Metsec underlines commitment to accurate product information
V
oestalpine Metsec has become one of the earliest adopters of the Code for Construction Products Information
(CCPI), introduced by the Construction Products
Association in response to
Dame Judith Hackitt’s review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, set up following the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
CCPI assessments are undertaken by Assessors from Construction Products Information Ltd. and are carried out on a manufacturer’s specific
products and
systems, not the company as a whole. As such, an organisation or brand cannot, in itself, gain assessment or make any claims of conformance beyond a specific product set. To date,
voestalpine Metsec has
successfully achieved assessment for four of its key construction systems; SFS light gauge galvanized steel structural framing systems and Metframe pre-panelised framing system from its Framing Division, dry lining metal framed components for gypsum plasterboard

systems from its Dry Lining Division and roof, side rail and mezzanine floor systems from its Purlins Division. Alan Harris, Quality and BIM Compliance Director at voestalpine Metsec,
“Continuous investment in independent performance testing and quality assurance is what keeps our construction solutions at the forefront of the industry.
“Ensuring that the data and information
derived from these tests is conveyed in a clear, unambiguous fashion is key to providing specifiers, installers and users with more confidence in the systems’ capabilities and suitability for their projects.
Successful
assessment to the CCPI confirms we are doing things right and underlines our commitment to the industry’s needs.”
CCPI aims to address the stipulation from Dame Hackitt’s review that construction product information needs to be communicated in a clear and accurate way. Its aim is to help organisations drive
for higher standards in the presentation of construction product information, with a priority on building safety.
voestalpine Metsec has set up a rigorous information review process to ensure that messaging from all divisions is based on accurate, verifiable data and that this information is presented in a clear and accessible manner, which can be easily found and assimilated by its intended target audience.

The comprehensive product range offered by waterproofi ng and timber treatment specialist Triton Systems, part of the Wykamol Group, has proved to be the perfect fi t for a Kent self-builder undertaking his fi rst self-build project in challenging ground conditions. Internally, the walls are lined with the BBA approved Wykamol-Triton’s CM8 Waterproofi ng Membrane, while a layer of CM20 will be laid across the top of the fl oor slab. Both of these products are made from high density polyethylene and are installed with their 8 mm or 20 mm studs against the face of the concrete. Sureproof Ultra comprises a very stable polyethylene fi lm offering a consistent reaction to longitudinal and transverse forces, having been developed for the waterproofi ng of basements, foundations, walls and fl at or ventilated roof structures. The self-adhesive material is self-sealing and forms an effective barrier against methane and radon while being resistant to chemicals and physical damage. As well as being ideal for protecting concrete and masonry, Sureproof Ultra is also compatible with metal substrates.

Basements_DPR.indd 1 Paddington station improves assisted travel experience
A new lounge, that has been designed for Network Rail passengers using the assistance programme, has opened at Paddington station. TORMAX was contracted to work with Saper Glass to manufacture and install an automatic, single sliding door system, giving clear and easy access into the Assisted Travel Lounge (ATL). Powered by the in-house designed TORMAX iMotion 2202 door drive, smooth and reliable operation is assured thanks to the innovative design of the high torque, synchronous motor that ensures rapid response to approaching foot traffi c. Featuring none of the parts that regularly wear out, such as gears and brushes, the iMotion motor offers a longer lifespan, with lower maintenance demands, than other similar door operators. Ensuring the TORMAX automatic door opens and closes appropriately every time, speed settings and hold- open time can be easily adjusted by station staff via a user-friendly keypad. Maximising system performance, an intelligent microprocessor control system guarantees permanent monitoring of door leaf movement, making automatic adjustments in response to say a build-up of debris on the fl oor.
