Hauraton surface drainage and service channel systems installed at Central Park
strategically located between the M49 motorway on its Eastern boundary and the A403 to the West. A 40 acre site has been built by Berberry, a privately owned property development and investment company. They demanded the contractors achieve the highest environmental standards for the surface water drainage systems installed. With areas designated for HGV access
A
and hard standing, car parks and areas accessed by smaller commercial vehicles, the road and yard surfaces employed included concrete, asphalt and block paving. This meant various types of surface channelling were required by the contractor, Churngold Construction, to ensure the drainage needs of the site as a whole. Hauraton systems; RECYFIX® RECYFIX®
HICAP® , FASERFIX®

requirements. FASERFIX® SERVICE channel
was also specified to house cables and coolant pipe-work. Three sizes of RECYFIX®
HICAP®
F–1000, 2000 and 3000, were selected, all with a loading category of Class F900 (900kN). This system was used to drain the HGV access and hard standing concreted areas. All the channels supplied are made of RECYCLED polypropylene (PP)
with fixed
ductile iron, 14mm open slot inlets finished with KTL, a rust resistant coating. The asphalted areas accessed by HGVs and
smaller commercial vehicles were drained by 22 metres of FASERFIX®
SUPER 100 Fibre SUPER, MONOTEC and ENVIROKERB were chosen to meet the drainage
Reinforced Concrete (FRC) channels fitted with Class F900 ductile iron gratings. These channels feature metal protection along their top edges, not only does this detail provide exceptional wear resistance and increased load bearing capability, the components are so strong, even prior to installation they are able to endure the rigours of building sites.
Hauraton FASERFIX® SUPER channels with E600 ductile iron gratings In total 82 metres of RECYFIX®
MONOTEC 100x230mm (Loading category Class D400) were used to drain the car park block/asphalt surfaces. As well as the surface drainage products supplied, 13 metres of FASERFIX®
SERVICE 300 channels with
Class E600 ductile iron covers were installed providing protection for cables and coolant pipe-work to two condenser units.

TROX laboratory air management system installed for Quadram Institute
environmental performance in a major new clinical and research facility. The TROX EASYLAB system, incorporating TROX VAV controllers, specialist filters, grilles and diffusers, will assist Norfolk-based Quadram Institute to meet the stringent requirements for its world-class research. To meet the complex and critical
A
air management demands of the project, BuroHappold Engineering and SES Engineering Services worked in close co-operation with TROX UK to design and install the air management systems for the new site. During the design phase, wind tunnel
testing was carried out to determine safe fume efflux parameters for the scheme. TROX also analysed the air terminal device requirements of different zones in the building during the design phase, to determine the best possible
dedicated laboratory air management system, supplied by TROX, has been installed to optimise safety and
designs of grilles and diffusers to maintain the optimum safe and comfortable working environment for researchers, staff and patients. To account for the specific research operations carried out in separate departments across the site, TROX worked with the design team and other experts to determine the most appropriate HEPA filter cells and diffusers, and installed specific room pressure control capabilities for the Containment Level 3 labs, and volume offset tracking controls for the Containment Level 2 spaces. The resulting TROX EASYLAB room air management system installed in the new
facility ensures that supply and extraction of air is optimised automatically in each laboratory to maintain safe working environments. In addition, TROX Variable Air Volume (VAV) controllers ensure that the energy efficiency of the building’s central air conditioning and cooling system is also optimized for best-in-class environmental performance across the site as a whole. Ian Thomas, Product Technical Manager –
Air Products at TROX UK, commented: “The Quadram Institute will be carrying out essential research and it was important that the building itself could operate safely at all times, with advanced control of air supply and extraction to meet the stringent requirements. The TROX EASYLAB system will enable the Institute to continue its vital work, confident in the knowledge that the best possible systems are in place to ensure best-in-class performance.”
