noise from above or below a guest’s accommodation would almost certainly undermine those efforts. Plus, with this being a flagship project for the Shangri-La – their first hotel in Europe – ‘fit for purpose’ simply wasn’t an option.

As a Robust Detail underscreed, E48 has already been rigorously pre-tested to ensure it achieves a minimum performance of 5dB over and above Part E, thus eliminating the need for Pre-Completion Testing.

on planning and testing, giving absolute certainty to all parties and making full use of all the skills, expertise and experience at their disposal. To this end, Paul Absolon, CMS Danskin’s Technical Director, worked closely with Progressive group’s technicians, carrying out off- site simulations and fitting trials with varying screed thicknesses. Only once both parties were satisfied with every aspect of E48’s acoustic
performance in a ‘real world’ situation did the installation proceed.
More than 16,000m² of E48 were installed over approximately three months, with Progressive group and CMS Danskin maintaining
their close working relationship throughout.
Paul commented, “It was a privilege working on a project as ground-breaking and culturally significant as the Shard, and it was a pleasure working with the professionals at Progressive Group again. At CMS Danskin, we like to be put to the test. The Shard certainly was a challenge and we’re proud to have met that challenge and delivered.”
Tony Cooney, Estimating Manager at Progressive Group, said: “The technical assistance provided by CMS Danskin on this project and other prestigious contracts in the London region in recent years has been exceptional and we look forward to continuing our excellent relationship.”
