in fabrication and welding. Kieran Sayer and Callum Collins, both 16, joined the man- ufacturer in September after successfully passing an intensive two-stage interview process. The two suc- cessful candidates are working within Polypipe Civils’ state-of-the-art, in-house fabrications department, where they are currently focusing on the fittings for


Polypipe Civils’ Ridgidrain Plus range. “When I finished school I didn’t want just a job, I wanted a career,” comments Kieran. “The apprenticeship scheme at Polypipe Civils is brilliant, because not only am I being trained in fabrications and welding, but I’m also learning and improving on key skills.”


183 STEADMANS PRODUCTS ARE TOP OF LEAGUE


Building products manufacturer Steadmans has supplied materials including roof and wall cladding for a key redevelopment project at Glenavon Football Club’s stadium in Lurgan, Co Armagh. The company supplied 186 linear metres of ocean blue 0.7 plastisol- coated AS34 single-skin cladding for the roof of the redeveloped Crescent End stand of the IFA Carling Premiership club’s Mourneview Park ground. It also provided matching roof lights, plus ridge and eaves


fillers. In addition, Steadmans supplied 183 linear metres of ocean blue 0.5 plasti- sol-coated AS34 cladding for the side walls of the enclosure. Steadmans cladding products were the choice of specifier and installer H McLarnon & Sons of Ballymena, Co Antrim.


185 REMMERS MAKE MIXING SIMPLE WITH INNOVATIVE NEW PACKAGING


With the increasing demands for the safe disposal of packaging, Remmers continue to lead the way in innovative packaging solutions by reducing the impact on the environment when it comes to disposal.


The task – how can we make mixing resins and hardeners ‘fool proof ’? The solution is brilliantly simple – deliver the products in a multi-chamber bag.


With this new bag mixing errors are now impossible. The components are packaged in the current mixing ratio in a single plastic bag separated by a plastic clip, which when removed; the two components in the closed bag can be safely and cleanly mixed by kneading. It takes less than 60 seconds.


After mixing, the contents of the bag are cleanly squeezed out through a screw-on nozzle just by rolling up the bag. You do not need any tools for mixing and contact with skin is avoided. That not only reduces packaging waste but also any health risks.
