Pump House supports on school slopes


S


wansea Council, working together with the Welsh Government, approved major refurbishment works to the Pentrehafod


School Estate.


JW Morris, the Bridgend-based building services contractor, was appointed to carry out the mechanical works on the project. They chose Pump House on the day to supply all the rooftop building services support frameworks, in turn picking up several Nuaire air handling units, and a series of condensers. The frameworks are hot dip galvanised, and supplied in lengths and widths to suit each

unit being supported. With all products being available from stock, the contractor could order frameworks last minute.


Pump House included meeting the goods on site to provide the contractor with assistance in building up our solutions.


The main challenge of this case was to support the services on a level framework, while contending with two significant roof falls – one roof with a 2° fall, and the other roof with a 3° fall. To overcome this problem, Pump House supplied an alternative foot to its standard


product. The alternative dense crumb rubber moulded feet are available with either a 2.5°, or 5° slope cut to the underside. At Pentrehafod School 2.5°, 350mm square feet were supplied to enabled the frameworks to work with both roof falls that were present.


All support frames come complete with adjustable legs incorporating M24 height adjusters, enabling the installer to level the frameworks.


With a fast installation time, all frameworks can be assembled very quickly as fixings are also supplied.
