We also completed a project specific CWCT test at Vinci Technology Centre to provide assurances over the final build up.The bespoke extrusions created under the Sotech Limitless Range reduced the weight of the façade from the original specification. The extrusions also provide greater levels of impact resistance whilst also offering a more cost-effective product.

Energy Efficiency Case Study - Hot Water Generation and Distribution Systems
nVent Thermal Management
There are two options to compensate for the heat loss in hot water distribution pipes: using a temperature maintenance cable or a re-circulation pipe. Which option is more sensible from an energy point of view, when using a condensing boiler for hot water generation? A study by the Technical University in Dresden addresses the question of which option is more energy-efficient.The results
presented show that a single pipe hot water system that compensates for heat losses with a self-regulating temperature maintenance cable is a better solution.
Protan Prefabricated Roof System at Wilmslow Garden Centre, Cheshire
Protan (UK) Ltd
Over 2,300m² of Protan SE 1.2mm PVC single-ply membrane was installed in the Protan Prefabricated roof system at Wilmslow Garden Centre, Cheshire.
The main driver behind the installation of this roof system was the time constraint placed upon the roofing contractor for installation of the roof.
Using Protan's unique ProPlan CAD software, a bespoke solution was created for the project - prefabricated rolls of membrane measuring 3.96x8.00m were manufactured to span the barrels of the roof.
This minimised on-site waste and reduced on-site hot air welding by 1,080 linear metres.

The Dream - Precast Concrete Sculpture
J & P Building Systems
The Dream is a 20m precast concrete sculpture on the site of the old Sutton Manor Colliery near St. Helens in Lancashire. Created by world-renowned Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, it serves as a memorial to the miners who worked at the site.

J&P was approached to deliver because of the company’s expertise in working with precast concrete.
