RECYFIX®
GREEN grass reinforcement
modules installed at Banovallum School T
he Hauraton RECYFIX® GREEN
STANDARD surface reinforcement grid system was used extensively in
the grassed pathways, where a high footfall was expected, and the grassed areas surrounding Banovallum School, Horncastle .The system helped to prevent erosion and improve surface drainage. Once installed,
the RECYFIX® GREEN modules were
discreet, yet provided a permanent surface reinforcement to the grassed areas with a loading capacity of 200 tonne/m². Manufactured from 100 per cent recycled
polypropylene (PP), two sizes of module were installed; size 1 – 387 x 344 x 38mm at 0.7kg and size 2 – 387 x 555 x 38mm at 1.2kg. The modules were simply held in position with 250mm ABS pegs. The pathways and area to be grassed were excavated, covered with a granular sub-base, a layer of sharp sand applied and then rolled. The RECYFIX®
GREEN modules were then
secured on top of the rolled surface and their apertures filled with top soil which was compacted then grass seeded. The grass was left to grow over several weeks before access was allowed. Colin Taff, Hauraton‘s Project Engineer comments “The RECYFIX®
GREEN modules
can also be specified for grassed areas with occasional vehicular usage such as car
parking spaces also bridleways, roof terraces, urban green spaces, around trees and lawns. They can also be used in sports grounds, golf course pathways, camping places, holiday parks and reinforcements for rail and road embankments and river banks.”

The Wraptite external air barrier system from A. Proctor Group have been highlighted in a brand new flagship project to deliver student accommodation in the centre of Portsmouth. The Wraptite System was installed as an external air
barrier and alternative to a traditional standard breather membrane. Wraptite is the only self adhering vapour permeable air barrier certified by the BBA. Stephen Hull, Director of InOpera Facades, commented: “The Wraptite self-adhesive membrane was applied externally, quickly and easily ensuring a higher quality installation, and a more robust through wall rainscreen cladding system.”

www.proctorgroup.com Door closer assures safer schools
UK designed and manufactured, Powermatic controlled, concealed door closers, by Samuel Heath, deliver a host of benefits for educational learning and accommodation buildings.
Meeting all relevant fire performance and accessibility requirements, Powermatic door closers also help to create safer buildings and reduce maintenance costs.
Being totally invisible when the door is closed and having few parts on show when the door is open, Powermatic is less likely to be vandalised than surface-mounted devices. This reduces the risk of a fire door being rendered inactive by a damaged door closer and means that maintenance or repair costs are minimised.
