Complying with the requirements of EN
1433, the PP is given its UV resistance by adding just sufficient carbon black as a stabiliser so that the structural strength of the material is unaffected and a consistent appearance is maintained. The PP is also naturally resistant to de-icing salt. Ken Burgess, Hauraton‘s Project Manager

Jeckells’ keeps pupils in the shade
Jeckells’ the Sailmakers has recently installed three tensioned canopies over outside learning areas at Icknield School in Letchworth. Working closely with architects, Wilby & Burnett, Jeckells fabricated the canopies, sourced the stainless steel posts with red post
bumpers and organised full installation to fit in with the school’s demanding schedule. Ferrari Soltis 86 premium mesh material was used due it its strength and durability. In recent years Jeckells has built up a reputation for the design and manufacture of quality shade sails with an almost unlimited degree of versatility in design and colour.

mark@bituchem.com Firestone provides lining for funky gibbon habitat
The gibbons at Twycross Zoo are enjoying the freedom of a new habitat thanks to a design featuring four islands surrounded by a perimeter moat using an EPDM lining membrane from Firestone Building Products. Firestone supplied its PondGard™ EPDM lining membrane through UK distributor, Gordon Low Products, for the project and the lining was installed by specialist contractor, Turtle Productions Ltd. To ensure that the PondGard EPDM lining matched the exact contours of the moat, Firestone supported Turtle Productions with calculations for cutting and laying the membrane to optimise the use of materials and minimise joins. Turtle Productions laid a geotextile membrane onto the moat surface to create a cushioned surface between the ground and the pond lining. The PondGard EPDM lining was then laid in sections and each section was spliced together using Firestone’s QuickSeam™ Splice Tape with a 150mm overlap at each lap to improve practical installation of the QuickSeam Tape by limiting the risk of contamination in the splice area. The completed lining was allowed to settle during the filling process and the Gibbons have now moved into their new home.
