Siderise passive fi re protection installed on historic Manchester redevelopment
Siderise has provided a suite of masonry passive fi re protection products for Waterhouse Gardens – an exciting fi ve-tower development built on the historic former Boddington Brewery site in the heart of Manchester’s city centre. Named after architect Alfred Waterhouse, designer of the Manchester Town Hall, the vibrant new neighbourhood by developer Salboy will provide 556 high quality homes, luxury amenities, and 31,000 ft2 of commercial and retail opportunities, set across fi ve towers ranging from 10 to 26 storeys. With a fi re performance requirement for two-hour fi re resistance on all towers, Siderise EWFS 120 Firestop, EWCB 30 Cavity Barrier and CT Cavity Tray were specifi ed for the masonry elevations, and Siderise RH25 120 Cavity Barrier for horizontal protection of the rainscreen elements. This systemised approach helps to ensure continuous fi re stopping and effective moisture management, all sourced from a single supplier to ensure complete compatibility. Additionally, the Lamella insulation core of the EW Cavity Barriers enables them to be friction-fi t within the cavity with no concerns of it pushing out of place by compression or building movement.

www.siderise.com/project/waterhouse-gardens-manchester-uk Taking care of wastewater and sewage: DAB launches new FXS submersible pump
DAB Pumps has launched the latest addition to its trusted FX range of wastewater pumps: the FXS, a robust, compact submersible pump designed for residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural applications. Built for lifting and transferring wastewater and sewage, the FXS combines the reliability contractors expect from the FX range with a more compact design that makes positioning and servicing straightforward. It features a non-clog screw impeller that delivers excellent hydraulic effi ciency, performing reliably even in narrow pipework or systems prone to blockages. The FXS effi ciently transfers wastewater containing solids thanks to its 50 mm free passage and meets EN 12050-1 standards for wastewater handling. Durable construction comes as standard, including a double silicon carbide mechanical seal fully enclosed in an oil chamber, an anti-corrosion stainless steel motor shaft and a hard-wearing two-component coating for great protection even in aggressive environments. The FXS uses a three-level structure that allows quick access to all key components. Spare parts are also universal across the FX range, simplifying service and reducing downtime.
