Product News Fully funded flat roof solutions for Airedale Academy Airedale Academy in Castleford recently underwent significant refurbishment to repair its failing flat roofs, which had surpassed their natural life expectancy and were experiencing water ingress. Prior to the work commencing on site, flat roof manufacturer Bauder helped the academy successfully secure £1.5 million of funding for the required works by assisting them with all stages of the application process. All of the original waterproofing on the school’s campus was then removed before being replaced with over 7,200m 2 of Bauder’s premium reinforced bitumen system, Bauder Total Roof System, by approved contractor FRS Roofing Services. The system build-up included Bauder’s PIR Insulation for superior thermal performance and tapered insulation to effectively create drainage falls without having to incorporate them into the structure. As part of the necessary works, 20 new Bauder rooflights were also expertly fitted to give essential daylight to the building’s interior. A challenging element of this installation was the number of intricate detailing requirements, with the roof possessing over 20 separate roof areas, calling for exceptional levels of workmanship from FRS. There were also some health and safety implications, with asbestos having been found within the building structure. Consequently, specialists were called in to ensure safe removal and some roof areas were overlaid to minimise the possibility of any asbestos debris being dislodged and therefore contaminating the rooms and corridors below. The academy remained open and fully operational throughout the works, which caused logistical challenges, however all deliveries were timed as not to conflict with vehicles moving in and out of the facility and the team worked closely with the client to agree working hours to reduce disruption to the students and staff. Mike Leake, Vice Principal at Airedale Academy: “The expert support we received from Bauder was crucial in helping us secure the necessary funding and the final outcome of the roof refurbishment is outstanding. We are already starting to notice the benefits, including cost savings as a result of the insulation upgrades, and our long guarantee gives us total confidence about the future performance of our roofs.” www.bauder.co.uk Back to school for Scolmore The doors to The Highfield School in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, are once more open following a £15 million rebuild, and 1,000’s of products from Scolmore’s wiring accessories ranges have been installed as part of the development programme. Mode and Mode Part M sockets, as well as MiniGrid switch modules have been fitted throughout the entire school building, including all teaching areas and classrooms (around 60 in total), as well as corridors, foyers and staffrooms. Mode Part M sockets, fitted onto Dado trunking around the walls of the classrooms, allow for regulatory requirements to be met, while at the same time offering a high standard of design and flexibility. With dimmable lights a requirement for all classrooms, Scolmore’s MiniGrid plates featuring retractive switch modules have been installed. Mark Storey from electrical contractors, Integral UK Ltd in Newmarket, was responsible for installing the products and commented: “On a project like this, cost is always an important consideration, so we needed to specify a range of products that met all the regulatory requirements and also represented excellent value for money. With Scolmore’s products we were also able to provide a quick and simple to install solution and the contemporary, smooth profile of Scolmore’s Mode and Mode Part M products enabled us to achieve a more stylish finish.” With the new building now open, work is due to commence to demolish the original school buildings, which have stood since the1960’s. The original school site will be turned into communal areas such as gardens, fields and a sports facility.
