This simple statement does not express the time devoted by industry stakeholders to getting the contents of this standard finalised. The previous standard, which

now has been replaced, was SABS 0400 Part N 1990. So finally, after twenty years, we have a standard reflecting the latest developments in the glazing (fenestration) industry.

The Minister of the Department of Trade and Industry put it very simply in the Regulation that glazing shall withstand wind load, not allow water penetration to the interior of the building and safety glazing materials are to be applied in areas where human impact can be expected. Should the provisions

From the Deskstated in SANS 10400 Part N 2010 Edition 3 be complied with fully, it will be deemed that the Glazing complies with the Building Regulations.

First availableAll other exist-ing Parts of SABS 0400 are currently under review but it is not possible to predict when they will be published, making Part N the first of the SANS 10400 suite to be available.

The fact that Part N was published independently from the other sections of the suite will make it possible for other parts to be published as and when they have been finalised.

This is of particular importance for the speedy publication of SANS 10400 Part XA 2010 Edition 1 “Energy Usage in Buildings”.

Eight years of workThis new section will be introduced to the Building Regulation and SANS 10400 Part XA will guide industry to comply with the legal provisions. SANS 10400 Part XA which contains the “deemed-to-satisfy” rules refers to the provisions of SANS 204 vindicating some eight years of work by the relevant SABS Technical Committees.

Ironically SANS 204 – Energy efficiency in build-ings was published in October 2008 as a voluntary standard but has been ignored by the mainstream of developers, building professionals and industry alike as the question “Is it law?” was used to motivate non-compliance with the provisions of SANS 204.

This will change shortly!

A word of caution! As the use of combustible thermal insulation materials will increase con-siderably through the introduction of SANS 10400 Part XA 2010, specifiers are urged to ensure that the insulation materials are duly classified in terms of SANS 428 before they are considered for an application in a particular building occupancy!

Failure to comply with the provisions of SANS 428 has allegedly caused loss of life during fires in buildings. Please be aware!

The South African Bureau of Standards has published SANS 10400: Part N 2010

Edition 3 “Glazing” in February 2010.

COVER STORY

Steven Dike, managing director Famous Brands Development.

Vaughn Dyssel, national corporate key accounts consultant for Tile Africa Contracts says, “We enjoy a professional relationship with Famous Brands. They work according to rollouts and are always on schedule. We can therefore make ac-curate forecasts and maintain the required stock availability.”

As part of their dedication to their corporate clients, Tile Africa Contracts recently donated tiles for two boardrooms at Famous Brands Development to transform the rooms into stylish meeting areas. “For the development boardroom we supplied Nano black polished porcelain tiles and for the Wimpy boardroom, Oasis full body porcelain tiles that are also used for the floor areas in the restaurants,” says Dyssel.

National supportWith a national network of representation through the 40 Tile Africa retail branches and the backing of sister companies Johnson Tiles and TAL Adhesives, the division is able to supply specialist products for commercial/industrial applications. In addition, Tile Africa Contracts provides on-site technical advice as well as an aftercare service and its methods of installation and the materials supplied are in line with local and international standards

“We at Tile Africa Contracts are committed to our customers and through our skilled staff, national distribution, stockholding, consistency and flex-ibility we are equipped to handle any project no matter the size,” says Vaughn.

Commenting on the latest design trends, he remarks that the corporate industry is definitely leaning to-wards larger format tiles in monochromatic colour schemes as the foundation. “The corporate colours are used as accents and design styles range from minimalist contemporary to a fresh seventies retro look in some cases,” he concludes.

Tile Africa Contracts is the exclusive supplier of tiles to the Famous Brands

stable. The division kicked off the relationship with the Wimpy and

Debonairs Pizza restaurants towards the final quarter of

2007 and continues specifying and supplying new and refurbished outlets.


Sensitive to surroundingsAlthough some icons are recognised due to their intrusive nature, the team at Impendulo were sensitive to the surrounding suburb. “We didn’t want to create a sore thumb,” continues Archie. “It had to fit in. To this end, the new KPMG Head Office, which forms Phase 1 of what will be a three-phase project, aligns itself with other build-ings in the area.”

On completion, the office park will incorporate 24 000m² of office space and 36 000m² of park-ing area. Phase 1 comprises 7 000m², Phase 2, which is currently on the board, 10 000m², with a final 7 000m² to come in Phase 3.

While acknowledging a corporate culture that fa-voured brass and facebrick, Impendulo undertook to introduce a new aesthetic sense to the company’s offices. “As an accounting firm, it could be easy for KPMG to be seen as staid and conservative,” says John. “However, it’s a vibrant, forward-thinking company and we wanted to reflect this. We were determined to break away from the stereotype of the boring accountant.”

Untraditional designTo develop a better understanding of modern office

Architects had their way, the skylines of South

African cities would rival those of any

other world-class destination city.

They approach each project from

a perspective of creating a landmark rather than simply constructing a building.

We put a lot of thought into building an icon within an area,” ex-plains John Langen-

hoven, when “Architect & Specifi-cator” visits the firm to chat to him and colleague, Archie Norval about Impendulo’s work. This approach was applied to the recent KPMG project under-taken by the practice, which required some flexible think-ing in terms of blending historic buildings with modern ones.

In the KPMG office park, old and new buildings

work together, with separate phases being joined by a bridge across the highway. “Every major city has a gateway; a triumphal arch, of sorts,” adds Archie. “This structure gives KPMG its own gateway to the city.”

ergonomics, the Impendulo team visited KPMG’s new Canary Wharf offices in the UK.

“We’ve brought in a sense of space and airiness using double volumes and natural light from sky-lights,” Archie explains. “In the past, offices forced people to lose touch with nature, which is soul destroying. People would go to work and not see the sun for eight hours. We wanted to put them back in touch, to see the sun and the rain and the sky.” John continues, saying, “Ultimately all phases of the project will be connected by boulevards. In this way, people will be able to get out into the fresh air and socialise.”

Both men emphasise the importance of a return to the café society South Africa has lost due to its preoccupation with security. “We live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world and we seldom see it,” says Archie. “We’ve also lost touch with each other.”

Sensible substitutesIn deference to the surrounding environment, the design also incorporates numerous green elements, such as the use of ecologically sen-sible substitutes to previously used materials. “Sandstone is used in many Parktown buildings and we wanted to stay true to this preference. However in the past it has been imported from India. We sourced a local alternative that was much greener,” says John.

Additionally, the structure includes a low-e coating on the glass for a higher thermal co-efficient to

reduce energy consumption. “We used the west wall as a sun screen against the west light, layer-ing the building effectively for enhanced energy efficiency,” explains Archie.

Conquering challengesThe pair describes the project in terms coloured with high ideals and philosophies, but the pro-cess was not without its challenges. “We were working with existing structures that had to be incorporated into the design,” John tells us.

One of these was the historically-sensitive Wanooka House, built in 1904. The other was the original KPMG building, which was one of the first examples of clinical modernism con-structed in South Africa. “Both structures had either historical or architectural significance,” he explains.

“We were not permitted to change the Wanooka House at all, while the glass façade of the other structure needed to be incorporated into the new building. People coming to visit the site during construction thought we were crazy to be working with such diverse styles, but there was tremendous social significance motivating us.”

Pleasing synergyThe outcome is a peculiarly pleasing synergy between old and new, with the heritage house being reflected in the glass façade of the office block. “At first nobody wanted to handle the Wanooka House,” admits Archie. “I reluctantly took it on and it ended up being my baby.”

His pride is unmistakable as he describes the process of the restoration. In its new guise as corporate conference rooms and VIP dining area, the old building truly sparkles. “We like to think we returned her to her former glory,” he smiles. “She’s gone from an ugly duckling to a swan.”

Painstaking hours of work revealed the building’s original brickwork and graceful arches, with Archie supervising the replica work where damage was too extreme for restoration. “The painters hated me,” he laughs. “I had them applying miles of paint techniques to mimic the original exterior.”

While the outside would earn the approval of any historian, the interior is proudly modern. “This was not meant to be a museum,” Archie explains. “It had to be a functional part of the building project.” This philosophy is reflected in the clever choice of colours and accessories. “I absolutely loved working on this house, and I’m sure the ghost on the landing is pleased with the outcome too,” he laughs.

Architectural backboneBoth men stress that the soft design was not permitted to take precedence, however. “We were aware of the importance of timeless architectural design,” says John. “The interior may change, but the architecture backbone remains.”

This approach is used throughout the company’s design process, as indicated by a number of projects

the team shows us in addition to the KPMG site. “We designed a building to fit into the Sandton landscape, based on a baobab tree,” he continues. “The ‘roots’ of the tree shelter a piazza beneath and echo the role of baobabs as meeting places in parts of Africa.”

In a similarly organic design, the team conceptu-alised a strelitzia building to reflect the textures of South African culture. “We’re a colourful, dynamic nation,” John says with enthusiasm. “Yet much of our architecture consists of grey concrete boxes. We think it’s time to let our true colours shine through.”

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

These Boots Were Made for Walking

In the race to find a

viable green energy source,

the latest contender

comes in the unexpected form of good old-fashioned legwork. Sci-entists abroad are using piezo

strips implanted in sidewalks to

collect the en-ergy generated by thousands of pedestrians passing over them daily.

P iezoelectrictric potential is the ability that some materials, generally crystals and some ceramics, have to generate electricity in response to applied mechanical stress. It is

useful in applications such as the production and detection of sound, generation of high voltages, electronic frequency generation, microbalances, and ultra fine focusing of optical assemblies. It’s gained ground in a range of scientific processes as well as everyday tasks such as providing ignition for cigarette lighters and push-start braais.

Power stridingWhen it comes to sidewalk energy, the technology works using underfloor generators powered by the footsteps of pedestrians on compression pads. The pressure on the pads drives fluid through mini-turbines to generate electricity, which can then be stored in a battery. Generally this kinetic energy goes to waste, but the use of heel-strike generators and piezoelectric materials allows it to be harnessed and used to power lights and other electronic devices nearby.

Traffic generates vast amounts of kinetic energy

At present the energy generated is not mind-blow-ing, with some believing it’s hardly worth the effort. However, the concept has been implemented in a number of trials worldwide, with increasing levels of success. Any area in which large numbers of people congretate or move has the potential to be a source of electricity, from sidewalks to shopping centres and sporting facilities. Estimates show that the 34 000 travelers passing hourly through London’s Victoria Underground station could gener-ate enough energy to power 6 500 light bulbs.

Streets aheadNot to be outdone, the Israelis have also climbed on the bandwagon with a system designed to harvest energy from roads, airport runways and rail systems. Initial tests have focused on a 100 metre stretch of roadway embedded with a network of piezoelectric generators. It is anticipated that a stretch of road less than a mile long, four lanes wide carrying about 1 000 vehicles an hour can create enough power for 600 homes.

The system will have the additional advantage of delivering real-time data on weight, frequency and spacing between vehicles, making it more than just a ‘green’ energy device. The stage looks set

Using underfloor generators powered by the footsteps of pedestrians on compression pads

to create ‘smart roads’ that could eventually assist in traffic management.

Small footprintOne of the greatest advantages of this form of energy generation is that it requires no additional space. Alternative energy sources such as wind farms, for example, require vast tracts of land to be set aside for installation. Piezoelectricity can be generated where it is required and the material can be built into new roads or sidewalks, or retrofitted into existing facilities if necessary.

While some believe that these systems will merely result in increased energy being required by vehicles, thereby increasing fuel consumption, supporters point out that most roads have a certain amount of ‘give’ already and the smart systems will simply put this energy to good use. A good example of harnessing of kinetic energy is the perpetual mo-tion wristwatch, thousands of which have kept ticking for years without causing undue exhaustion to their wearers.

Shank’s ponyResearchers are now looking into incorporating mini-generators into shoes to power up personal electronic devices while you’re on the move. Although US attempts to use piezo devices in combat boots to power battlefield equipment proved impractical due to discomfort, advancing technology could make the possibility more viable in future.

Some savvy marketers have plans afoot to install piezoelectrics in the queuing areas of fast food joints, giving burger junkies a reason to exercise while they wait for their daily dose of carbs. Trendsetting party-animals have already stepped

up to the plate – the world’s first sustainable night club has opened its doors with an illuminated floor that’s driven by dancing.

With sustainable energy solutions literally beneath our feet, perhaps it’s time we spent a little more time investigating the potential of other everyday objects. If a pair of shoes could light up neighbour-hood streetlights, imagine what could be achieved with the average woman’s handbag!

ENERGY EFFICIENCY


Fact or Fiction?

No-one gives a damn about a temperature-controlled building

TRENDS IN INDUSTRIAL PREMISES

The minute we start talking about green buildings, we envision buildings that are energy efficient in cooling and heating and natural light. Again a myth. In South Africa,

other than for temperature-controlled facilities for perishables, no-one gives a damn about a tem-perature-controlled industrial building.

Regardless of whether you blame Eskom, the Gov-ernment or anybody else, it is clear that in order to survive in South Africa, we all urgently need to save substantial amounts of power.

We’ve put together some guidelines are aimed at warehousing and distribution operations, but many are also applicable to factory environments.

Design of facilitiesIndustrial buildings in South Africa are generally steel sheds with light sheeting and minimal tem-perature control or insulation (other than buildings for perishable products). You certainly won’t find the kind of airconditioning for summer or heating for winter that you would in Europe or America.

We tend to feel this is not necessary with our temperate climate and let’s be honest, how many companies care about the DC or warehouse personnel being comfortable as long as the lofty offices are great?

EnvironmentOccupational legislation in first-world countries doesn’t allow staff to work in unsatisfactory condi-tions. If the conditions are right, the productivity increases. How many of you have been in a facility in Durban in the humid summer? Or what happens

in a facility in Gauteng or Cape Town in the middle of win-ter? What tem-perature do you experience? We have measured up to 45oC and over 95% hu-midity or as low as 3oC. In addition to the people issue, what about products?

Most packaging carries warnings about not ex-ceeding certain limits – how of-ten do we do it? Chocolates get ruined at both extremes and many other products can be spoilt by heat or cold. Now I’m not saying we

need to heat and aircondition the buildings – that would be tantamount to treason with the present energy crisis.

One of the great ideas of a green world is everyone driving around in electric vehicles. Well, the power crisis in South Africa has put paid to that idea – there’s no electricity to

charge them. On the factories and warehousing front, I sup-pose we actually think DCs (distribution centres) and ware-houses are green today, as most equipment is electric. The truth of the matter is that electricity generation is probably the most carbon-polluting source on this planet so the need to be efficient with electricity, even if running electric ve-

hicles, is paramount, say Martin Bailey and Gary Benatar of Industrial Logistic Systems.

It is, however, possible to design buildings that are comfortable to work in without any additional energy costs


Radiant footprintIt is, however, possible to design buildings that are comfortable to work in without any additional energy costs. The first step is to understand the difference between radiant heat and transmissive heat. Simply put, radiant heat is the heat that you get when you park a black car in the sun and touch it - transmissive heat is the heat that gets inside. So when we design facilities we need to insulate them. Good insulation will let less heat in and keep the facility comfortable longer.

Just as important is its radiant footprint. Light colours are a must. One of the easiest ways of reducing heat build-up in a building is its ori-entation. A building designed with the long side North-South will generate less heat than East-West orientation as the direct roof exposure is reduced. Then you come to the East and West walls, they also transmit heat, so insulate them too.

High buildingsOne of my pet topics is building high. The higher you build the more efficient the building. Forget about the cubic volume you get at a lower con-struction cost, that’s the cherry on the top. The higher you go, the less footprint you need for the same capacity and, therefore, the smaller the radiant signature. At the same time, the area to insulate is reduced.

A side benefit is the lower you are from the roof, the less you experience the heat being transmitted and being built up under the roof. A secondary effect of high buildings is the densification you get industrially.

With the current cost of land and getting services and roads to facilities, the more we densify, the less energy we use in the long term. Internally, shorter distances mean we get higher productiv-ity out of our materials handling equipment thus using less energy.

VentilationIn South Africa, we pay scant regard to ventilation in buildings, other than what is legislated. So if we need 2% of the roof to be ventilated for fire extraction, we will put it in, but with the hope that we will never have to use that ventilation. One of the key ways to control temperature in a building is to use the smoke ventilation systems intelligently, so at least there is some payback.

A simple method is to open the smoke ventilation systems at night when it’s cooler and there is no radiant heat to exhaust the hot air that has built up in the building. So if the temperature is colder outside than the required temperature inside, open the vents! In winter the vents can be opened in the day to let in warmer air if the internal temperature is colder than necessary.

Two systemsIf the building needs mechanical ventilation (posi-

tive pressurisation) or cooling systems, design them to be reversed in the event of fire and reduce the need for two systems. This system can also be used intelligently to control the environment.

How many refrigerated facilities will bring in external air if it’s the same temperature as the internal requirement in winter, and switch off the refrigeration plants? So the need for some intel-ligent building control in warehouses and DC’s is becoming a necessity.

Heating and coolingIf you need airconditioning in your warehouse, you can install more energy-efficient systems. Typically these may include:

Evaporative cooling (although not as reliable, it uses 40% to 60% less power)Ice storage facilities (builds up ice outside

peak times – reduces peak loading)Zone controlled airconditioning (only cools areas where necessary).

If you are building a freezer instead of electric

Reduction in peak demand is as important as reducing overall power consumption


Artificial lightingThe natural tendency has been to use the cheapest lighting fixtures. The most common industrial light is sodium lighting. These lights are highly inefficient. The light they produce is poor, they degrade over time, the colour rendition affects productivity and accuracy, they generate heat and exploding bulbs are one of the most common sources of industrial fires. Mercury vapour and metal halide are little better; they cost more but the white light is a benefit to productivity and accuracy due to the colour rendition.

Fluorescent lighting has been ineffective in high warehousing applications until now. The fittings are expensive, the tube life short and unsuitable for giving sufficient light in high applications. This has all changed with the development of the T54 tubes and reflective technology. Today, we can get a fluorescent light that will work at 14m and higher, give in excess of 50 000 hours life, give perfect colour rendition, use significantly less electricity and generate little or no heat.

Certain companies even offer intelligent fittings that switch on progressively to only use the number of tubes or fittings required to give the required light level. These fittings will also detect move-ment and only switch on automatically if there is activity in an aisle.

Another simple trick is to set out the lighting circuits so that one can manually switch on in sequence to finally put on all the lights in an aisle depending on ambient light. It’s also possible to install lights that fall under natural (south light monitors) on a different circuit. These only switch on at night or in low light conditions.

Now all of this is not science fiction or new. We have designed most of the above lighting types into Shoprite’s DC’s back in 1995 and modern lighting has been part of the our specification or added value we give in any facility we design. Unfortunately, precedence is often given to the electrical or ventilation consultants or architects, and often our recommendations are ignored.

Batteries and chargingOne of the biggest users of electricity is the facil-ity to charge batteries for forklifts. It is, however, possible to save up to 30% of this power as we have been doing for years. Firstly you need to use full cycle and not opportunistic or end-of-shift charging.

By running full cycle charging, you only charge it when it has depleted to 20% of capacity. This

heating in the floor, consider building the freezer on a glycol tank instead. This requires little or no energy.

Natural lightingThe first thing people try when conserving energy is natural light. Well it’s free and it will save energy. And here comes the “but” – with light comes heat. So unless you design to balance this, what you gain on one side, you lose on the other.

First of all the transparent panels that we use for natural light are not insulated. For your insulation to be effective, the RK value of the transparent or translucent sheeting or windows needs to be the same. There are products that are insulated but let light in.

The next step is to place the light openings in such a way that we reduce radiant heat. In South Africa, we need south-facing openings. If you put horizontal translucent or transparent sheeting in the roof, the natural light is excellent, but the heat coming through makes all money spent on insulation a waste. Similarly on the East and West faces.

Mechanical shuttersNatural light on the South and North faces can work – on the South face you never get any direct light, on the North face you get direct light only in winter when a bit of free heat is worthwhile. So, unless you are investing in expensive mechanical shutters that change the light coming in over the day and the year, invest in good design.

It is possible to put natural light in the roof but this must be in vertical monitors and south or north facing. Both Shoprite facilities we designed (CT 1995 and JHB 2001) have this and we didn’t enter them for a design award – it was just good design practice.

The more natural lighting you can use the less energy you will expend. We have designed a facility in Saudi Arabia where the external temperature

gets to 50oC. Therefore, we omitted natural light totally, as the cost of transparent sheeting with sufficient insulation to allow the facility to be managed to a consistent 25oC internal temperature was prohibitive. In South Africa it’s feasible but never done. No-one does energy balance viabilities on good natural light vs. artificial lighting and insulation costs.


Generators need to be oversized to achieve your power objectives


means that charging becomes random. The ad-vantage here is that all chargers do not switch on at the same time reducing the peak demand by up to 45%.

Batteries need to have a chance to cool down before being used and need to have been through a full equalization. This requires time, so 2 or 3 batteries per machine are imperative. The initial capital outlay is higher but over time it boils down to the same if not a lower investment. People don’t actually think this through. A fully charged and cooled battery will last longer and give its charge out over a longer period with fewer losses (another reason to cool the facility).

New high-frequency chargers that are more efficient exist. These chargers automatically detect when a battery is full and reduce overheating, overcharging and gassing. They also detect the battery status and therefore continue charging after disruption at the same status as before, rather than starting the programme over. Some of the older chargers will restart the charge process on being switched on.

Battery managementIt is also possible to install battery management systems that manage the chargers and the charge process, so that the peak load is managed, and the position in a cycle is remembered. If power goes down, there is intelligent load shedding of charging without affecting battery life.

Finally, the selection of the correct battery tech-nologies will give savings. We now have sealed batteries that can be charged anywhere without ventilation (reducing electricity consumption). There is no hydrogen gas, but they require good chargers. Additional savings include the elimination of flame proofing and acid resistance. Sealed batteries also work better in a cooler environment.

By installing power factor correction at your incom-ing power distribution boards, you can improve the stability and efficiency of the transmission network. Power factor correction (PFC) is the process of adjusting the characteristics of electric loads.

Machinery and operationsOften overlooked when trying to optimise produc-tivity, is the payback in reduced energy consump-tion, fewer people and fewer machines. Clearly, if we can find ways to simply handle goods less, we will improve operational efficiency and save power. Every time you lift, lower, transport, pack or unpack product you use power. Thus if you handle the product less, you can save power.

Managing your power All warehouses have associated offices. Here power can be saved by:

Installing intelligent monitoring systems and building management systems (which switch lights on and off, airconditioning, etc only where absolutely needed)

•

Turning off airconditioning, lights and equip-ment when not being used

Reducing wastageReduction in peak demand is as important as re-ducing overall power consumption. For example, if you can use some of your electricity at night, this will reduce the day load on Eskom. This can be achieved by:

Swopping out batteries in such a way that battery charging can be done randomly and delayed if peaking is approachedUsing a generator to “lop off” peaksUsing ice bank cooling to reduce aircondition-ing loads in the dayUsing heat exchangers to warm water by using excess heat from cooling plants.

GeneratorsA generator is an essential part of any modern warehouse. Without a generator, it is likely that the warehouse will not be able to service customers.

Generators need to be oversized to achieve your power objectives. For example, if you need to produce 200Kw to run your warehouse, you will need a 250Kw generator.Generators should not directly feed sensitive equipment (such as computers). An uninter-rupted power supply (UPS) needs to be located between the generator and the sensitive kit.Make sure the generator has sufficient diesel storage to operate effectively. All the savings you make will require less emergency generation. Batteries for forklifts can be connected to inverters to supplement emergency needs – especially clean power.

An Arrogant Offering?

Fragmented supply chain can create delivery problems on projects

DESIGN-BUILD

To the outsider, the construction industry appears as a monolithic entity. On site, however, it is a very different story. NMC Business School General Manager, David

Elliott, describes it as fragmented, the result, he says of the cyclical nature of the industry. In the past, large contractors carried all their own multi-tradesmen, which became a heavy overhead burden when the industry hit a dip. As a solution, companies would advise tradesmen to start up on their own and then, as business picked up, they would hire them back as sub-contractors.

Today, on a typical project, principal contractors outsource about 70% of the work to sub-contractors. “The communication issues around this fragmented supply chain can create delivery problems on proj-ects and an incentive to be claims conscious,” says David. “Typical in-house interventions, like quality, safety, health, environment or project management — would theoretically only impact around 30% of the project deliverables — the result was obvious. It was unsustainable.”

Co-operation to learnNMC (Pty) Ltd, a diversified construction company with over 1000 people, approached the sub-contractors, and said, “We need your managers sitting together with ours around the same table of learning”. This network, created over 20 years ago, was then formalised in recent years by establishing the NMC Business School. This formal approach ensures ongoing benefits to a fast-growing supply chain through corporate partnering.

“The other issue we wanted to help overcome,” says David, “was the natural tendency towards the formation of professional silos within the industry. We wanted cross-pollination throughout the disci-plines in order to improve our own service delivery,

which was often plagued with poor information flow.”

Clients often believe that the traditional tender process (design-bid-build) will get them a better price, says David, but, at the end of the day, after varia-tions and litigation, it often works out to be more expensive.

The tender trapWhen NMC started out, one of the ways the company differentiated its offering was to say it would not compete on the tender market, rather opting to deliver to enlightened clients who wanted world-class facilities. Unfortunately, this approach has been misunderstood by many of the design professionals over the years. Contractors saw it almost as an arrogant offering. However, this was born out of frustration with the traditional system, which often awarded contracts to the lowest bidders, who then hit the client and

sub-contractors with claims for variations due to changes in the design.

In the last few years, NMC has overcome this nega-tive perception through the formation of the NMC Alliance. The Alliance is simply a term describing formal corporate partnerships between the design professionals — many of them appointed on the recommendation of various discerning clients — and NMC. In the USA, 50% of non-residential

In recent years, the mantra of the construc-tion industry has been simply “Growth,

growth, growth.” Today’s market leaders, however, recognise that the future is about

sustainability. The NMC Business School is at the forefront of creating that future.

DESIGN-BUILD

projects are now being done using design-build.

“We’ve been of-fering design-build for nearly 30 years, mainly in the industrial sector, but we’re now offer-ing our clients this value, using the same predictable delivery system in the other sectors as well.”

NMC Marketing Manager, Stephanie King, says this speaks to NMC’s proud claim that “our first price is our last price”, as contracts are rewarded on a lump sum basis. “And,” says David, “with the Business School, we intend to take that model and train a larger supply chain pool to tackle the commercial, retail, institutional and leisure sectors.”

Building coursesWhat started out largely as an in-company opera-tion to support the Alliance, has now grown into a fledgling business school receiving queries from candidates as far afield as Egypt. David says they were surprised by the response. In the first nine months, more than 600 people signed up.

The starting point was to create a foundation course — the Passport Programme — so that everyone was on the same playing field, speaking a common language. Then there were the ad hoc ProTeam courses for senior-level managers, cover-ing disciplines such as contract law and finance. Furthermore, companies that bought into the idea — 22 from the launch — received, as part of their paid subscription, executive briefings delivered by various business leaders once a month. Membership was structured as either a corporate, where the fee gave it access to courses and the briefings, or membership was simply as an individual paying for specific sessions.

This year, the NMC Business School will launch the Contractor’s Apprentice Programme (CAP). “Our biggest obstacle is the high attrition rate of incubator programmes,” says David. “Emerging black sub-contractors get trained, coached and perform well until they are left unsupported in a highly competitive tender environment. I am led to believe that this happens in almost 85% of the cases reviewed.”

Apprenticeship programmeNMC partnered with 1 Call ASAP, Oosthuizen & Co. and Shanduka Black Umbrellas, an organisa-tion that was created to assist small, medium and micro-sized Enterprises (SMMEs) to grow their businesses through comprehensive administrative support. The partnership created CAP (the Contrac-tors’ Apprentice Programme), a four-year business apprenticeship programme for contractors.

“It’s about making tradespeople into business people,” says David.

For those contractors wanting to participate in the accredited skills programmes, but who have no school credentials, NMC has partnered with Cape Peninsula University Technichon (CPUT) to provide recognition of prior learning service. The CAP will also offer a National Certificate of Construction Contracting, Level 2, for business owners around trade skills, and CPUT will be the assessment office for that work. CETA is in the process of finalising the accreditation to run these courses.

David’s three-year plan is eventually to offer a management development programme over a three-week period that will compete with offerings from other tertiary institutions, but to a smaller market.

“I believe in what I am doing,” he says, frankly. “This is about building sustainable work equity.”

SOFTWARE FOR ARCHITECTS

Facts at Your Fingertips

Other systems simply regurgitate product marketing information, while we research every product we list

Screens give details of products, including technical specifications and application requirements

Fortunately, technology is easing the burden of the modern architect, with software elimi-nating many of the time-consuming repeti-tive tasks that previously slowed progress.

“Architect & Specificator” recently chatted to Glenn Treadaway, CEO, and Grant Ferreira, Specifying Manager, at New Dimension Computing of AutoSpec about another locally developed tool to take the tedium out of design and specification.

While Glenn provides the information, Grant turns out to be a dab hand at steering us through the software, indicating the features as Glenn describes them.

”AutoSpec was created for quantity surveyors as well as architects,” begins Glenn, whose father originally developed a bill production program called QSplus for Quantity Surveyors. “We started building QPL libraries for QSplus’s QS’s, which then led to the development of AutoSpec, which

was built for architects and QS’s.” The program, either PC or server-based, is a surprisingly afford-able tool that is available for a modest monthly fee allowing users to search through countless products and is updated daily.

Sophisticated databaseEssentially a very clever catalogue, AutoSpec provides a sophisticated, searchable database of product specifications with which to complete a project. “AutoSpec can offer over 20 million permutations from its database of specs,” says Glenn. “It’ll ensure, for example, that the builder spec engine teams the right lock handle with the right handle back plate, lock, cylinder etc, or help select the right paint for a specific substrate, whether its interior or exterior, marine coastal or inland. Nobody else offers this. It’s our unique selling point.

“We’ve done the research to save the specifier offices around the country from having to do it while still allowing them to select the right product and write the correct specification for it. At the beginning, I don’t think we realised what we were taking on,” he laughs. “Other systems simply regurgitate product marketing information, while we break down and research every product we list.”

Specifications are compiled by trained industry professionals with a thorough knowledge of what the market requires. Technical information is provided by the manufacturers who vouch for its accuracy by reviewing their libraries prior to going public. “Producing a library can take three to four months due to the thoroughness of our review process,” says Glenn. “We’re very aware of the importance of getting it right.

PowerSpecOne of the strongest features of the programme is the

Although the architectural process is generally recognised as a creative one,

few outsiders are aware of the incredible amount of research and background infor-mation required to complete a specifica-

SOFTWARE FOR ARCHITECTS

intelligence of its specification engine, PowerSpec. “There are so many products available and many require technical knowledge before specifying them. If you’re sitting there thinking ‘what can I use that won’t result in a law suit or cost overruns’ then the built-in consultant feature of the programme is exactly what you need,” Glenn grins.”

To select paint you simply indicate the relevant criteria and the programme will offer you a number of suitable solutions, from which you make your choice. You don’t have to wade through count-less catalogues of unsuitable products to whittle down what you want. Products can be chosen by brand, application, colour, technical/performance specs or any other relevant criteria.

Basic budgetingFor example, using SpiderSpec, you can choose the brand you prefer, indicate the substrate or environment it will encounter and the pro-gramme will give you options and specifica-tions of matching products within the range that are applicable.

“We include pricing details too, along with the date the price was provided, so that basic budgeting can be incorporated. The system is now mature enough to represent most of the major players in each category. However, we don’t control who the architect ultimately uses. The information provided is as unbiased as possible.”

Granny testAlthough highly sophisticated, the search engine is designed to be user-friendly. “When we de-signed our search engine, we gave it the Granny Test before approving it,” he adds. “Basically, I want to know that even my Granny could answer the questions and get the correct spec. We can’t expect the architect to know every detail of every product out there, there are simply too many. So we’ve focused on providing as much information as possible in the most accessible format we can think of.

”Whichever search style or manufacturer the user chooses the interface remains the same, keeping the process comfortably recognisable. The designer can also work backwards through the process, if you will. If the project has a predetermined colour scheme, you can set this as your parameter and ask the programme to supply only products meet-ing the technical specifications which have options available in this colour.”

For those who’d like to see the original brochures, brochure vaults downloads are also available. Other add-ons come in the form of some of the tools available from manufacturers, such as paint selectors and colour profilers.

Time saverOnce the product has been selected, the next step is to generate the project documentation. AutoSpec creates detailed scheduling and documentation list-

ing all products specified, along with instructions for correct installation or application. It does this with sublime ease, simply by sending the selected product into the created project and indicating which room it will be used in.

“In terms of time-saving features, this is the grandaddy of them all,” Glenn smiles. “Our output document offers three levels of information, including prod-uct specifications, manufacturer’s supplementary specifications and then the national or international standards which apply to the selected product. We based our documentation on a specification form designed by Prof. Hans Wegelin, so it’s extremely comprehensive. It describes the entire building in a nutshell, with images if necessary.”

In spite of the density of this information, the pro-gramme can literally generate a forty-page document in seconds. Pretty impressive when you consider that previously this would have been an entirely separate task taking many hours or even days.

Controlling the process“There are no regulations in South Africa com-pelling companies to use this sort of document,” adds Glenn. “However it’s an important means of controlling the process and gives the designer some recourse if it later transpires that some sort of building failure occurred as a result of deviation from or lack of a specification.

“At the end of the day, it’s about matching the needs of architect and manufacturer for the best possible result,” he finishes.Glenn Treadaway, New Dimensions Computing, Tel: (011) 804-6442, Email: [email protected], Web: www.autospec.com


Shrink-wrap Success

From left: André Blignaut and Paul Hough

Protectapeel being applied during a training exercise

Will simply absorb any grease, oil or dust that happens to be on the surface

For this reason, it’s very easy to just let this task slide. But consider this: during the construction of a large new building for an insurance company, a well-known

multi-national construction company has already replaced up to R700 000 worth of high performance glass due to breakages and staining from cement and other substances on site. They’ve begun to look for alternatives, and discovered a company that is taking the hassle out of protective coatings.

“Architect & Specificator” sat down with Paul Hough and André Blignaut of Protectapeel to learn about a coating that is quite unique in both its application and abilities. Both have brought along a collection of samples, from a demonstration window to a blue-coated rock, and seem quite excited about the product.

What is it?Protectapeel is a liquid-based thermoplastic that is applied directly to the surface with a brush, roller or spray-gun. It requires no catalysts or hardeners during preparation, and is non-toxic.

“However, the most important factor is that Pro-tectapeel uses no adhesives whatsoever,” says André. “Instead, Protectapeel undergoes a chemical reaction with the oxygen underneath it, vacuuming itself to the surface in a contour-hugging film. This eliminates the need to clean the surface before protecting it, since Protectapeel will simply absorb any grease, oil or dust that happens to be on the surface.”

The surface is resistant to a number of common

chemicals found on construction sites, such as acetone and alkaline in cement. It’s also UV-stable and scratch and scuff-resistant. Since Protectapeel suctions itself to the surface, water and air are removed, eliminating small ‘micro-climates’ or trapped bubbles under the surface which are a large factor in corrosion.

The product is removed by simply peeling off the hardened coating from the surface. It comes off completely, leaving no stains or scraps of the coating. It’s an incredibly effective product, so we are not unduly surprised when André informs us that the product has been endorsed by AGI Aluminium.

All shapes and sizes“Glassstrip, one of the Protectapeel offering, is used extensively on glass, wood, aluminium and similar materials, but we have products suited to specific surface types and requirements like irregular

During the course of construction, where the sheer size of a growing structure can dwarf the workers who scurry upon its surface, it is very easy to get caught up in the big picture and forget the little things. Protecting glass panes and aluminium frames, for example, seems time-consuming and wasteful in the grand scheme of the project – you have to line them with

plastic and tape, a tiresome process that seems wasteful when the plastic and tape is easily damaged and removed by

strong winds.

shaped objects, for example. In addition, we have special inhibitors for rust and fire that allow us to bring the Protectapeel composition up to task if a client has to adhere to certain regulations and specifications,” adds André.

While it has a number of on-site applications, it is also beneficial for installers. Normally, the in-staller carries the cost of stocking the glass until the construction company is ready for the glass to be put in place. It’s often left until the last minute, since accidents do, and will, occur during construction.

With Protectapeel, the benefit is twofold. It can speed up the project by allowing the installation of the glass in the early stages of the project, protect-ing against all but the most blatant accidents. Or it can ensure that no damage comes to the glass while it is being kept at the installer’s premises, minimising the costs incurred from breakages and other mishaps.

Balancing it outWhile this list of achievements sounds impressive, Paul is quite open to discussing Protectapeel’s limitations. “Certain porous surfaces prove to be a bit of a problem. When you apply the Protectapeel coating, if the surface is incredibly porous, it will just disperse into the pores.

“If you have a number of indentations with no curves, then Protectapeel has enough elasticity to be able to pull out of those crevices. But if the surface is more naturally porous, with pores running in curves and loops beneath the surface, you may end up with some of the material left behind.”

In addition, depending on the Protectapeel prod-uct type, you should check with the company before applying it to an acrylic surface. Since it is

a thermoplastic material, it may also suffer from brittleness in extremely cold weather, which could negate its ability to remove as easily

Got skills?While plastic and tape is an incredibly easy protection system, some might be concerned that Protectapeel may require additional skills or know-how that may limit its use by construction workers. Paul answers quite candidly. “Protectapeel is a one-part product that has been designed with the unskilled labourer in mind. It can be left open on site and will not dry out. It requires no forward preparation beforehand and it’s fairly resilient to on site issues such as dirt,

FabulousforfabricatingIn addition to the construction field, Protectap-eel has found extensive use in other areas: in protecting shipped items in marine environ-ments which are too large for the cargo hold or containers, in dusty environments such as the mines which need to protect spares for long periods of time, and even in the movie industry.

However, one of the applications that really caught our eye was its ability to protect com-ponents during the fabrication process. Paul explains, “You can protect a sheet metal sur-face, for example, then proceed to drill, saw and weld to your heart’s content. The coating will not peel back, draw in, or interfere in any way, which drastically decreases the amount of damage occurred during the manufacturing and fabrication process, cutting down on un-necessary repolishing and the like.”

GLASS & GLAZING


dust and other foreign objects getting into the liquid.

“The main consideration is the thickness of the coat. Because it shrinkwraps itself to the surface, you have to be aware the thick-ness may change. You should apply a 250-300 micron coat to allow for a dry 100 micron skin in the end. We supply a plastic thickness gauge that detects the thickness – if the layer is too thin or a scratch or tear appears in the coating, you can simply recoat that section. Protectapeel will bond itself to the previous coating, and it will still all lift in one go when you need to remove the product.”

Grinaker has already utilised Protectapeel during the construction of the Silver Star Casino to protect stainless steel window and door frames, which are highly susceptible to damage during construc-tion. It has also been used at the Cape Royale in Cape Town, and a number of other projects. With the product proving its worth, Paul and André feel they have a winner on their hands, and we would have to agree.

The new studios will be used for the film-ing of local soap operas and drama series flighted on SABC TV and M-Net.

Actom Mechanical Equipment’s Arnot prod-uct group, manufacturers of the jack-up mounts, installed a total of 797 units for the two studios – 522 for the larger studio, which has a floor area of 768 m2, and 275 for the other studio with a 515 m2 floor area.

The Arnot unit, subcontracted to Bastion Con-struction, the main contractor for the R80m Stark Studios head office construction project, completed installation of the jacking system in the studios in July 2009.

No external noisesThe Mason jack-up floor slab system, which is unique in South Africa, is used to establish a per-manent air gap between the structural floor and floating floor of a room requiring total vibration and sound isolation, such as a studio, conference room or laboratory, where similar air-gap sound proofing is applied in the walls and ceilings to ensure that no external noises can penetrate the space.

“There is no other system like it available in the country and the alternative soundproofing systems

for floors that are sometimes used – usually con-sisting of solid timber laid between the structural floor and the floating floor – don’t even come close to it in effectiveness,” comments Arnot operations manager Trevor Davis.

“The 75 mm air gap that our jacking system creates between the structural and floating floors has been shown to be as effective in keeping sound out as a 600 mm thick solid inter-floor layer would be, which isn’t very practical in modern buildings,” he adds.

Isolating the floorsThe way the system works is that the jack-up mounts are placed at regular intervals on top of plastic sheeting laid across the entire sur-face of the structural floor – the purpose of the plastic sheeting being to isolate the floating and structural floors from each other, which would otherwise bond together.

Each jack consists of a cast-iron outer housing with a tapped hole through the top for the T-spanner, which connects to the top of a rubber element inside the housing and against which the jacking-up takes place. The steel reinforcing for the concrete floating floor is placed in such a way that the reinforcing is supported on the jacks throughout – the housing of each of the jacks being equipped with projecting supports designed specifically for the reinforcing rods to rest upon. The concrete is then poured, care being taken to ensure that the upper portions of the jacks, in which the T-spanners are to be fitted later when the floating floor has to be lifted, are left exposed.

With each complete round of turns of the T-spanners, the floating floor is

raised by 2 mm.

This process is repeated until the jacks are fully extended and the targeted air-gap of 75 mm between the structural and floating floors is achieved.

A rchitect & Specificator” meets with Donald Platt, MD at FloorworX, for a look into what’s happen-

ing with large-scale commercial floor coverings, and the news is promising.

“We don’t handle much residential work since our product is ideally suited to infrastructural develop-ments,” he tells us. “We supply a lot of vinyl, linoleum and antistatic flooring, as well as products for coaches, buses and the like.

Specialised floors“There’s an international trend to-wards specialised flooring, and it’s an area we excel in. We’ve literally supplied thousands of kilometres of fit-for-purpose flooring. Over 36kms of our product was used in the Baragwanath and Khayelitsha hospitals. We also provided all the floors for the 2010 sports stadi-ums using a rubberised product.” Factories receive special attention too, with a PVC product made from recycled scrap keeping industrial floors well covered.

On the topic of hospitals, Donald is enthusiastic about a new product

to delineate specific areas in open plan structures, with vinyl being well suited to this. It can be readily cut into almost any shape and the wide selection of colours available goes far beyond the bland checker patterns commonly seen.

Training“But the best floor in the world will look terrible if it’s laid badly,” Donald emphasises. He adds that training has become a focal point of the company. FloorworX boasts one of only two training centres in the country, and offers free training courses, even to the competition. “We get a lot of flak for this, but the idea is to uplift the overall industry. It’s important to see the big picture. We already have over 70% of the market, so I believe we’re strong enough to take the risk.”

A walk through the company’s showroom gives an indication of just how many floor options are avail-able to the market, and Donald is happy to point out both new arrivals and old favourites. “We do a lot of product development to meet new market needs,” he says, indicating a prototype flooring material made of recycled car tyres.

“We also stock products to meet existing demand. For instance, tiles may have gained popularity lately, but many clients still like the softer feeling of Novilon underfoot. In addition, we offer the excellent Kährs range of wood flooring for the high end of the market, as well as a range of Quick-Step laminates.”

He adds that while laminates are currently the fastest growing flooring sector, the trend has taken a knock due to bad feedback on poor quality. “We have an excellent product from Belgium, but you can get a similar product from the Far East for a quarter of the price. The product won’t last, adding to the cycle of negative feedback, but you can’t

While this may be a troubling issue, it’s not a primary concern for FloorworX. A strong reputation with a number of major contractors and an established work history in the public sector should ensure that the company’s well-researched products remain under our feet for the foreseeable future.

During a recent visit to the offices of Infraset, a Busi-ness Unit within Aveng Manufacturing, “Architect

& Specificator” met with Gary Steyn, who has held the position of Manag-ing Director of the company since September last year. “The role is fairly new, but the company is not. I’ve been here for 22 years,” he laughs, when we ask about his new title.

Practical insightWith a civil engineering background and 28 years of experience in con-struction, Gary has some impressive projects under his belt, having worked with industry giants such as Group 5 and Grinaker-LTA. “It’s given me a tangible, pragmatic insight into the demands of our clients,” he explains. “I was once an Infraset customer myself. An advantage of having been around for two decades is that I am familiar with most people in the value chain – suppliers, staff and customers,” he chuckles.

While the construction industry is the principle focus of the company, its divisions address fairly diverse

It says a lot when a company chooses to source its leaders from among its own ranks. It’s also noteworthy when its candidates can boast decades within the organisation at a

time when corporate mobility is fashionable.

ing and Building division offers paving, concrete retaining walls, concrete roof tiles and related accessories.

Construction cushionAlthough some may have found it daunting to take up the reins in the midst of a global recession, Gary is quietly optimistic. “I think we’ve bottomed out and activity levels are expected to increase,” he states. “Of course we’ve been affected, but like many companies in the construction industry, we’ve been cushioned to a degree by the infrastructure programmes currently in progress.

“Even in tough times, our shareholders want to see growth. Since organic growth has been somewhat limited by circumstances, we’ve looked to optimis-ing our core competencies to run more efficiently. Personally, I have a strong bias towards operational efficiency, regardless of the economic climate. A company should always run smoothly.”

Entitled “Home without Harm, Everyone Everyday”, Aveng’s safety initiative is prominent in all Aveng operations. Overseas there’s a growing awareness of the need for safe products,” adds Gary with reference to equipment suppliers. “This applies downstream as much as it applies to operational processes. Companies abroad are finding them-selves being held accountable for safety failures arising from flaws in their products long after the product has left their hands.

areas. For instance, the Infrastructure products division provides pipes, culverts, manholes and special precast products – Infraset supplied road barriers for the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (G.F.I.P.) currently underway, as well has having a large role in Johannesburg’s inner city infrastructural upgrade.

The Railway product division supplies sleepers and a range of other products to the rail sector, with Infraset having provided many of the materials required for the Gautrain project. The Landscap-

that Infraset will be turning its attention. “Africa is experiencing a much faster growth phase than other continents at the moment, and we’re look-ing into geographic expansion into the region. We already have permanent branches in Swaziland and Zambia and often go into other areas for temporary assignments. A permanent assignment needs to

have at least a five year horizon in order to be sustainable.”

Although the Landscaping & Building division has not gained a foothold in this region, the company has won some major contracts in Africa related to mineral extraction and infrastructure development.

Opportunities abroadOf course, the company will not be neglecting foreign shores. “South America is another growth opportunity – they have the next World Cup,” he continues. “If they’re suitably impressed by Aveng’s involvement in the South African arena, we’ll piggyback on that as a means of gaining ground there.

“Wherever we are, however, our aim is to provide 100% client satisfac-tion. It’s a big ask, because this is an industry where it’s not always easy to

get things right. We need to offer the best possible value to our clients, balancing quality and price in an attractive package. I think we’re getting this right, because we’ve achieved preferred supplier status with many clients. This is a huge advantage and a great privilege,” he ends.

Hanlie Turner, Marketing Manager of the Cement & Concrete Institute (C&CI), says, “When sound waves strike a bar-rier such as a wall or floor, the waves

are reflected, absorbed or transmitted in varying degrees depending on the form of construction of the barrier. To control the level of noise between rooms, the most important factor that a barrier must have is good sound insulation. The heavier the material, the better – and that’s why concrete is an excellent material for sound insulation.”

Building closer“Noise, such as that emanating from increasing traffic volumes and weekend lawnmowers, is more easily contained by a concrete or concrete masonry structure compared with dwellings constructed of lighter materials. The techniques of sound insulation using heavy walls are equally valid in insulating

noise from the outside of the house as they are between rooms, even if it is a bit more difficult to achieve in outside walls with their windows for light and ventilation.

“However, to help reduce the amount of noise reaching these openings, one can utilise the ‘sound shadow’ cast by a concrete or concrete masonry wall on the property boundary.”

Hanlie says although such walls will not be a complete noise barrier, they are very effective in repelling noises in the upper frequency range – such as squealing tyres and screeching brakes – which

are most grating on the nerves. “For the best sound attenua-tion, such walls should be as high as the municipal regulations allow, free from pen-etrations, and as close to the prop-erty boundary as possible.

“Boundary walls, as well as providing some relief from outdoor noise, can be skillfully planned to provide intimate courtyards and garden spaces that add privacy, security and attractiveness to a home,” she states.

Optimal temperature controlWhen it comes to thermal insulation, careful design can ensure that concrete and concrete masonry

walls absorb and store the heat of the winter sun by day to warm those chilly nights, while in summer the same walls can be shaded by eaves to keep the house cool. In this way, concrete and concrete masonry walls help to main-tain interior temperatures at comfortable levels throughout the year.

“The mass of a concrete inter-nal wall is just as important for passive solar design as it is for sound insulation. Combined with good building orientation and sufficient roof

insulation, concrete masonry walls with their high thermal storage capacity can even out the effects of outside temperature fluctuations. The result is comfortable inside temperatures achieved with minimal use of heating or cooling systems, thereby reducing energy costs.

Extremes of temperature“Concrete roof tiles also have good thermal insula-tion properties and afford the home-owner a good measure of protection from extremes of temperature. Such tiles are also more affordable than most other roofing materials,” Hanlie concludes.

Shrinking building site sizes have resulted in houses that are closer together and transfer of noise between houses is therefore greater.

The lifestyle estates proliferating throughout the country are giving buyers an opportunity to build their dream homes with profes-

sional assistance, and in spite of dismal eco-nomic forecasts, mod-est abodes are not the

order of the day.

A drive through any estate will reveal towering architec-tural structures,

most of which boast suitably impressive entrance areas. And the focal point of any entrance is, of course, the door. Nadine de Villiers at Van Acht Doors & Windows tells “Architect & Specifica-tor” that the company has been involved in some very exciting work in terms of designing entrance door-ways.

First impressions“We’ve been involved in a number of unique develop-ments that have allowed us to really showcase our cre-ative abilities,” she smiles. “An entrance is the first thing you encounter when entering a building and it needs to make an impact.” Some homeowners take this maxim to the extreme, with no expense spared In getting the first impression just right.

“We’ve worked on projects where the doors and win-dows alone cost R900 000,” says Nadine. “Obviously our standard ranges weren’t specified in these instances; we custom-designed prod-

ucts specifically for the clients. Our CAD bureau is always enthusiastic about working on projects of this nature because it gives them a chance to display their talents.

“Generally the architect will provide a brief, which we work around. For example, in a project we were involved with in Blair Athol, the designer supplied a pattern, which we carved into the wood using a CNC cutter. The result was totally bespoke, and it was so successful that others have copied the style,” she says, with obvious pride.

Design inspiration“At the moment we’re seeing a lot of projects involv-ing double volumes and plenty of glass. This mirrors trends overseas to incorporate light and openness into the design,” Nadine continues. “In fact, much of our work is influenced by international trends. This is a family-owned business, and as a family, we travel a lot. When we see something we like, we’ll use it as inspiration for new designs.”

She adds that entrance design isn’t limited to the front door. “Many of our clients will ask that the theme be continued through the entire street face, and we’ve found that we’re now designing garage doors to work harmoniously with the en-trance area.”

encounter, Nadine tells us about a number of proj-ects currently in the pipeline. “We have three spec houses we’re working on that are completely differ-ent, in spite of the fact that they’re all within the same estate,” she says. “One is Balinese, requiring a rough, rustic style with matching garage. Another has a country/farm theme with sash windows and rural-type doors featuring horizontal cross-beams. Finally, there’s a Japanese-style home, which is very clean and linear.”

She continues, reminding us that doors are not limited to entrance areas. “In a well-designed home, the windows and internal doors are part of the overall feel. They must echo the design throughout the house, working together to create a flow from one area to another.”

Creative cultureAt Van Acht, creativity is not limited to the design department. “Our sales team have seen so many designs that they’re very comfortable with offering ideas,” Nadine explains. “We also understand that it’s important to cater for many different tastes. You can’t let your own personal preferences get in the way of finding a solution for someone else.

“We’re aware that style may be influenced by a vari-ety of issues. For example, we’ve noticed differences from a cultural perspective, as well as by age bracket. There are times when I think it would be great to clear out our catalogue and focus on clean, modern designs. However, it makes no sense to discontinue ranges when there’s still a demand for them.

“But, just because something isn’t my cup of tea, doesn’t mean it isn’t beautiful to someone else.”

Vast varietyDouble volumes lend themselves to doors of appropri-ate stature, so Van Acht has a range of ‘extra-height’ doors to fit the bill. The company often employs the skills of local craftsmen to hand-carve unique pat-terns into wood to offer the buyer a one-of-a-kind product, invariably at a surprisingly reasonable cost. In most instances, solid wood of exceptional quality is utilised.

“While the customised designs are in a different price league, our standard offerings remain quite affordable, and we’re very excited to be able to offer such distinctive products at an accessible price,” Nadine concludes.

A first birthdayThe 16th of March was a significant milestone in Aurecon’s history. A year ago before that, the merger of three leading engineering consultancies, Africon, Connell Wagner and Ninham Shand, signalled the birth of a new global group.

A three-way global merger has meant Aurecon has significant capacity and skills in a range of market sectors and a global footprint span-ning many countries. The merger allows the company to offer its clients intimate local knowledge combined with global expertise. This knowledge exists through the powerful synergies the merger created, increasing its capacity to optimally utilise all of the op-portunities in its market environment.

“Aurecon represents a rein-vigorated culture with an expanded service offering and a considered focus on our clients and how we deliver value,” explains CEO Paul Hardy. In addition, Aurecon’s business model focuses on tailoring the best team across sectors, expertise (competencies) and geographies to engineer project success.

Versatile admixture for readymixAfter two years of trails, BASF Construction Chemicals South Africa released Glenium 104 to the local market early in 2009. An admixture specially designed for the South African readymix market, it is proving indispensable to the companies that have adopted it, delivering competitive advantage and cutting costs by up to 25%.

“Glenium 104 is the first broad spectrum plasticiser/super-plasticer based on new-generation Polycarboxylate Ether (PCE) technology to be tailored for the local market – ie, South African cements, crushed aggregates and climatic conditions,” says Rashid Jaffer, Business Systems Manager: Admixture Systems at BASF Construction Chemicals South Africa. “What differentiates it from previous generations of admixtures and even existing third-generation solutions is that it is versatile and robust, with multi dose and multi performance characteristics.

On Every Bag Currently, the world average emission of CO2 per kg of cement is 890g.

The model, developed by AfriSam, not only takes specific types of direct and indirect emissions into account, but also weighs up the effects of interplant transportation. Emission calculations and summations are based on a “cradle to gate” approach, where the “gate” is the factory gate.

The actual value of CO2 associated with manufacturing and transporting each individual product will soon be printed on all AfriSam cement bags, and this will be clearly visible to the end user. The bag will carry a CO2

barometer insignia indicating emissions in comparison to the world average of 890g/kg. Characteristics of low CO2 cement could include low fuel consumption, high mineral component extension (fly ash and GGBS or a combina-tion thereof within SABS standard requirements) and low clinker content.

“We made a sample slab to explain the system and to highlight the benefits of using our system.”

“Essentially we supply a void former to displace the concrete in the middle of a slab, in the form of balls in cages, which we deliver to the site. The cage sits between the top and bottom reinforcing of the slab and the slab looks and behaves like a conventional in-situ concrete slab,” explains Mike.

Cobiax balls are manufactured from recycled plastic and the system com-plies with the Green Star Rating Tool evaluation on materials thus reducing the impact on the environment.

The Cobiax system offers engineers the ability to design ambitious spans imposed by the ar-chitecture and allows the removal of columns which may hamper an effective design. Architects also benefit from

using the Cobiax system as they are able to create slender structures in concrete and maximize usable space.

Acoustic ceiling boardsSaint-Gobain Gyproc now imports Rigitone acoustic ceil-ing boards from Europe. Architects and interior designers can now specify a visually appealing product that offers exceptional performance and that can be fitted to curved or vaulted ceilings.

Rigitone boards are installed on the Donn screw up grid and are assembled in a jointless ceiling system, providing a solution for high-noise areas such as sporting arenas or shopping malls that until now could only be fitted with a visible grid system. The boards are aesthetically pleasing, with two different perforation patterns available in South Africa.

The boards, which are manufactured in Germany, are sup-plied with a specially designed acoustic black tissue that works with the perforations in the board to provide high sound absorption performance. This structure means that the ceiling boards can be maintained and painted with a mohair roller in the same way that any other ceiling would be, without compromising its effectiveness.

The two perforation patterns are both supplied in boards that are 12.5mm thick. Rigitone 12-20/66 features regular staggered perforations of 12mm and 20mm. It offers a noise-reduction co-efficient (NRC) of 0.90 at a plenum depth of 200mm, with the addition of glass wool insulation.

Rigitone 8-15-20 Super offers staggered perforations of 8mm, 15mm and 20mm. It offers a NRC of 0.70 at a plenum depth of 200m, with the addition of glass wool insulation. This board in particular is suited to extreme noise environments like indoor sports arenas.

Careful consideration should be given when specifying Rigitone in particularly humid environments, as excessive moisture could impact on its performance.

One of the defining features of the Moses Mabhida Sta-dium is the aluminum flat cladding that surrounds the base of the stadium, supplied by Hulamin Roofing Solu-tions (HRS).

Hulamin Roofing Solutions, in association with M.J. Cheater and HBI, was called on to develop a perforated façade cladding system which would provide a vertical cladding solution to comply with the aesthetic that archi-tects Osmond Lange were looking for. Of importance was the multi-functional capability of this form of solution as it needed to be able to withstand wind loads in excess of 2.6KPA, provide adequate cross ventilation as well as allow sufficient light into the structure. In addition, the cladding sheets had to be tapered to accommodate the design of the building.

Horsepower warningGoscor Power Products (GPP) MD, Michael Faber says that it is criti-cal for consumers to make sure they are purchasing the correctly powered engine for the particular application.

Michael says that if his company advertises a 13.5hp or 25hp Robin Subaru engine, it is true to its word about the specs. “We encourage our customers to be vigilant and check very carefully the actual horsepower output of engines that they are about to purchase,” he says.

Engine power and torque output is extremely important as an under-powered engine on a specific application can result in the product not being able to deliver on its claims. On a generator for example, this can lead to damage to the appliances being run, as well as damage to the generator itself.

HRS’s latest technology, Ziptech Standing Seam Roofing and Cladding System proved to be the answer. It has the strength to withstand the predicted maximum wind loads and dynamic rakking and warping of the structure without detaching, even though the pans were to be perforated with an open area of 58%. The wide pans and the 68mm high ribs complemented the +-500mm deep aluminium fins which formed part of the cladding system. The perforated surface provided the mandatory ventilation and transparency and in addition reduced the positive load on the building, allowing the engineers to make savings in the structural concrete and steelwork.

News & ViewsNew structural tube steel launchedThe Association of Steel Tube and Pipe Manufacturers of South Africa (ASTPM) and the Southern African Institute of Steel Construction (SAISC) are pleased to announce the launch of grade S355 steel for structural tube. The new grade, which replaces the previous 300 standard, has been designed using international best practice and complies with the minimum standard based on EN10219 Part 1.

“This will make a significant difference to the structural steel tube industry as, for the same amount of steel as the previous 300 standard, higher loads can now be resisted,” says ASTPM executive director, Colin Shaw. “This will render steel tube much more competitive against both other steel profiles and other construction methods like reinforced concrete.”

SAISC executive director, Dr Hennie de Clercq, says that S355 will help considerably in the process of encouraging architects and engineers to, inter alia, build high-rise structures in steel rather than concrete. “We will be pro-moting strongly the advantages of tubular steel and steel in general for these structures,” says Hennie.

ASTPM’s Technical Committee chairman, Franco Mordini believes that the new grade will help tubular steel become even more recognised for its inherent ad-vantages. “Apart from its widely acclaimed aesthetic properties, it is becoming increasingly accepted that closed tubular sections, when concentrically loaded in compression, offer considerable savings to structures. Also, tube is inherently the most efficient form for resisting torsion loads, which may also be applied during the fabrication and erection processes,” says Franco. “Importantly, tube does not have a weak axis and the steel is optimally distributed”

tially the last – there is no continual upkeep to plastering and painting, while clay face brick’s durability in the tough coastal environment has been long upheld,” says Mike.

His comments come as the national brick manufacturer opened its doors to the Salt Rock Corobrik Centre to facilitate the demand from customers living and working on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast. The centre offers the widest range of locally-produced clay face bricks and pavers.

A large range of concrete retaining blocks is also stocked. Concrete retaining blocks have shown their mettle in stabilising banks and, once planted, are hidden amid greenery and natural beauty. The range includes alternates that lend themselves to both DIY and major engineering applications.

LED display signageToday’s cutting edge designs blend awe-inspiring LED dis-plays into an environment, transforming ordinary structures into full-motion video display landmarks, guaranteed to make an unmatched impression.

The Coca-Cola spectacular in Times Square, New York, is a dazzling example. An innovative three-dimensional Prostar LED display incorporating 32 curved sections, it resembles a deconstructed beverage can. It is six storeys high, weighing 30 tons and incorporating 2.6 million individual LEDs..

Such feats are made pos-sible through new technology from Daktronics, a supplier of LED video products and control systems. Daktronics’ ProPixel freeform puck and stick elements, together with a flexible mounting platform, allow architects to integrate an unparalleled digital experience into media façades, splash co-lour and motion across domes and unconventional shapes, or wrap content around structures of any shape or size.

Unlike anything possible with traditional signage, the LED displays, featuring perfectly placed effects, animation or video, instill drama and ex-citement to create the ‘wow factor’ demanded in cutting edge architecture.

Pieter Fourie, CEO of Sephaku Cement, says the arranging mandate with Nedbank Capital paves the way for funding the construction of the company’s cement plant in the North West Province (The Aganang Project) and the cement milling plant in Mpumalanga (The Delmas Project).

This important milestone comes in the wake of a number of significant achievements since the company was founded in 2004, says Fourie. “In March 2009 we entered into a full turnkey agreement for both the Aganang and Delmas Projects with Sinoma International Engineering Company of Beijing, China, the largest supplier of cement plants worldwide, on a fixed price basis. Five months later we completed the commissioning of a state-of-the-art 1.2 million ton Fly Ash beneficiation plant at the Kendal Power Station in Mpumalanga.”

Prefab bathroom pods Vitrex Eurosan baths form an integral part of the prefabri-cated bathrooms installed in the new 5-star Radisson Blu SAS Hotel in Sandton. The prefab bathroom pods are the first of their kind produced in Africa.

Grant Vollmer, sales manager for the Vitrex Eurosan range, says the ‘Nueva Europa’ Eurosan white, enamelled steel baths were supplied in 1700 x 700mm dimensions to Exquisite Pods (formerly Swiftpod SA).

An Exquisite Pod is a light-weight self-supporting bath-room cell consisting of dry walling, ceiling, and floor supplied as a compact or modular construction system. The sanitary fixtures and fittings are ready-fitted on acceptance on site.

“Prefabricated bathrooms al-low for faster construction by reducing the need for skilled labour on site. The system provides valuable time and cost savings over traditional bathroom building methods,” Grant states.

“The Eurosan bath surfaces are resistant to abrasion, and impervious to water and common chemicals so will not warp, deteriorate or discolour with time,” Grant adds. “Eu-rosan baths, furthermore, are durable, non-combustible, and

Underlays pass VOC tests100% recycled underlays from Belgotex Floorcoverings have passed the stringent tests for VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions with flying colours.

All three underlays (Blue, Orange and Green) meet the strict requirements of the Green Building Council of SA (GBCSA) and the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) for Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ13) in terms of the VOC emissions, which is a direct requirement for carpeting and underlay.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) such as Phenylcy-clohexene affect the indoor air quality. However, research has proven that new carpet is one of the lowest emitters of VOC’s in the home and office environment.

Both Blue and Orange underlays tested well below the GBCSA Green Star criteria for both total VOC emission and Phenylcyclohexene rates. Blue undercushion is recom-mended beneath Nexus broadloom or modular carpet tiles for improved sound and thermal insulation in corporate environments such as boardrooms, conference venues and offices. Orange undercushion, used in residential instal-

tial Development Division (IRDev), says the memorandum of understanding with the provincial government puts into more tangible form the growing cooperation between public and private sectors in addressing a growing housing gap.

“The development of good quality projects for this market is important not only for government but also for business because this is the segment that is the bedrock of the economy,” says Kevin.

He adds the KZN provincial government is able to help the private sector identify appropriate projects and speed up processes for approving plans and obtaining government funding. Kevin says the memorandum of understanding will help Standard Bank ensure that it is pursuing af-fordable housing projects in accordance with government strategies.

lations, improves vacuum efficiency by absorbing dust and allergens and extends the service life of the carpet by providing better underfoot cushioning.

The Green underlay’s total VOC emission was even lower than those of Blue and Orange, meaning that emissions from all Belgotex underlays are negligible and not considered harmful to indoor environmental quality. Green underlay was developed in an effort to use post-industrial waste and is made from 100% recycled fibres and/or yarns from the Belgotex factory.

Maintaining Nigeria’s fixed

assetsWSP Facilities Management’s

Hamish McLennan, says that Nigeria is a key player in the international oil

industry. The country has seen enormous growth over the past few years. It also has a

rapidly evolving telecommunications market and a highly developed financial services sector, all of

which have premises in the major centres. Hamish adds, “There is increasing emphasis on maintaining

fixed assets and that is just one of the offerings that WSP Facilities Management has in its portfolio.

“We would like to expand our servic-es beyond mainte-nance management and our intention is to make available a wider range of standalone prod-ucts, while also offering a turnkey ser vice where there is demand for it.”

Hamish adds, “WSP is very

well established in Nigeria, we have a good presence in Lagos and are well respected in a country where there is just not enough capacity to deliver on the number of development projects that are planned for the region. As an international brand, WSP has a reputation for delivering projects on

time and within budget.”
