Kingspan helps with ambitious expansion at Tate Modern
has been installed as part of the iconic new extension to Tate Modern in London. Switch House adjoins Tate
O
Modern’s existing home within the former Bankside Power Station to provide over 5,000sq m of new exhibition space on 10 levels. The new extension opened to the public last June. In addition to the top‐class film, video, photography and performance areas it also provides learning facilities for all ages. Kingspan Kooltherm FM Duct Insulation was installed in a 40mm thickness. The insulation provides premium performance and comprises a fibre‐free rigid thermoset phenolic insulation core, which is Class 0 as defined by Building Regulations. It is externally faced with an aluminium vapour barrier foil and internally faced with glass tissue. Its rigid nature ensures the specified thickness is maintained at the
corners, and can help to create a continuous and fully sealed vapour barrier for an aesthetically pleasing finish. Kingspan Kooltherm FM Duct Insulation has a thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/m.K or better, has a BRE Green Guide A+ rating, is manufactured under a BS EN ISO 14001: 2004 scheme, and is produced at Kingspan Insulation’s Pembridge and Selby manufacturing facilities which are certified to BES 6001 ‘Excellent’.

Luceco supplies retail lighting solutions for Maplin
to realise its lighting refurbishment project, playing a key role with the design and supply of LED energy saving luminaires to the group. Converting much of its
T
store estate, the project included the need for better lighting within its stores and lower energy costs. With the roll‐out now
complete, the finance team at Maplin reported an increase in the original energy consumption savings above predicted levels. Luceco is now proud to have
recently supplied luminaries for another significant project – Store of the Future. The Luceco lighting design team was tasked with designing an LED lighting solution using the proven recessed and highly efficient Luceco LED Panels. The design also called for
lighting solutions to suit various areas in the store including

Castle area and it will deliver 450 private rental, shared ownership and interim rent homes. Supporting this development and ensuring that water will be
delivered where and when it is needed, is a range of Grundfos Hydro MPC‐E energy efficient booster pump sets. These solutions were delivered to site on skids that were ready for
installation. Built at the 10,000sq m Grundfos manufacturing plant in Sunderland, this level of offsite engineering adds value and offers customers design, build, assemble, test and distribution from under one roof, as well as many H&S and economies of scale benefits. Delivering the amount of housing that the market now requires, especially in the South East, is going to be an on‐going challenge. However, projects like this one are enjoying the benefits of off‐site build supported by companies like Grundfos. With some innovative thinking, it is possible to improve on the
delivery of housing solutions.

Güntner Coil Defender addition to corrosion protection portfolio
foodstuffs are processed and stored, require corrosion‐ resistant units. It is precisely these
C
applications for which Güntner introduces the Coil Defender, a high‐quality yet affordable addition to our corrosion protection portfolio in the Compact product line. Particularly in the sensitive
food sector, e.g. for the storage of citrus fruits, in fermentation interrupters and in processing rooms, the Güntner Coil Defender is a high quality solution for all cases that require a unit with increased corrosion protection and where stainless steel would be over the top. The powder coating, evenly applied to the entire coil, reliably protects the conventional material combination of copper/aluminium from corrosion. The powder coating is also food‐safe, thus
old rooms with an aggressive atmosphere where, for example,
perfectly adds to the HACCP‐ certified Güntner air coolers. The Coil Defender is a standard
option for all air coolers of the Compact product line. Those air coolers equipped with Coil Defender are designed in a way that facilitates easy cleaning. In addition, the Coil Defender powder coating is resistant to conventional cleaning agents. For more information on the
innovative Coil Defender, please visit our Güntner website:

Big Foot Systems shortlisted in 2017 H&V News Awards
B
ig Foot Systems, which supplies non‐penetrative rooftop support solutions for
safe access equipment and building services, has been shortlisted in the H&V News Awards Retrofit Project of the Year category for its project with Coca‐Cola European Partners Great Britain (CCEP GB). Big Foot supplied a custom Safe Access solution and HD Beams rooftop plant support for CCEP GB’s Wakefield factory. CCEP GB wanted to increase
production hall cooling ventilation, adding two air handling units to the existing lightweight standing seam roof. The project needed to ensure minimal disruption during the installation and reduce the risk of a leaking roof above a facility capable of producing 6,000 cans of soft drink and up to 2,200 bottles every minute. Having previously worked with Big Foot Systems, the CCEP GB
consultant on the project suggested using Big Foot for a plant and service support strategy, eliminating the need to penetrate the roof. The lightweight roof
construction was a challenge but Big Foot’s technical team proposed several options, leading to a fully‐ developed solution using their HD Beam product to span the main rafters and the purlins, while taking the load back to the main rafters. The solution also provided safe
access for maintenance of the newly installed AHUs.
