comprehensive lock out kits, which have been designed to suit the needs of installers and maintenance teams working in a range of environments. The new kits starting with the LOKKITBASE and extending to the LOKKITPRO, enable circuits to be locked off once de‐energised, ensuring safe maintenance schedule and compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations. The new LOKKITBASE and LOKKIT2PLUS kits both include standard miniature circuit breaker (MCB) locking off devices and the miniature LOK10 and LOK11 for when access is limited and there is not

ureus School is a STEM specialist mixed school that


creates choice for the wider community in southern Oxfordshire. The schools mission is simple: we will strive to educate the whole student so that each individual in our community may ‘Grow, Learn and Flourish’. In 2016, established


services contractor J & B Hopkins, were appointed as the mechanical & electrical contractor for the schools new build works. Domestic hot water requirements were covered by the installation of 2No Mikrofill ‘Extreme’ 500 litre loading cylinders. The Extreme is a hot water generator that combines the advantages of both an instantaneous hot water heater and a storage system, creating perfect harmony between a condensing boiler and a hot water cylinder. Each stainless steel


unvented loading cylinder can produce in excess of 2500 litres per hour and 845 litres in a 10 minute peak period at 60°C. In addition, a Mikrofill 1000/2 pressurisation package was installed to unvent the indirect LPHW circuits.

The SIPslice DALI Converter has been designed for receiving and transmitting data via the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) network to individual or groups of luminaries, enabling them to switch on or off and dim. Notably, this allows for remote switching and dimming of individual luminaires. The product provides ideal support for building control systems and

communications over an RS323 or RS485 connection per 300m of DALI Network. Andy Devine, of Synapsys Solutions said: “There is a high demand for


better energy control within commercial buildings. With lighting use accounting for up to 20% of energy use within a commercial property, we designed the innovative SIPslice DALI Converter to meet those needs and to allow for an effective contribution to a reduction in energy usage.”

new Rockvilla centre in Glasgow, Scotland. Specified by design consultant and engineering company Atelier Ten, the technically advanced system was an ideal solution, allowing the contractor team to quickly, easily and reliably install the thick walled steel tube heating system. The £6.5 million development

of the Rockvilla centre will be the headquarters of the National Theatre Scotland (NTS), allowing the theatre group for the first time to have its rehearsal and production activities under one roof. The Rockvilla centre required


the installation of a new heating system within the 3,700 square metre space. Having seen the Viega Megapress system used on another project, the team from Atelier Ten were impressed by its quality and reliability and as such selected the system for use at the development of the Rockvilla centre. Installed by Moffat Mechanical in just five months, the system


iega has supplied its Megapress press connection system for the


saves up to 60% of assembly time compared to traditional tube connection methods such as welding or threading. The Megapress system also provides a clean connection due to its pressing function, meaning there is no excess cutting oil, metal swarf, hemp residue or jointing compound that would be used with traditional methods. Therefore valuable time was saved as the system did not require flushing to remove any residual installation debris. The installation at the


Rockvilla centre required 500 connections of the thick‐walled steel fittings ranging from 15mm to 54mm, which was easy to achieve from Viega’s comprehensive selection of fittings ranging from ½” to 2”. William Giplin, Mechanical


Project Engineer at Moffat Mechanical commented on the installation: “Having worked with the system before, we knew just how easy the Megapress would be to use. Using a single press gun, the connections can be achieved in the most confined spaces – completing a full seal in

NMC Naturefoam The new reference in climate protection


of synthetic foams has developed a foam based on renewable raw materials. This innovation significantly improved the climate and energy performance of NMC products and helps towards protecting the climate and resources. As a family company, NMC stands for quality and climate protection.

Plant‐based raw materials make the difference The new NMC Naturefoam® is made mainly from polyethylene manufactured from sugarcane. Sugarcane grows back every year absorbing CO2


as it grows and


thereby saving finite resources such as oil. NMC Naturefoam® is available for NMC quality brands CLIMAFLEX® and EXZENTROFLEX®.


Environmental product declaration (EPD) for Climaflex® made of NMC Naturefoam® shows impressive results. The EPD for the Climaflex range made of NMC Naturefoam® certified by the IBU (Institute for Construction & Environment) proves that the CO2

Director at Atelier Ten concluded, “Due to the complexity of the heating system


installed at the Rockvilla centre, and with the inclusion of a biomass boiler, we wanted to use a tubing system that was quick to install and provided no additional hazards. Thanks to its cold press application the Megapress achieved just this.” For further information on

the entire production process from cradle to the factory gate could be reduced to zero which is clearly better than initially estimated. In the production of the previous Climaflex formulation these emissions amounted to 62.8kg CO2


per m3


of foam whereas in common rubber insulation they can come between 200‐220kg per m3 of foam.
