RECYFIX®


for the surface drainage of pavements, bicycle routes, car/van parks and roadways in and around residential, commercial and light industrial areas where the channels need to have high lateral strength, are capable of withstanding continuous compressive loads and where ease of installation is a major consideration. The RECYFIX®


H


MONOTEC: A monolithic drainage system with a high attenuation volume


auraton Limited has introduced into the UK, RECYFIX®


MONOTEC, its new high capacity channel system MONOTEC one metre


long channel component is of a sturdy monolithic design where the grating and the tongue and groove linking system are integral to the channel moulding. The whole unit is made of tough, virtually unbreakable polypropylene (PP) formulated to be very resistant to daily temperature fluctuations from frost conditions to strong sunlight, including the Ultra Violet (UV) spectrum. PP is naturally resistant to de-icing salt. 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. MONOTEC channels are offered in two nominal grating widths of 100 and 200mm, both suitable for a loading category of up o Class D400. The 100mm channels are available in three overall heights; 230, 280 and 380mm and provide channel cross-sections of 190.5cm2 and 355.5cm2


, 245.5cm2 ,


200mm channel, which only weighs 16.2kg, has a cross-section of 746.1cm2


respectively. The largest and so


has an attenuation volume in excess of 74 litres per meter. The three sizes of 100mm channels can


be arranged in a step-fall arrangement with different channel heights connected by special transition adaptors that ensure the water drains away smoothly and quietly with the increased flow velocity playing a


considerable role in cleaning the channel run. The step-fall arrangement may be desirable where there is a high risk of silting as the increased flow will help wash debris towards the system’s Inspection/Trash Box. RECYFIX®


MONOTEC channels are


certified in accordance with EN 1433. The CE symbol, external monitoring and the conformity declaration are the guarantee of a maximum technical and qualitative standard.

Levolux gives a lift to Lee High Road


The recently completed Goldcrest House residential development in Lee High Road, Lewisham, incorporates a number of eye-catching features, including an external solar shading and screening solution, courtesy of Levolux. The substantial four and part five-storey building is located within a confined site, sandwiched between Lee High Road to the north-east and the River Quaggy to the south-west. The ‘L’ shaped building is considerably larger than the original single-storey terrace it replaces, with a frontage that extends 53 metres in length, following the gentle curve of Lee High Road. To soften the visual impact of the building from the street, Levolux was invited to develop an external solar shading and screening solution, comprising vertical Aerofoil Fins and horizontal and vertical glazed panels. The solution applies across the length of the building and extends vertically, from first floor to roof level. External walkways, with mesh balustrading, are concealed behind a series of multi-coloured, extruded aluminium Aerofoil Fins. Each Fin, which is fixed vertically at 90 degrees, measures 200mm wide by 45mm thick, with lengths of up to 2.7 metres.

Kalwall®


sheds light on education Kalwall®


translucent cladding has been extensively used for the impressive refurbishment of the main teaching


block at Featherstone High School in Southall. The original concrete framed building was failing due to ingress of water and needed structural stabilisation. DSP Architecture were appointed to repair and encapsulate the frame, resulting in a stunning transformation into a very modern teaching block. The renovation required removal of the old concrete spandrel panels, repairs to the concrete structure and then over-cladding with Kalwall panels supported on a new steel frame which was added to extend the floor space. The two fully replaced elevations are a perfect example of how Kalwall can be used for the refurbishment of old and failing cladding and for aged buildings. The new facades allow floor to ceiling diffused and healthy daylight to flood the interior while providing privacy for students and removing any distractions. An integrated row of clerestory windows provides ventilation and limited views to the outside. Kalwall eliminates all shadows and glare and the stark contrasts of light and shade which not only reduces eye fatigue but also enhances concentration.
