Hauraton channels used as perimeter drainage at Brooke Church of England School
a brick building surrounded by an asphalted playground which tended to flood when there was heavy rain. As part of a number of measures designed to reduce future flood risk it was decided that the existing drainage needed to be upgraded.

The Hauraton RECYFIX®
PRO 100
channel system, fitted with FIBRETEC® C250, HEELSAFE 9mm slot gratings was specified by NPS Group of Norwich, and used to provide perimeter drainage right around the school building. This continues 104 metre channel run not only drained the asphalt playground it prevented standing water reaching the walls and acted as a drain for roof downpipes. The FIBRETEC®

Gilberts’ bespoke capability helps minimise impact of green belt development The environmental impact of a £15m, 4000m2
, three-storey Centre in the heart of the Surrey green belt, within
a Grade II listed park, is being controlled by optimisation of natural resources. Working on the design & build project for contractor Blenheim House Construction (BHC), Gilberts Blackpool has produced a natural ventilation strategy to a bespoke design, to ensure the architecturally-dramatic new Activity Centre at St George’s School Weybridge will be appropriately aired, irrespective of occupancy and activity levels within, and with minimal impact on its external surroundings. “The project was a challenge that we were confident Gilberts could meet,” explained BHC project surveyor Joe Anderson. “The site geography provided challenges: the building has been sunk into the surrounding landscape to give level approaches at ground and second floor- there’s a height difference of at least 8m, which impacts on airflow around the building.” Gilberts was able to engineer a tailor-made rooftop ventilation terminal (penthouse) design to deliver the required air flow and a weathertight fit onto and through the omni-directional curves of the roof.
