Hi-spec deployment of EJOT Colorfast at new Birmingham logistics park
E
JOT Colorfast fasteners have been used in the construction of eight new high- specifi cation warehousing and logistics buildings at the Urban 8 Logistics Park in King’s Norton, Birmingham.
The £32.9m development by St Francis Group in partnership with Tristan Capital Partners and Canmoor, has transformed a redundant brownfi eld site which was once the Triplex Safety Glass factory. The development’s eight new buildings are designed to be highly environmentally sustainable,
as demonstrated by their
BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings. The units, which provide warehousing space of between 26,000 sq. ft and 70,000 sq. ft., benefi t from roof-mounted solar PV panels, SuDS drainage and air source heat pumps for renewable heating and cooling. With an estimated roofi ng area of 36,000
sq. m, this extensive building envelope project required a system and component specifi cation capable of delivering on the
conjunction with FM Approved EJOT
Colorfast self-drilling fasteners. These over- moulded colour-matched fasteners are approved for use with Tata building systems given their proven ability to provide an effective and secure seal that minimises the potential for water ingress and air leakage, whilst also maximising corrosion-resistance and visual appeal. EJOT’s
client’s demanding aesthetic, performance and longevity
objectives. The envelope
was designed to achieve a high level of air-tightness – just 1.5 cubic metres per hour – and thermal performance beyond compliance levels to make day-to-day operations by future occupiers as energy- effi cient as possible.
Meeting the brief was the Tata Platinum Plus roof and wall system, specifi ed to offer a guaranteed 25-year lifespan,
in
A2 grade stainless steel bi- metallic JT3 Colorfast fasteners were used extensively in the project, with the integral nylon heads coloured in Sirius, Anthracite and Goosewing Grey to colour match the roofi ng and wall panels. Industrial roofi ng and cladding specialist Roofdec was tasked with delivering the building envelopes, supported by EJOT UK throughout, including regular site visits by EJOT sales engineer Michael Swain.
