Proving permeable paving
The trade association Interpave has just launched a new case study showing how concrete block permeable paving provides a comprehensive and cost-effective sustainable drainage system (SuDS) for a new housing development without additional land-take. The case study explores a SuDS scheme at Fleetwood Crescent, the 28-home first phase of a new development in the Eastfield area of Peterborough for award-winning housing association Cross Keys Homes. It makes extensive use of concrete block permeable paving, reflecting Peterborough City Council’s desire to incorporate SuDS in developments. The estate road is a trial site for the adoption of permeable paving by the Local Highway Authority and will be adopted under the ‘Section 38’ process, and its performance monitored. All the concrete block permeable paving has been designed and constructed in accordance with Interpave technical guidance. This scheme demonstrates how concrete block permeable paved drives, parking and adopted roads on a typical new housing development can attenuate, store and treat runoff from all the hard surfaces without additional land-take or other SuDS features. Use of a simple orifice plate flow control protects the local sewer from overloading.

C-TEC’s revolutionary hush buttons are protecting Epic House, a luxurious apartment block in Leicester. Connected to one of C-TEC’s 4-loop ZFP touchscreen addressable fire panels, the hush buttons act as mini fire alarms, providing residents with the means to silence
false alarms themselves, for example, if they set the fire alarm off accidentally by burning a meal say, so preventing false alarms and the full- scale evacuation of other residents in the building. A series of special cause and effects have also been incorporated into the ZFP to further enhance fire protection at the 12-storey building. For example, certain windows and vents are programmed to open automatically in the event of a fire.
www.c-tec.com Cavity Barriers protect against fire spread
According to Document B of the UK Building Regulations fire barriers must be installed in cavity areas that are vulnerable to the spread of fire. Using the correct passive fire cavity protection system within a building is crucial, in the event of a fire, intumescent fire barriers
activate and seal holes, penetrations and cavities, preventing the spread of fire and smoke, thereby fulfilling UK regulations. Standards and Regulations also stipulate that two storey buildings and above require cavity barriers to stop fire from spreading through walls, floors and cavities. The Envirograf® Cavity Barrier range fully satisfies the requirements stated in Document B of the Building Regulations.
