Installation of thermal insulation around electrical equipment and accessories

This cautionary notice provides information to employers, workers and contractors regard-ing electrical safety issues when installing thermal insulation.

SANS 10400-XA Energy usage in buildings will be promulgated soon and one of the energy efficiency interventions which will become mandatory is the installation of thermal insulation in buildings.

Thermal insulation installers are required to take additional electrical safety measures to protect themselves and home/building owners.

When installing ceiling insulation, one must prevent or minimise the associated health and safety risks.

For example:

• serious electric shocks or burns caused bycontact with:

o defective electrical cables — eg, perished or rodent-damaged

o exposed terminals or conductors of electrical equipment in the ceiling space — eg, behind light fittings, fans, etc.

o electrical cables damaged while installing insulation materials — eg, by cutting, piercing, nailing or stapling into electrical cables, and

o aluminium foil insulation which has become energised through contact between the foil and a source of electricity.

• fireresultingfrominsulationmaterialinstallednear recessed lights (in particular halogen down lights) and accessories without suitable clearances/barriers in place

• the safe operating temperature of electricalcables may be affected when surrounded by ther-mal insulation material — advice regarding such

de-rating of electrical cables may be obtained from a person with specialist expertise such as a licensed electrical contractor

• insulationcontainingsyntheticmineralfibres—rockwool, glass wool and other fibres or dust can irritate the skin, eyes and upper respiratory tract

• hazardoussubstances—eg,asbestos,pesti-cides, chemicals or lead

• heatandhumidity—theseandotherfactorscan cause heat stress

• vermin or insects in the ceiling cavity or inuntreated or damp insulation

• nonfire-retardantinsulation

• accessingandtraversingtheroofcavity,trippingover debris, material and tools

• workingatheight

• inadequatelighting.

Prior to installationIf you’re an employer or self-employed person, you should prevent or minimise health and safety risks associated with installing ceiling insulation by doing a proper risk management assessment. The risk management measures must include those to avoid damaging electrical equipment/cables when installing conductive material like aluminium foil insulation products, and also to avoid overheating electrical fittings by smothering them with bulk thermal insulation.

Recessed luminaires and incorrect instal-lation of bulk thermal insulation around electrical equipment and accessoriesRecessed luminaires and their auxiliary equip-ment shall be installed in a manner designed to minimise temperature rise and prevent the risk of fire. The temperature rise at the rear of a recessed luminaire shall be limited to prevent damage to adjacent materials.

This requirement shall be satisfied by one of the following methods:a) The use of a luminaire specifically designed and certified by the manufacturer to permit—

We draw our reader’s attention to the following important Cautionary Notice in respect of thermal insulation

COMPELLING REASONS TO SPECIFY EPS!

P. O. Box 7861 Halfway House, 1685 t: 011 805 5002; f: 011 805 5033;

e: [email protected]

When it comes to insulation, here are 10 good reasons for using EPS

1. Over the past six decades, EPS has become accepted world-wide as the safe, economical and energy-saving form of building insulation.

2. EPS is compatible with cement, concrete, brick, masonry, mortars, plaster and bitumen-based damp-proof membranes.

3. EPS is lightweight and easy to work with, being supplied in moulded forms to required shape and size, or as large blocks for cutting into sheets and shapes.

4. EPS is moisture-resistant and retains its thermal properties.

5. EPS is rot-proof and durable. Correctly installed, EPS remains effective as a thermal insulation product for the duration of a building.

6. EPS is fi re-retardant. styFReneTM (Type FR) contains a fl ame-retarding additive.

7. EPS is energy-saving and helps conserve energy usage in other areas such as electrical heaters and open fi res.

8. EPS is environment-friendly, consisting of organic materials (primarily carbon and hydrogen) making it one of the most ecologically harmless products. It contains no CFCs and does not damage the ozone layer.

9. EPS is easily disposable. Correctly incinerated, 100kg of EPS polystyrene leaves just 0,01kg of

ash, and the gases emitted are non-toxic.

10. EPS is recyclable.

Whichever way you look at effi cient insulation, EPS scores

ten out of ten.

i. contact with combustible materials; or

ii. enclosure or covering by thermal insulation material, as appropriate to the location of the luminaire.

b) Installation of the luminaire within a suitable fire-resistant enclosure.

c) Provision of required clearances from combus-tible and thermal insulating material as specified by the manufacturer of the luminaire.

d) Provision of the default clearances from combus-tible and thermal insulating material as specified in the sketch below.

Where manufacturer’s installation instructions that specify required clearances are not available, the luminaire shall be installed in accordance with (b) or (d).

NOTE: In the case of a suitably designed luminaire, the installation instructions may specify that no clearance is required.

Recessed luminaires and their auxiliary equipment shall be installed in such a manner that neces-sary cooling air movement through or around the luminaire is not impaired by thermal insulation or other material.

Where thermal insulation is of a type that is not fixed in position, eg, loose fill, a barrier or guard constructed of fire-resistant material shall be provided and secured in position to maintain the

necessary clearance (see sketch below).

Where thermal insulation may reasonably be ex-pected to be installed in the space containing a recessed luminaire, the luminaire shall be installed in such a manner as to provide for the subsequent installation of thermal insulation.

Recessed luminaires shall be installed in accor-dance with (a) or (b), or provided with equivalent protective measures, where there is a likelihood of extraneous combustible material, eg, leaves or vermin debris etc, collecting on or around the luminaire.

IMPORTANT NOTE: HEALTH & SAFETY REGULATIONIn terms of the Electrical Installation Regula-tions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHS Act), all electrical installation work shall be installed in accordance with the mandatory safety standards SANS 10142-1, also known as the Code of Practice for the wiring of premises.

COVER STORY

Trouble-free Double Glazing

As part of HBS’s ongoing product development program NuKlip now has a double glazing solution for shop-

fronts, galaxy sliding door, Foldaway door and Vista fold door.

NuKlip double glazing complies, and in many aspects, exceeds the double glazing requirements published by AAAMSA in 2008. The regulation is that the minimum

bite on the glass must be 15mm where the NuKlip

lip provides a 25mm bite, which ensures that there is sufficient space between the glass and frame thereby preventing undue cracking.

Highlights• A rebate adaptor provides the necessary glass

rebates to the existing range of “D” mullions which means that NuKlip can now accom-modate up to 26mm of glazing thickness.

• A heavy duty sash that also incorporates the optional use of espagnolette handles which means that NuKlip can cater for large vents.

• A series of 85mm door profiles which means that the NuKlip door profiles are as compliant as the frame and sash profiles.

These modifications have taken into account all the standard NuKlip hardware and accessories currently supplied by Hulamin Building Systems to ensure a trouble-free transition to double glazing.

PRACTICE PROFILE

Lessons Learned in the BushSome buildings are green in terms of their energy

efficiency, which is an important achievement.

However, some are also green because of the

philosophies of their designers, and often these

are the most successful within their surroundings.

When “Architect & Specifica-tor” visits Nick Plewman and Julia Williams at Nicholas Plewman Architects, the

pair seem surprised when we ask them if they’re specialists in game resorts. “Game reserves have been a feature in our portfolio,” admits Nick, “but it’s not the only work we do.”

Driving designHowever, he adds that the lessons learned work-ing on bush resorts have certainly driven their practice towards the design of green buildings. “The remoteness of these sites has taught us about green building and technology which we can bring to bear on urban buildings,” he explains, smiling. “We understand how to build in Africa. But it’s not about rusticity; we build sophisticated buildings in remote areas, which requires a sound grip on technology.”

Julia agrees, adding that since they prefer to allow buildings to take on the personality of the surround-ing environment, rustic elements such as timber and thatch may be evident, but not always. This is

clearly the case in the industrial design of ‘Toulon House’, situated in the Sabi Sands.

“It speaks fundamentally to disengaging from pre-conceptions in bush buildings, while sticking to our design principles,” Nick elaborates. “Although it’s constructed from steel and glass it vanishes into the environment more than thatch would, because it’s what the space asked for.”

Outdoor luxury“The most challenging issue is making an essentially outdoor lifestyle feel luxurious,” Julia says. “It’s not quite camping, but the proximity of the envi-ronment puts the occupant close to nature, which may not always be comfortable.” The company’s Xaranna Tented Camp shows this to good effect, literally turning tents into luxury accommodation in the Okavango Delta.

“We try to convey a sense of immersion without fear, discomfort or exposure to the elements. We want to get away from air conditioning and the

like, but still need to resolve comfort issues without impacting ambience. Many visitors to these resorts are well-travelled and have seen it all. It’s our job to provide a new experience that is exciting and original while ensuring that the guest is absolutely pampered,” she tells us.

Complicated process“There’s a lot involved in the process,” Nick elabo-rates. “You have to consider privacy, the view, the sexiness of the room, the relationship between the bedroom and the bathroom. And yet you still need to create a frisson between the occupant and the environment that is visual and sensory.

“Ideally, the room should become a microcosm of the surrounding area. Whether it’s in the mountains, a forest or overlooking the ocean, it should reflect this. The same principle applies to the rest of the building, whether it involves a dining or swimming experience,” he continues.

When we ask how the team would address an urban environment, both are adamant that the same approach would be applied. “You have to im-merse yourself, conduct a thorough investigation of the environment then apply what it calls for,” Nick assures us. “A city has a personality, and this should be reflected too.

Personal process“It’s a very personal process, with collaboration between the architect, developer, interior designer, as well as the site itself. We create the vi-sion and a cross-fertilisation of ideas, but in a carefully considered space.

All aspects need to be subtle, which is why we believe that interior design should be brought in very early.”

Here he touches upon a personal pet peeve: “Too much design is based around 1.5m of cupboard space,” he laughs, explaining that many hotel chains are more concerned with the dimensions of their rooms than the aesthetics. “You can’t apply exactly the same style to every building in

your chain without abandoning the character of the cityscape,” he says, eschewing the concept of cookie-cutter architecture. “You have to understand the notion of a location’s USP.”Julia concurs: “In Arusha we had coffee plantations running through the buildings,” she smiles, referring to the Arusha Coffee Lodge in Tanzania.

The duo concludes by emphasising the importance of effortless aesthetics. “Spaces work when you feel comfortable and at home in them,” says Nick. “Great architecture should be invisible; it should make a statement about the area it’s in but not

House Toulon shows the use of steel and glass within a rustic environment

about itself. Of course this will also be influenced by the purpose of the structure. A bank must look secure and a prison should look like a prison. But ultimately, we aim to adhere to our primary goal, which is to pare down the envelope between the individual and the environment.”

COMMERCIAL TRENDS

Commercial developments don’t often earn recognition for their aesthetic value, but a growing number of investors would like to see this change.

When “Architect &Specifica-tor” speaks to Jürgen Erhart

of Efcon Capital, one of the companies behind the new Lanseria Corporate Estate, we find him to be passionate about the social and environmental impact of the work he does.

“We were determined to produce a top quality com-mercial industrial estate,

not just cut up the land,sell it and walk away. I want to create something of beauty that will attract top quality tenants who share our ethical values.

We intend to house our own developments there and we wouldn’t accept any less, so why should our buyers?”

Covering 90 hectares, the estate will house 160 stands zoned for offices and warehousing adjacent to Lanseria Airport, a rapidly growing transport hub.

Green lungAfter some consideration, the team decided to include a ‘green lung’into the Estate, incorporating the road system. “We have 6 000 square metres less property to sell because we have included one and a half kilometres of Green Island in the boulevard,” says Jürgen.

The design incorporates a security boundary that will chew up an additional 12 500m2 of valuable land. “We’re setting up a two and a half square metre ‘dead man’s zone’ around the property that will be used for a perimeter security system that will rival the best in the world. It also means that fences won’t be necessary at the road side within the site, which will further enhance aesthetics.”

While he’s nonchalant about the figures, the space used for greening and security amounts to between R10 and R20 million worth of profit. “Not every estate would do this because they look at the bot-tom line, but I believe that we will make it up in the long term,” he assures us.

The space used for greening and security amounts to between R10 and R20 million worth of profit

Using South African specifications regarding the absorption of carbon by trees, the 78.73 tonne per year carbon emissions from the estate’s an-nual activities will be negated by the 96 tonnes per year of carbon dioxide sequestrated by the lush landscaping.

“This is after taking into account the likely 272-tonne carbon content of the grassland typifying the area before development,” Jürgen explains.

Bright ideasLighting accounts for some 55% of the estate’s footprint, so as many bright ideas as possible are being exploited and various street lighting strategies keep both environmental and financial costs down.

Of course, natural lighting is to be used extensively throughout the buildings because it is freely avail-able and innately ecocentric, and also because it’s good for the soul, and has been shown to improve both the wellbeing and productivity of employees.

Overall, the Turner & Townsend report estimates the positive change in albedo brought about by the estate will not only substantially reduce its cooling requirement, with a reduction in its air-conditioning needs and the resultant lower emissions, but will equate to offsetting an equivalent of 2 970 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

SustainabilityClearly Jürgen is determined to go the extra mile in terms of making Lanseria Corporate Estate as sustainable as possible. “I asked myself: ‘What can we do, as township developers from a sustain-ability perspective?’ Our sewerage plant, which we are developing in association with the Lanseria Airport, fits this bill.”

The new WWTW is one of the plants in Gauteng that complies with City of Johannesburg’s new and extensive waste water management regula-tions. In addition to many other advantages, this green awareness solution sees treated domestic sewage being re-used to irrigate both the airport and Lanseria Corporate Estate, reducing demand on otherwise potable water supplies.

The joint waste water treatment project started when the original ponds that received waste water across the greater Lanseria International Airport area required relocation due to runway expansion requirements, effluent requirements and current capacity limitations. At the same time, the estate was in the planning stages.

“This presented an ideal opportunity to maximise synergies and create a world-class waste water treatment solution that would benefit both the airport and us,” says Jürgen. “Given our commit-ment to safeguarding the environment, we also felt strongly that this was a sustainable option

Not like running through Kya Sands or Strijdom Park

Lanseria nodeIndependent research by property information specialists, Lightstone, shows that sales of stands and homes are active at top estates in the Lanseria area, such as Monaghan Farm Estates and Blair Atholl.

“We had a robust 2010 with demand and uptake noticeably increasing over the past 14 months,” says Robbie Kreser of the Monaghan Farm Homeowners Association.”Over a dozen new properties have been registered. There is keen interest being expressed with increasing consumer confidence driving demand.”

Another upmarket suburb in Lanseria is Lindley, where research by Lightstone shows good sales activity. Lindley falls under Mogale City municipality and average residential valuations in this suburb are at R3,6 million. Blair Atholl, a premium estate in the heart of Lanseria, is one of the country's most sought after. Its clubhouse and golf course has been dubbed South Africa's 'Augusta'. “Despite the worst property recession globally, we've had satisfactory growth over the last couple of years,” says founder and developer, Robby Wray.

“Although sales in 2009 and 2010 were considerably damp-ened, total sales were in excess of R60 million and R75 million respectively. Into 2011, sales are already over R50 million; showing a positive move upwards,” says Robby. While stand prices three years ago averaged R2,4 million, this has increased to over R3 million. Completed homes and residences grew from 14 in January 2009 to 64 in December 2010. The average sales value for houses sold is in the R12 million mark.

Robbie maintains that the Lanseria node is unique. Sandton and 15-minutes from Fourways, the recently upgraded R512 provides excellent access to other areas such as Randburg, Krugersdorp, Magaliesburg and Johannesburg's northern suburbs.

It is conveniently located near the Lanseria airport which has enjoyed considerable growth. A significant 1-million passengers passed through the airport in 2010 alone, with this figure expected to increase to 2-million in 2011. In line with these projections, the airport's expansion plans include improved terminal facilities, runways and the building of an international standard hotel.

that would serve longer-term interests.”

Waste water specialists Tecroveer were approached to develop the best solution to meet Johannesburg Water’s specifications and other future require-ments. This resulted in a dedicated mechanical, biological waste water application, implemented over three phases. The consultant appointed was

Virtual Buro, the civil contractor Infracore, while the process design, civil geometrical design and mechanical equipment were provided by Tecroveer.

Based on the world-wide accepted activated sludge principle, the biological process includes key technology features that deliver an efficient and cost effective solution to reduce organic carbon and nitrogen compounds to environmentally ac-ceptable levels. This helps to further protect the surrounding environment.

Designed to reduce use of municipal water, the plant will recycle water for use in a grey water system and for irriga-tion. “For instance, a large quantity will be utilised for flushing toilets since they are a major consumer of wa-ter,” Jürgen elaborates.

Setting boundariesOther quality controls take the form of guide-lines for residents when designing their offices. “We’ve stipulated a number of requirements for parking areas, po-sitioning of offices and warehousing, etc,” he continues. Although owners will have a fair amount of architec-tural freedom, there are guidelines for colour schemes, windows, roof lines and a variety of ‘green’ elements. Plans will also be as-sessed to determine sustainability prior to approval.

“When it comes to sustainability, so much is in the planning,” he emphasises. “Retrofit-ting is complicated by existing structures,

differences of opinion, different agendas. It’s also costly. But if the plans are viewed and directed correctly from the start it makes a huge difference. We have to think about heating and lighting and the positioning of the windows and overhang among other things which are not always a priority under normal circumstances. All these elements work cohesively if you put the plans together to start with.”

He admits that they’ve also taken human nature into consideration. “We will maintain the development in terms of irrigation and landscaping because if you are surrounded by beauty you want to rise to the occasion. We want to create a sense of being in a park; an environment that’s a pleasure to be in. So far, all buyers have accepted our stipulations wholeheartedly – I’d like to think it’s because they share our vision.”

Added benefitsJürgen goes on to say that these details will have significant benefits for residents of the Business

Park. “It will definitely affect people’s working life because they will arrive in a beautiful place to go to work,” he smiles. “There will be parks to enjoy lunch and breaks, and we’re hoping to include a soccer field. You’ll be able to jog in a lovely, well-maintained and secure environment during lunch – not like running through Kya Sands or Strijdom Park.” With studies showing that psy-chological wellbeing can reduce absenteeism by 30%, the benefits should encourage companies to embrace such humanitarian principles.

Another important consideration is that the neigh-bouring Lanseria Airport will have flights over the estate daily. “Visitors to Johannesburg will fly over us when they arrive in the city – we’ll be a visual ambassador of the area.” He is equally aware of the need to consider the proximity of the Cradle of Humankind, a popular tourist destination. “We’re in an excellent loca-tion,” he says. “But that also leaves us with the responsibility of reflecting these areas in a positive light. I don’t want to drive past here one day and be ashamed to have been part of it.”

Of course, like all good designers, Jürgen can’t wait for his dream to become a reality. “Owners are starting to build now and things are getting more and more active.Our vision is starting to be-

come visible and taking shape. It doesn’t happen overnight although I wish it could,” he says. Like any smart investor, Jürgen is well aware that all good things come to those who wait.

A lthough we started in the industry doing straightforward domestic and commercial window cleaning, we’ve developed along the way, specialis-

ing in cleaning at height, but also cleaning of facades and carpeting in offices,” he continues.

From the groundUsing a water-fed pole system that’s relatively new to South Africa, although it has a 30-year history in the States, the team is able to clean windows up to five storeys high from the outside and from the ground. Tom tells us that clean-ing from the ground is suitable for South Africa since so many companies do not comply with health & safety regulations. “It’s not uncom-mon to see guys hanging off ladders at great height,” he says.

High Clean Window’s system uses purified, distilled water pumped up a pole to the window surface. When agitated upon a surface, purified water will absorb dirt, leaving windows cleaner than when using detergent.

“Detergents have the additional disadvantage of leaving a residue on the surface, which will later attract dirt, causing the windows to become dirtier sooner,” Tom explains. He adds that purified water is used because the mineral content in ordinary tap water will leave a milky film on the surface that you can actually write your name in.

When “Architect &Specificator” meets Tom Binns to discuss the intricacies of washing windows at height, he laughingly tells us that they’d consid-ered using a Disney theme for their company but didn’t want to be sued for copyright infringement.

ants climbing around on the building,” he chuckles. “Obviously a project like this is complex and it costs money to make sure that the safety protocols are in place. Other companies might be prepared to cut costs by stinting on safety, but we won’t.”

Other cleaningIn addition to windows, High Clean also offers a high-pressure façade cleaning service. “A lot of buildings that were constructed a decade ago are starting to look shabby. What was once white is now green or grey. If you clean these surfaces regularly, you’ll also save window and door frames, and cut back on long-term maintenance costs.

Cleanliness is crucialWhile some may not think clean windows are a necessity, Tom begs to differ. “Cleanliness is vital in any environment, particularly where people work, or goods are stored,” he says emphatically. “Sick Building Syndrome” isn’t only about airconditioning. It’s also related to dirty buildings. Bird droppings are a major problem – they carry about 66 different diseases, most of which are respiratory!

“Smog is also a problem. Drive into any major city and you can literally see the air you’re about to breathe. This coats the surfaces of buildings, and results in sick staff and dirty products. Any building with goods standing for a length of time will accumulate dirt. Cleanliness is critical for food storage.

“It’s in a company’s best interests to keep facilities hygienic and healthy. Not only will it impact employee productivity, but it also has a positive effect on public image. We recently cleaned all the windows at the Fast n Fresh facility in Midrand. While the primary aim was hygiene, aesthetics played an important role.

“However, we often quote on an entire storage facility and find that the client will choose to clean only the office area and leave the ware-house. There are various reasons for this – many warehouses install perspex windows at height and these are difficult to clean.”

Tricky processTom prefers to assess a job prior to quoting since projects can vary greatly. When it comes to double and triple volume buildings, cleaning becomes more specialised. “A lot of people don’t realise that cleaning at height is a tricky process, and we don’t take shortcuts. Tasks that are simple at ground level become a different ball game when you’re five floors up.

“Sometimes people are astonished when we quote on cleaning windows or changing lightbulbs and it’s more than they expected. But they’re not taking into the account the procedures necessary to maintain the safety of our cleaners up there,” he explains. “Over five storeys, we need to implement a rope access system, which must adhere to strict health & safety regulations.

“We recently worked on a 20-storey building in the Jo’burg CBD using rope access. Our guys looked like Nothing’s too tall, or tricky to clean!

“Additionally, we’ve found that while many companies hire out high pressure equip-ment, not a lot of companies actually know how to use it. We provide this service, along with advice on correct application of specialised chemicals when necessary.”

Still on the topic of other cleaning services, Tom tells us that the company has a Builders’ Cleaning package designed to make new buildings fit for occupation. But by far the strangest project they’ve undertaken was the cleaning of a number of giant inflatable toys. “It was really just an experiment,” he grins. “Ultimately we found it was easier to deflate them, scrub them with brooms and then blow them up again. But it was good for a laugh!”

GLASS & GLAZING

A Glass and a Half…

One company which falls into the latter category is McCoy’s Glass, and when “Architect & Specificator” speaks to MD, Steve McCoy, he assures us that the

company plans to adhere to its long-held business model. “In the last two years, the glass industry has been through a considerable period of change and challenge, both on a macro-economic scale as well as within the industry in general. The AGI closure has had massive impact. Two years ago, AGI and PG had around 75% of the market and a large proportion of business was going through them. With the demise of AGI, a portion of the market has shifted to the ‘independents’.

“However at McCoy’s we’ve stuck to our game plan,” he continues. “Our sequence of priorities may have changed slightly but we are holding on to our mission of being a major buyer, seller and manufacturer of glass in South Africa. Importantly, we have no intention of doing this by diversifying into downstream business, even though the op-portunity regularly raises its head. We don’t believe

in competing with our customers, it’s against our code of ethics. Even under the pressure applied by the economy, we will not go into glazing, installing and retailing of glass.

Bigger isn’t better“One of the positive things about negative situa-tions is that tough times bring out people’s true colours,” Steve continues. “It is possibly for this reason that the industry has gone through a phase of low integrity. Many people have invented excuses to prevent timeous payment.”

He goes on to add that although growth is on the cards for the company, structures will remain streamlined. “If anything, the challenges have proven we can be a leader without being the biggest,” he smiles. “We believe we can do this through innovation, product development and setting an ethical example.”

Two examples come in the form of the annual glass exhibition, which McCoy’s founded in 2008, as well as the company’s glass handbook, “The Glass Guide”, which sets out to provide architects, specifiers and customers with comprehensive information on material specifications. “Although

The glass sector has seen some major changes recently, particularly with the demise of industry giant, AGI. The

development has caused ructions in the field, with many leaping in to fill the gap, while for others, it’s business as usual.


GLASS & GLAZING

the manual is printed by us and includes our branding, the information in it is generic and is relevant to the entire industry product range. We also publish a regular electronic newsletter called “Glass News Online” to keep the industry up to date with important news.”

Steve exhibits a strong sense of community when he talks about other glass businesses which at-tributes to his humble beginnings in the industry. “I started this company selling glass from the back seat of my car,” he laughs. “So I understand where many of our customers are coming from, because most of us had the same humble beginnings. This creates synergy because they know that I ‘get’ them.”

Real needsThis understanding has given Steve a useful insight into the real needs of the market, and one of the outcomes is evident in their new range of McLam Energy Saving Glass (ESG). “There is a huge demand for many of the performance products available abroad, but sometimes it’s simply not possible to produce them locally. We’ve been inves-tigating ways to bring them to our South African clients and ESG is one of the results of this endeavour,” he explains. Pioneered in collaboration with Pilkington Glass technical centre in the UK, ESG is the first local glass for some time to hold the Pilkington seal - a fact that gives Steve tremendous pride.

“Glass has come a long way,” he explains. “First we focused on the safety aspects, and now it’s all about energy efficiency. Obviously, double glazing is the Rolls Royce of the range when it comes to this, but let’s be frank; retrofitting buildings with double glazing isn’t normally a feasible solution to the energy issue. Consider the cost and time and inconvenience of ripping out every window in a building and replacing it with double glazing – it’s just not an option for most people.”

Hard-coatedMcCoy’s’ solution is a hard-coated low-E lami-nated glass that does not need to be used in a double-glazed unit. “Most glaziers will tell you that low-E coated glass only works as part of a double glazing solution, because if the coating is scratched, it’s no longer effective. Ours is not just another laminate,” he emphasises. “Our coating is

pyrolytic – it’s fired into the glass during the float manufacturing process. It is as hard as the glass surface, and as a result, can be used in single glazing without fear of it being damaged. In fact McCoy’s has produced the first 6.38 low-E laminate manufactured in South Africa.”

Clearly, a single sheet won’t have the same U-value as double glazing, which Steve acknowl-edges, but he adds that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. “You can achieve U-values of 1.9 with double-glazing, whereas we currently work around values of about 3.6 with our ESG,” he admits. “However, when you consider that we can retrofit a house in a day at a quarter of the

“For us, planning our next step is based on some basic questions: If it’s good for me and it’s good for you, and it’s generally good for mankind and the environment, then it’s normally a good idea and we back it! With ESG, I believe we’ve ticked all the right boxes.”

cost, while still achieving significant efficiency levels, it’s certainly worth thinking about. When ESG is incorporated into an SIGU we also achieve a U-Value of 1.9,” he adds.

Some pretty influential people are certainly thinking about the product. ESG has already been specified for a number of high-profile projects. Developers of the new Waterfall Eco Estate in Kyalami are recommending it to new buyers to reduce energy costs. “We are also marketing ESG to the end user but all the leads are being given to our customers. This means McCoy’s win, our customers win and the consumer wins – what a winning formula!” Steve enthuses.

Extreme testing“Winning the trademark on the term ‘Energy Saving Glass’ was a big deal for us,” he says. “We put a lot of effort into perfecting it; the testing process was extreme, which is why we used Pilkington. However we felt that it was important to get the materials right because ultimately we believe that this will become the African alternative to double glazing. I believe that South Africa deserves this sort of investment because I believe in this country and the people in it.

perspective.

rican division, he jumped at the opportunity. “I was young and looking for excitement,” he laughingly tells “Architect & Specificator”.

When he moved to South Africa the day before the 1994 elections, it was with the intention of intro-ducing Lisec’s sophisticated range of double glazing machinery. The market did not welcome him with open arms. “In the beginning, I was told to go back to Europe,” he chuckles again. “But I was convinced then, as I am now, that Africa needs this equipment.”

Chilly receptionThe introduction may have been reluctantly received, but within two years, the company had done a mil-lion dollar deal with a local company. “We’ve never looked back,” Afam assures us. The Lisec brand has spread across the continent, with offices in Egypt, Algeria as well as South Africa and more than 700 machines in use in Africa.

Where many believe that Africa can’t accommodate sophisticated machinery, Afam feels this is precisely what we need. “Our dream is to have machines in every African country because we believe conditions are available locally to sustain business,” he says emphatically. “We need to turn the focus away from import and the way to do this is to show people how to add value themselves, while providing the tools to do it. We don’t want to give clients the finished product; we want to help them make it. You can’t develop a society through importation.

Growing with the business“Our products are solid and they’re engineered to last. More importantly, they’re modular, so a small business can start with one section and add on as capacity and abilities increase. This allows small operators to get in at the bottom and grow. In some cases we even offer financing to boost the process.” Not only does Lisec supply a full range of specialised double glazing machinery, such as cutting tables, bending equipment and insulation production lines, but it has also recently introduced photovoltaic production systems.

“We offer solar machinery for anyone from small to large companies,” he says.“This glass technology incorporates the usual photovoltaic systems, as well as bent mirror options for concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. We’re the only people in world with tempering lines to manufacture 2mm glass.”

Sharing skillsLisec’s technical ability positions it perfectly to bring much-needed skills to the continent. “Often because of a lack of technical expertise in outlying areas, some architects aren’t aware of the capabilities of glass,” Afam adds.“Africa has a construction backlog of 200 million houses, which has a lot to do with a lack of knowledge.

“We’ve conducted seminars in Egypt, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa and we’ve had an amaz-ing response; many are keen to learn about the highly sophisticated nature of the material.We’re also planning a massive marketing exercise with key role players in the industry, but the details still need to be finalised,” he adds enigmatically.

Addicted to glassIf anyone is suited to the task of marketing glass, it’s Afam; the man oozes enthusiasm for the stuff. “Once you’ve worked with glass you become ad-dicted to it. It’s amazing,” he grins. “It can be a support system within a building, or a barrier between external and internal areas; it provides insulation, noise reduction and energy efficiency. It can be used in all sorts of architectural interiors such as shelves, floors, lighting systems or water features. It can be strong enough to walk on, or even stop a bullet. There’s so much more to it than windows.”

He’s also excited about the opportunities for energy efficiency offered by correct use of glass. “If you can reduce the amount of energy used by all South Africans, the social impact would be enormous,” he says.“Unfortunately energy is taken for granted

here, and many people don’t realise that it costs more to cool than to heat.We often think winter is more expensive in terms of energy consumption, but actually we have a long hot summer that puts tremendous strain on our resources because so few of our buildings are optimally constructed.

Energy ideas“Any energy efficient building saves money from day one. Overall thermal performance of a build-ing needs greater understanding from the entire industry not just glass. The construction sector is incredibly segmented – it could do with an umbrella organisation controlling all areas and we should be working together.

“Unfortunately that’s often not the case. In many instances it’s every man for himself and the results can be disastrous. For example, undeclared im-ports have had a major impact on us. The building industry reflects the economy of a country; when the building industry is down then everything is

down. And look at us, we’ve had huge companies closing shop.Where regulations are in place for the public good, this has a positive effect on industry which in turn creates jobs.”

Social benefitsAnother important benefit that is overlooked comes in the form of quality of life. Good insulation doesn’t only provide ambient comfort, but also protects against noise. “People think of double glazing as a high-end material but the benefits for low-cost housing could have significant economic implica-tions,” Afam explains.

“Apart from the energy savings accumulated by these millions of homes, think of the psychological benefits of minimizing exposure to the surrounding noise pollution – much of which might be due to crime or domestic violence!”

Afam is a passionate proponent of social reform as a means of improving the economy, and in his opinion the solution begins with teamwork. “Society seems more divided now than in ‘94,” he says. “With income disparities of 200%-300% between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have-nots’, it’s inevitable that crime will be an issue. When a man has nothing, he has nothing to lose.

DOORS & WINDOWS

Making an EntranceLike most professionals who are passionate about their

areas of expertise, André Aiton, MD of Assa Abloy Entrance Systems, is eager to convince us that there’s a lot more to

doors than simply providing a means of entering or exiting a building. And like most passionate professionals, he makes

a convincing argument.

When “Architect & Specificator” meets André at the company’s offices in Roodepoort, he presents us with an impressive selection of innovative

products as well as some challenging technical projects that required the company’s expertise to resolve. “We specialise in three main systems,” he begins. “These include sliding doors, which you see in entrances to shops, malls and casinos; swing doors, which are often found in hospitals or loca-tions with narrow passages; and finally revolving doors, which are considered to be the optimum solution when it comes to climate control.”

Core businessHe goes on to tell us that automated sliders form the core of the company’s business. These are growing increasingly popular as companies recognise the benefits of ensuring that doors remain closed to maintain internal temperatures. The correct door can amount to significant savings in air condition-ing. “You don’t drive with your window open and your air-con on, so why would a shopping centre do what amounts to the same thing?” André chuckles.

Automated swing doors often have applications in

medical centres where staff may need to open a door while pushing a gurney, requiring a hands-free system that doesn’t compromise security. Solutions here often include card swipe mechanisms and buttons that can easily be pushed with an elbow when necessary.

Hands-free systems can also have the advantage of added hygiene, and André tells us that they installed heat-sensitive panels beside automated doors in baby-care rooms in a mall north of Pietersburg. These allow parents to open the doors without touching any sort of mechanism, while a red light

on the panel indicates when the room is occupied, sealing the door for security. “Hygiene has become such a big issue that bathroom cleanliness can literally determine the success of a shopping centre,” he warns.

Revolving creditWhile he admits that the revolv-ing range occupies the upper end of the price bracket, André adds that these are invariably highly-specialised systems that meet very specific require-ments. “People often specify revolving doors to meet climatic needs,” he explains. “We find that they’re used in buildings in Cape Town where extreme winds make it necessary to protect interiors from outdoor conditions.”

This is evident in the new Tyger Valley Mall, where Assa Abloy was commissioned to install revolving doors to counter adverse weather conditions. However, similar motivations have driven other developers to make the same choice in areas such as Gauteng, for example. “We also installed a revolving door in the newly-renovated Bedford Centre in Bedfordview,” André continues. “The rest of the mall utilises normal sliding doors, but one particular corner was at the mercy of high wind speeds, which made shopping in that area unpleasant.”

Although the cost of a revolv-ing door and surrounding door area may initially be a considerable expense, many investors recognise that the price is justified by the fact that improved interior condi-tions will encourage shoppers to linger.

Entire entranceAndré adds that he is particu-larly proud of the outcome of the Bedford Centre entrance because it converted a previously unat-tractive area into something of a showpiece, which is what he considers to be their area of expertise. “This is what we’re good at,” he smiles, “we like to look at the entire entrance area and come up with a complete solution that meets all the needs of the building. For instance, how many occupants are accommodated, what are the fire requirements,

The Wits Gallery door weighs 1.9tons, is two storeys high and is fully glazed. Although it only opens once a day, it is designed to completely open up the front facade of the gallery

what sort of aluminium profile is required? There’s a lot to be considered.”

A good example comes in the form of the new Wits Gallery, which André tells us is a project he’s very excited about. “Here we’re looking at moving


www.prontormc.co.za

Improved interior conditions will encourage shoppers to linger

DOORS & WINDOWS

a door that weighs 1.9tons. It’s two storeys high and is fully glazed. Although it only opens once a day, it is designed to completely open up the front facade of the gallery to accommodate the sense of spaciousness of the architecture.”

Working togetherIn many instances, Assa Abloy’s team will work in conjunction with the architectural and door design teams to produce a result that is cohesive with the overall aesthetic of the building. “When we worked on the new Brits hospital, we operated in conjunction with Centurion Glass to provide a solution that complemented the design of the glass facade,” he says.

“In cases such as this, the contractor handling the entrance will provide us with technical drawings which we send to our engineers so that they can manufacture a product to meet these needs. From there, we simply provided the automation. In many other instances, however, we will work with the client directly, designing and manufacturing the whole solution.”

Mass exodusThis approach is currently being applied to a proj-ect for OR Tambo, which is looking into installing a revolving door to manage wind tunnel effects in one of its reception areas. “Here we have the added complication of needing to ensure safety in the event of emergency evacuation,” André empha-sises. “We’re testing the system to provide figures on how the doors would impact speed of exit.”

The concept is not new to designers at Assa Abloy who have engineered a number of products that can either operate as conventional automated doors,

or be easily opened fully to either permit mass exodus of occupants, or allow movement of large items such as boats or vehicles into display areas.

Besam programmeAndré adds that ultimately, the company prefers to establish personal relationships with the end-users of their products since this allows them to ensure optimum operation for the long-term. “Our business developers in Sweden recently initiated our ‘Besam Pro-Active Care’ programme,” he tells us. “This is a service package, much like the type normally associated with vehicle maintenance, in which the client buys an ongoing maintenance contract to cover routine care.”

With contracts starting at reasonable rates, clients can expect two annual services, discounted spares, faster maintenance and discounts on ad hoc re-pairs. “It’s part of our effort to stay in touch with the needs of the building owners, who receive the additional benefit of being able to purchase their products directly from us without the additional mark-up imposed by various middlemen,” André explains.

“There’s a lot more to doors than simply offering a way to walk into a building,” he ends off. “They address energy consumption, aesthetics, safety and security. With all this in mind, can you really afford to leave them in the hands of the uninitiated?”

WALLS & FLOORS

When “Architect & Specificator” speaks to Mike Todd at Ifuba Products recently, he introduces us to a range of acoustic insulation products that would have

the most uncompromising interior designer beam-ing with delight. “We hold the African distribution rights to manufacture and supply a range of Hufcor Operable Acoustic Partitions and Operable Glass-walls that are available in various configurations for different applications,” he tells us.

A Sound SolutionMany companies think of acoustic insulation as a highly technical process involving unsightly materials and inflexible installation. While technical aspects certainly require expert assistance, the rest of the

preconception is no longer applicable.

Sound dampeningMade of solid panels that can be up to 16 feet high, the system can dampen sound according to a number of requirements, making them ideal in applications such as conference rooms, churches, schools and offices. “The panels can be made with Sound Transmission Class (STC) Ratings from 25 to 55 d/B,” Mike explains, saying that selection of the d/B rating depends on the level of noise that needs to be controlled in the building.

“A 25 STC wall allows speech to be heard clearly on either side, a 44 STC wall muffles loud speech, while at 55 STC, even loud shouting is inaudible. Nothing is completely soundproof, other than possibly recording studio installations, but these don’t have the advantage of being mobile anyway. Obviously flanking paths need to be considered when it comes to sound separation.

World record“Our clients include a number of high profile com-panies such as Liberty Life, Unilever, The Hyatt, BOE and the Church of the Latter Day Saints,” says Mike, adding that a recent project in the Cape Quarter Development in Cape Town is the longest-running top hung operable glass wall installed in the world. At a total of 755 running linear metres, it provides a totally free trading zone without tracks or other obstacles. “It’s a world record and we’re very proud of it,” he smiles.

boards, and pocket doors to hide storage areas. All are designed to blend into the panels and avoid seams or gaps for sound to pass through.

“There’s no need for an acoustic partition to be an eyesore,” Mike finishes. “When in operation, it occupies a substantial area in a room and it should be incorporated into the design process.”

Pass doors can be added to panels without interfering with acoustics or aesthetics – Liberty Life

the longest running top hung operable glass wall installed in the world

The Aurecon building in Pretoria also used Hufcor Glasswall in their green design. “It’s very functional and energy efficient,” Mike adds.

Unlimited creativity The frameless, top hung panels can be specified in a multitude of materials to suit almost any environment. “We can provide panels using laminates, paints, wall paper, paint techniques, graphics, glass; virtually anything,” Mike enthuses. “The outcomes are very exciting which is one of the reasons we just love it.”

Other reasons include easy mainte-nance and operation, with a two-year warranty that Mike assures us the company is not afraid to back up. “All manufacturing is done in our factory,” he tells us. “Panels are suspended from tracks in the ceiling which are designed according to the engineer’s specifications. The track is put in position before the ceiling is installed to ensure clean lines.”

Installation requires technical expertise to comply with regulations associated with load-bearing re-quirements, however the aesthetics of the product make the extra effort worthwhile. “The panels can be stacked into walls, hidden in pockets or aligned with perimeter walls. We can make them disappear,” Mike laughs.

Wrapping up the installation is a selection of system accessories that are a functional add-on, ie, the pass doors, work surfaces such as chalk or pin

INSULATION

Business as Usual

The recent acquisition of Nampak’s Laminated & Coated Products division by local packaging specialist, Afripack,

combines the forces of two solid industry leaders to create a formidable player in the field of industrial packaging and insulation.

When “Architect & Specificator ” re-cently meets with Rob Francois, GM

at the newly-created Afripack Coatings Division, he assures us that the ‘going concern’ acquisition by Afripack means that there is business continu-ity for the Coatings Division in Isithebe, and the manufacture and distribution of all current products, including their well-known Sisalation brand, will continue.

“Afripack acquired Nampak L&CP as a going concern with all the asset and employees, on 1 April this year,” he explains. “This

means that we will continue running as normal and producing the products we’ve specialised in for the past 30 years.” Rob was previously MD at the Nampak division, and he and his team bring with them many years of experience in running the operation.

Solid foundationAfripack Pty Ltd is jointly owned by Nozala (an Investment company predominantly headed up by black african women), Pretoria Portland Ce-ment, and management. Having started business way back in the 1930s producing paper sacks for packaging many varied products such as cement, potatoes, sugar, charcoal, and milling products, Afripack has recently made significant acquisitions to incorporate related packaging products in the area of consumer flexible and industrial composite laminations.

“The company has for many years had its own coatings business based in Mobeni focusing mainly on products for the paper, furniture, and steel industry. The acquisition of L&CP allows Afripack to combine its expertise, capability, and knowledge with that of L&CP, and in so doing cre-ate a business of coating excellence focused on

delivering solutions to the customers and markets it services. The name Sisalation has been around for more than three decades in the South African building industry and is synonomous with quality, innovation, and reliability. Sisalation has in many respects become a generic term for many different types of foil-based insulation membranes.”

Hot topicWith the changing legislation on fire retardants drawing much attention recently, the acquisition is proving to be a timeous move. Rob tells us that the company will be adding two new offerings for this sector within the next month.

“We’ll be introducing upgrades to our existing products, namely the FR405 and FR430,” he explains. “Although clients will already recognise these names, we have redesigned the products to be more focused on meeting the new fire legislation requirements while being more cost-effective to manufacture. In addition, we will launch a product aimed at the residential insulation market, and this should compete suitably with current products in that sector.”

Strong tiesHe adds that the company has strong ties with Mondi Coatings & Consumer Packaging in Europe, who are able to provide intellectual capacity at the highest technological levels. “We have a close association with Mondi Coatings & Con-sumer Packaging from a marketing and technical perspective,” Rob says. “This provides us with access to the latest technology on coatings and

laminations from Europe. “Their teams are very advanced and plans are afoot to assist us in developing additional products in future. These products will be aligned with the requirements of our South African legislation and customer expectations.”

The Mondi involvement is at various levels covering products, equipment capability, as well as strategic partnership.

Working togetherAccording to Rob, the new working arrangement between the coatings plants in Isithebe and Mobeni, and Mondi Coatings & Consumer Packaging, should be a mutually beneficial one for all concerned. “We expect to see increased product flexibility and capability, delivered by our focused capacity, resulting in a broader offering across existing and new potential markets.

“Afripack Coatings will run under one management structure and it is our plan to streamline and optimise our resources over the next two to three years, and use our combined knowledge to make the correct investment decisions that will benefit our customers and stakeholders over the longer term,” he concludes.

PANELS

Keeping it HumbleA lot of companies invest vast sums in marketing themselves and there is certainly merit to this. Some,

however, prefer to keep below the radar and get on with business.

Sonae Novoboard falls into the latter cat-egory and when “Architect & Specificator” interviews product manager, Wayne Arrow, he can’t stress the fact enough. “We have

a strong belief in keeping it simple and below the line; we like to run a lean team and keep it humble,” he smiles.

Not corporateAlthough Sonae’s size hints at a large corporate structure, Wayne assures us that this is not the case. “We’re corporate without being corporate.In spite of being part of a multinational that is the second largest wood based panel industry supplier

in the world, we’ve managed to keep corporate red tape out of our operations by keeping management to a minimum.

“Our money goes into manufacturing. We have two factories in South Africa and we recently spent R500million on upgrading our manufacturing fa-cilities.” The upgrade effectively doubled capacity, making the company a formidable opponent in the wood based panel industry market.

Focus on manufacture“We don’t compete with our merchants or custom-ers so we don’t do components and we have no retail capability,” he continues. “Our merchants are the ones who handle the value-add aspect.”

By focusing on the production aspect, the company has developed a formula for attractive pricing

structures. “We keep fixed costs low so that we can be competitive. We also restrict orders to certain volumes to ensure that we can maintain these fixed costs. Some clients hate us for this because they have to order in loads of 600, but ultimately they are grateful for the price upgrade,” Wayne grins.

Streamlining pro-ductionAnother way in which Sonae remains competi-tive is by optimising its product range and focus-ing on those which are either firm favourites or currently in vogue. “Every couple of years we run a roadshow introducing industry members to the latest trends abroad. We ask them to choose new looks that they like and then we add them to our range. However, we try to stick to three basic ranges, while still provid-ing what the customer wants.”

Although he admits that Sonae’s products have numerous residential and commercial applications, however the company leaves value-add to its merchants

Durban is relaxed and has a large Indian population – they’re adventurous and favour bold design


PANELS

their roadshows attract many high profile creative personalities, Wayne doesn’t see the industry as a frivolous one. “There’s no glitz and glamour in what we do, apart from the fact that this is a field that is strongly fashion orientated. Mrs Jones is our end user and we would like to be more involved with her. However, we generally spend more time with the bulk merchant.”

Of course, even for someone who admits to being design-challenged, it’s difficult to overlook developments in the design field. “This industry is strange in terms of trends. Some colours fly constantly, so we always keep them available. Others are more seasonal or even regional. For instance, Durban is relaxed and has a large Indian population – they’re adventurous and favour bold design. Cape Town seems to prefer softer, muted colours, while Johan-nesburg is traditional, opting for cherry, beach and mahogany.”

Foreign influenceWith its strong international connections Sonae Novoboard is faced with both the positive and negative aspects of foreign influence on local markets. “Imported products have shaken up the industry and kept us on our toes,” Wayne acknowl-edges. “But our international ties give us an advantage. We can source specialised materials such as melamine paper from in-house manufacturers abroad, which helps in remaining competitive.

“Fortunately, Sonae’s main influence is in a support capacity rather than being Big Brother; they don’t

CONCRETE & CEMENT

R ainwater harvesting started gaining interest in South Africa a couple of years ago,” says Justin Kretzmar, sales engineer at Rocla. “Our con-

crete tanks are convenient because they are positioned below ground and out of sight, saving space and providing a cool and dark environment for the captured water which inhibits the growth of bacteria. They can also collect almost unlimited quantities; we have individual 10 000 litre tanks and a modular system that can easily accommodate anything up to and beyond a 150 000 litre installation.”

Rainwater can be used to water gardens, flush toilets or for washing purposes, sav-ing increasingly valuable potable water. “In Australia, developers have been putting tanks below shopping centre parking lots and school sports fields. The country also often uses stored rainwater for fire engines and street cleaning,” he continues. “By collecting up to 95% of water from roofs and paved areas, we can reduce potable water demand by up to 40%.”

Filtration systemsEffective filtration is an important element of the harvesting process since rainwater often carries dirt and oil, particularly when running off parking areas. Rocla has, therefore, included EcoTechnic filters to the system. “Cleaning is as simple as spraying the filter out twice a year,” he tells us.

Big ‘silent’ paversThe Concrete Manufacturers Association (CMA) sent two representatives to this year’s SEPT (Small Element Paving Technology) Association planning workshop which was

held in Dresden, Germany, from 4 to 6 May.

CMA director, Hamish Laing, and former CMA director and paving consultant, John Cairns, flew the South African flag.

Hamish says that one of the points which emerged from this year’s conference is that the demand for larger pav-ing blocks, some of them up to a square metre, is on the increase. “They are being used for aesthetic purposes for non-trafficked areas such as malls, squares, pavements and paths. For example, many of the malls in Dresden, which is one of Germany’s most beautiful cities, have been paved with concrete flagstones.”

Hamish mentions that another recent CBP development is the incorporation of granulated rubber in paving blocks

as sound-dampening material. “Noise pol-lution is taken very seriously in countries such as Germany, to the extent that noise- dampening technology is also being used in masonry construction.”

He observes that Ger-man companies manu-facture CBP units in thicknesses ranging from 80mm to 120mm and don’t make any-thing thinner than 80mm, unlike local producers for whom 80mm is at the top end of the thickness scale.

Light as a featherManual design sliding doors are becoming more popular. They are ideal for offices, hotels, and doctor’s surgeries or for private residences, as they do not take up any space when opening and ensure an optimal use of the room. Glass solutions create additional trans-parency and light. Even shelves, walk-in wardrobes, cloakrooms, bathrooms and entire kitchen-ettes can disappear discreetly behind them. Unused alcoves can be turned into valuable stor-age rooms. However distinctive glass doors appear, they always hold a potential risk due to their fragility. For this reason Geze has developed a draw-in damping for their sliding door fittings.

Geze offers the innovative roller-guided sliding door system Perlan 140 in different versions for single and double leafed slid-ing door systems, which can additionally be synchronously used. The system is suitable for mounting from light to heavy interior doors and sliding shutter systems made out of wood, glass, plastic and metal with door leaves up to 140 kg. High quality materials and first-class manufacturing ensure a resilient and durable use in heavily frequented areas.

Economic lionsSouth African retailers, such as Shoprite and Massmart, have pioneered the retail drive up Africa, while Wal-Mart, which has entered Africa with the highly publicised Massmart transaction, has clearly indicated that attractive potential exists for its expansion on the African continent.

“African retailing is really South African retailing, where almost all of the continent’s bustling commerce activity takes place. Considering the lack of globalisation, South African retail companies, particularly their food retailers, are large in comparison to other retailers around the world,” notes the 2011 ‘Global Powers of Retailing’ (Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and Stores Magazine report).

According to ‘Lions on the Move – the Progress and Potential of African economies’ research report by McKinsey Global Institute, “today, while Asia’s tiger economies continue to expand rapidly, we foresee the potential rise of economic lions in Africa’s future.”

It is projected that 50% of Africans will be living in cities by 2030 and that the continent’s top 18 cities could have a combined spending power of USD 1.3 trillion by this time.Email: [email protected] or visit www.sacsc.co.za

Natural ventilation‘Simplicity at its Best’ is how Russell Cramb of Robertson Ventilation Industries describes the installation of the natural ventilation system at the new Pretoria University Engineering Block. The system was designed to automate the windows on demand or from a BMS signal, to achieve the optimum amount of natural ventilation when external temperature conditions are favourable.

The equipment selected for the engineering block was the SE Controls-manufactured OS2 control panel, which operates on a modular system allowing the occupant to manually activate the automatic opening ventilators on demand.

The technology is relatively new to South Africa and has been designed to monitor internal and external conditions and operate according to set parameters to control the internal comfort for occupants. To achieve this, rain and wind sensors, thermostats, external and internal temperature sensors and various switches can be installed for additional control. The control system allows for input from any BMS

system to create proportional switching and thus allows the windows to open in 10 % increments to match small temperature movements.

The design and installation of the natural ventilation system for the Engineering Block was carried out by Rob-ertson Ventilation Industries who have accumulated a large amount of experience in the window automation industry.

Russell says, “The window automation market in South Africa is still in its infancy and is growing rapidly which is why we have aligned ourselves with an international manufacturer like SE Controls. They offer us a complete service, from intelligent design, through to product selec-tion and installation guidance”.

Two firstsNow in its 101st year of supplying materials to the con-struction and automobile industries, Sika also sets itself the highest standards of Environmental Management by complying with ISO14001.

Sika SA was the first construction chemical company in South Africa to achieve this in 2006 and is still the only construction chemical company to have this rating.

Sika SA managing director, Paul Adams claims it does not help to source a few products from third parties and claim your company is green. He also advises end users and specificers to visit manufacturing plants such as Sika to see that the company is truly committed to sustainability. “Ask them about disposal procedures and raw material sourcing. ISO 14001 helps us at Sika to commit to the “cradle to the grave concept”.

Sika is now pleased to announce yet another achievement; the Occupational Health and Safety Certification - OHSAS 18001, awarded in 2011. Sika is the first construction chemicals company in South Africa to be awarded this certification.

World’s largest airportNetherlands Airport Consultants (Naco), a member of the DHV Group, and a joint venture partner with SSI Engineers & Environmental Consultants for projects on the African continent, has won the design competition held between top airport consultants from around the world for the master plan and design for the world’s largest airport. The Beijing New International Airport (BNIA) will be built in the Chinese capital of Beijing. With a capacity to handle up to 130 million annual passengers, the airport will have a total of eight runways.

The current airport, Beijing Capital International Airport, will be reaching its design capacity within a few years, making the need for a new airport imminent. The Beijing New International Airport is scheduled to open in 2017.

Says Rik Krabbendam, managing director of Naco, “In 2003, Naco in joint venture with international architects and engineers, won the design competition for the expansion of Beijing Capital International Airport, and was assigned the task of designing the new terminal building including the landside and airside infrastructure to be ready for the 2008 Olympics.

Colourful regenerationJohannesburg’s historical venue for performing arts, the Victory Theatre, received a splash of colour thanks to the Let’s Colour Project. Launched by Dulux, the campaign is travelling the world, and has uplifted and regenerated neighbourhoods from Istanbul to Shanghai, London to Paris, and recently Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. To date, District Six’s Theatre in Cape Town has received a colourful makeover, along with Cato Manor’s haven for displaced people, Ekhupileni House and Soweto’s Atame-lang Primary School. Next the project revived the Victory Theatre in Houghton, in an effort to uplift communities and add colour to people’s lives as part of the Let's Colour philosophy.

The Victory Theatre has its roots in 1929 when it was built as a cinema for the first “talkies” movies. Originally known as the Grove Kinema, the name “Victory” Cinema came into being after World War II to celebrate the Allies’

triumph. Having staged imported Italian, French and Ger-man films for decades, the theatre was eventually closed in the early nineties in response to growing competition from larger movie conglomerates. As compensation for having to give up his beloved cinema, owner, Italo Bernicchi insisted that it be transformed into a theatre.

There can be no doubt that a theatre that is well supported by its surrounding communities has a positive and lasting impact not only on the cultural enrichment of individuals, but on the neighbourhood in which the theatre is situated too. The colourful regeneration of the Victory Theatre can only serve to uplift the area aesthetically, culturally and socially.

The rich and vibrant colours gracing the walls of the Vic-tory Theatre are sure to act as an ode to South Africa’s rich and vibrant culture.

Intense preparation“Isca contracted Liquid Flooring, a Mapei-accredited ap-plicator, to revamp the floor of a storeroom area spanning 700m² at its Kew facility that has been converted into an assembly room. Preparation of the surface was intense, as the concrete was old, oil-stained and rough. The floors had to be mechanically prepared before any product could be applied,” explains Garth Meyer, product manager flooring, Mapei South Africa.

A two-component water-based epoxy, Mapecoat I 620 W, was chosen for the coating as a very thick covering wasn’t required. This product is solvent free, and offers excellent resistance to abrasion.

From the outsetThe manufacturer of cast stone products, Revelstone, used Chryso SA’s Pareflo 20 silicone water repellant for the paving at the Nedbank Ridgeside development in Umhlanga Ridge. Nedbank Ridgeside is KZN’s first Green Building Council’s “Green Star” certified building, and only the second office development in South Africa to receive the certification.

Revelstone, with its head office in Lans-downe in Cape Town, has been using Chryso’s Pareflo as masonry pre-sealer since August 2009 following months of intensive tests in consultation with Chryso.

Alex Cyprianos, director of Revelstone, was impressed with the performance of the pre-sealer, which virtually eliminates efflorescence in concrete masonry, from the outset. “Pareflo 20 has helped Revelstone to reduce rejects, enhance colours, and significantly lower efflorescence in our pavers, cobbles, tiles, coping and clad-ding. Pareflo is now part of our production process and we used the pre-sealer for the Devon double cobbles, Devon cobbles, and Kent cobbles installed by Kaycrete Construction at Nedbank Ridgeside,” he states.

Whereas traditional water repellant admixtures cause insoluble fatty acid cal-cium salt deposits in the concrete matrix, Pareflo 20 forms poly-siloxane cross-linked network structures, chemically bonded to the concrete matrix. This per-manent chemical bonding means that the admixture cannot be washed away by capillary water penetration.

Chryso SA is a member of the Green Building Council of South Africa – the first producer of admixtures to have received GBCSA mem-bership.

News & ViewsReducing its burdenConstruction materials group, AfriSam, has won a prestigious Greening the Future Award.

For the past eight years, the Mail & Guardian (M&G) newspaper’s annual Greening the Future Awards have honoured innovation and action in environmental sustainability.

In an interview with the M&G, AfriSam South Africa’s chief executive officer, Stephan Olivier said the company had committed itself to reduc-ing its burden on the environment long before it was fashionable to do so. Today, AfriSam is an industry leader in emissions reduction and energy management, with the distinction of creating the world's first carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement rating for its products, setting new benchmarks in the construction industry, since cement production is a key source of carbon emissions.

"We realised that a delicate balance must be maintained between our emissions and the imperative to protect the planet," Stephan said. "Our focus on CO2 reduction and energy reduction initiatives have put us at the forefront in balancing economic progress and due care for the environment."

KWIKOT'S KWIKPUMP HEAT PUMPSOFFER HOME OWNERS AN ALTERNATIVE TOSOLAR WATER HEATING which is more efficient,cost effective and environmentally friendly.

This alternative trend in water heating works on the reverse principle ofthat of an airconditioner, extracting ambient heat from the atmosphereto heat the refrigerant, which is then pumped into a heat exchangecondenser to heat water in a domestic electric water heater or solar waterheater. The end result is water heated for approximately one third of theelectrical usage of an electric water heater. The free environment energyextracted from the ambient heat, provides approximately 75% of the heatpumps heating energy.

Heat pumps are available for 100lt to 250lt electric water heaters.

“Future proof” buildingsRapid changes in technology are providing major challenges to developers to ensure they do not deliver obsolete commercial and residential buildings, says Miguel Rodrigues a project manager with the Rabie Property Group.

“Developers are having to accommodate the demanding needs of consumers, particularly the under 30s who, armed with their smart phones and IPADS are quite literally mobile offices, so their needs differ considerably from many older consumers.”

Miguel says it is usually at least three years from the time a development is conceptualized to when it comes on stream. “What was perceived to be cutting edge at the time of planning, could well be outdated if not obsolete by the time the building is ready for occupation so we are having to change how we plan and design our developments in order to ‘future proof’ them.”

Miguel says that gone are the days of developers entering into long-term contracts on behalf of body corporates with technology service providers. “Five or so years ago it was common practice for developers to negotiate long term contracts for things like telephones, DSTV and internet at favourable rates with service providers for all purchasers within a development. The cost of these services would then be included in owners’ monthly levies for the duration of the contracts.

“At the time we believed we were providing our purchasers with hassle-free, cost effective, cutting edge solutions. However technology has advanced so significantly since then and purchasers’ needs are now different. A 30 year old with an IPAD, laptop with a 3G card, smart phone and the like does not need or want to be locked into paying for an ADSL line or other services he or she might not need but which less techno-savvy purchasers might still want.”

A climate-friendly glass palace 56 semi-transparent “ASI Thru” photovoltaic modules have been integrated into the glassy southern façade of the Olympic Mendizor-roza indoor swimming pool in Vitoria, Spain.

Totalling 9 702 square metres of floor space, the indoor swimming pool houses both an Olympic and a children’s swimming pool, in addition to several other facilities for competitive and recreational sports that are spread across various floors. With a supporting structure that consists of 1 000 tons of galvanized steel on top of a concrete base, the striking building has been glazed on all sides. Double-glazing with an internal walk-in area serves as a thermal air cushion.

The longest façade of the building faces south. The solar radiation is supported by a large outdoor swimming pool in front of the hall, whose reflective water surface casts even more light onto the façade.

The decision was made to purchase a solar power solution from Schott so that the concentrated solar energy that is generated here can be used in a climate-friendly manner. 56 semi-transparent “ASI Thru” photovoltaic modules were integrated into the glassy southern façade in an architecturally-pleasing manner. Manufactured from amor-phous silicon on the basis of so-called thin-film technology, these solar elements made of glass deliver extremely high output, even with higher temperatures.

The modules thus generate an estimated annual power output of 6 450 kilowatt hours (kWh). In terms of the Spanish energy mix, this means a reduction in emissions of roughly three tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). In addition, the semi-transparent modules offer protection from the sun and thus help prevent the halls from overheating, in

addition to conserving the energy needed for refrigeration and lighting.

The glassy solar elements fit into the geometric square structure of the façade extremely well. And they also support the clear design of this glass palace with its nifty transition to the sky above it and the terrace behind it. “These types of design possibilities simply could never have been achieved with most of the other standard bio-climatic solutions. And they are completely in line with our goal of integrating all of the solutions into one rational design to significantly lower the power consumption of the sports complex,” explains Fernando Bajo Martínez de Murguía, the Spanish architect, planner and site manager.

Correct chemical choiceBohle Glass Equipment (Pty) Ltd, Aachener Chemische Werke, supplies a leading range of glass processing chemicals for use in the cutting, cleaning and processing fields. Among the range of chemicals supplied is Acecut.

Inappropriate cutting fluids can cause splinters and chips which damage the surface during transport and the fol-lowing processing steps. Oily residues cause adhesion problems during processing (eg, laminating, mirror silvering, coating, IG etc.). Additional benefits of Acecut evaporating fluids include an excellent cutting/breaking performance, reduced processing costs and the fact that it evaporates completely. The cutting fluids are completely washable, while still providing all the necessary benefits.

Using only water or metal working fluids as a coolant is not sufficient to fulfil today`s high demands in productivity, when processing glass with diamond tools. Today fully synthetic coolants such as Acecool are used in glass process-ing machinery which give the following benefits: higher feed speed results in higher productivity; improved edge quality; increased life of diamond tools; protection against corrosion and reducing maintenance costs among others.

Cleaning of glass can be one of the biggest problems within a glass processing factory. The cleaning process is an important step while processing glass, in particular when refining the glass for insulating glass manufacture, laminated glass manufacture, printing and Low-E Coating. Impurities which remain on the glass surface after an insufficient cleaning process cause heavy losses in quality in the end leading to complete waste. These problems are overcome by using the washing agent, Acedet.

National heat pump divisionFollowing meetings of key heat pump industry stake-holders, hosted by the Sus-tainable Energy Society of Southern Africa (SESSA) in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban during June, SESSA has been given the mandate to establish a na-

tional heat pump division.

A non-profit organisation dedicated to the creation and continued growth of renewable energy and energy efficiency, SESSA already represents more than 500 members through its solar water heating division and an additional 120 through its photovoltaic division. Other SESSA initiatives include opportunity builders like Young SESSA, solar cooking and Sunpower for Life.

Establishing a heat pump division will create an industry mouthpiece to facilitate the expansion of a more energy efficient technology landscape, and will further sup-port SESSA’s mandate of continually striving towards the creation of a low carbon society. Membership of SESSA’s heat pump division will be open to any entity selling, installing or maintaining heat pump technolo-gies, regardless of size or geographical representation, as well as those involved in providing services, such as finance, to the heat pump industry.

Commenting on the establishment of the new division, SESSA Ambassador, Irvan Damon, says: “SESSA views the heat pump industry, which provides both domestic and commercial users with essential technology, as playing an important role as South Africa moves forward towards more sustainable energy resource use, underscored by a new clean energy era.”

News & ViewsLine of sight The 2010 Global WorkPlace Solutions Flexible Working Survey shows that flexible working has declined to 2003 levels, reversing years of growth. The research also shows a significant reduc-tion in the amount of time that employees choose to work from home or as “mobile workers”.

Study author and director of Global WorkPlace Innovation for Johnson Controls Global Work-Place Solutions, Dr Marie Puybaraud says: “In each of the six Flexible Working Surveys that we have conducted since 2002, we have seen an increase in flexible and mobile working, coupled with a decline in people choosing to work from the office. This latest study is significant because it shows that between 2007 and 2010, this trend reversed.”

Working from the office more than doubled from 18 percent in 2007 to 45 percent in 2010. Just 20 percent of those surveyed in 2010 worked from home regularly compared with 36 percent in 2007. Similarly, those working on the move, known as “mobile workers, fell from 46 percent in 2007 to 35 percent in 2010 – the lowest level since 2003.

The principal reason that respondents gave for going to the office was to meet people (75 percent), followed by to collaborate (11 percent) and interact with others (4 percent).

However, Marie believes the survey provides indirect evidence of the impact that the global recession had on em-ployee working patterns. “There has been a very clear return to the office by workers following the global recession. The downturn and threat of job loss led to a lot of insecurity in the workplace, so another reason behind this trend could be that employees want to be seen at work as a way of demonstrating their worth to their managers.”

“Collaborative technologies are readily available and there is no evidence that companies have driven this trend to work in the office, so this appears to be an employee behavioral response to tough times and uncertainty. As the global recovery continues we should see that more people work flexibly. Organisations should continue to adopt emerging technologies and policies that will support a tech-savvy workforce and globalized teams,” Marie concludes.

News & ViewsFirst mall overhauled Specialist contractors Gordon Verhoef and Krause who have more than 50 years’ experience in the fields of building, renovation, restoration and recycling of buildings, has been awarded the R7 million tender to perform the transformation.

John Schlesinger, heir to the Schlesinger Group and one of the first major art col-lectors in Johannesburg, is credited with building Killarney Mall in 1972, the first mall in Johannesburg. The mall belongs to Octodec Investments Limited.

When it was first built, the mall was a low-rise building, surrounded by a timber façade. The low walls, which housed a large open court with shops around the periphery, were decorated in white. To-

Curbing water lossAs part of its 17 Point Plan to reduce water losses, eThe-kwini Water and Sanitation (EWS) has implemented, for the first time in Africa, a water pressure controller which is currently saving an additional one million litres of water per day in the Durban CBD area alone.

The i2O pressure controller is a revolutionary device that possesses ‘artificial intelligence’, which optimises the control of water pressure on its own. Utilising Global System for Mobile (GSM) Communication signals, the new i2O controller is constantly updated with the pressure information from the critical point in the zone. Using advanced algorithms, it then makes minute adjustments to the pressure reduc-

day the mall houses three floors of office suites, a medical centre, Houghton Post Office, Killarney Library, 83 stores on two levels and a new Cine Centre movie complex. Over the years it has undergone several renovations, the last of which resulted in a stone aggregate veneer covering the building.

To update the building’s look, the team demolished the stone finish on the exterior of the towers, plastered and treated it with a specialised and durable spray which forms a protective coating that creates a gentle, granular appearance. Existing external walls were also repaired and repainted.

At the entrances to the mall, new carpet wells and walk off mats were installed and the granite tiling repaired. A new steel roof structure was mounted on one of the parking decks with a Pluvia drainage system and new light fittings. This required construction of ring beams, columns and structural steel to support the roof sheeting. The eight-month project was completed in July 2011.

“Since the first installation in October last year, the benefits of utilising this technology are easily noticeable. It offers big leakage savings, short implementation times and zero dis-ruption to the public as it does not involve any digging of road surfaces” says EWS Head, Neil Macleod. On average, the intelligent device will pay for itself within six weeks of installation from the volume of water that is saved.

“Updating our utilities and improving service delivery is essential to keep our City operating at peak productivity. With the growing demand for water, we at EWS need to be resourceful in meeting this challenge.”

According to Neil, seven pressure controllers have already been fitted and by end June 2011, a total of 13 had been installed across the City. These new installations will account for a saving of 3 million litres of water per day.

Project lighting marketEurolux is making its entry into the local project lighting sector with the offering of its first range of professional project lighting to retailers and wholesalers. Included in the range are high bays, pendants and downlights, ideal for commercial, retail and manufacturing environments, while certain items are also suitable for use in high-end residential applications. Most of the lights come fitted with a remote electronic control gear for greater energy efficiency, with two ranges that include a three hour emergency back-up.

Calling the move a natural progres-sion, Shaun Bouchier, director at Eurolux, says they have been planning their entry into the project lighting space for a while now, but their focus was on finding the right products for the South African ma r ke t .

“ We ’ v e long since

recognised the need to enter the

project lighting sector, given the fact that it is such a

large part of the market and that most of our customers stock these

product lines. However, we wanted to ensure that when we did enter this space,

we offered products of high quality, durability and functionality.”

According to Shawn a lot of thought has been given to reflector shape and finish, as these are some of the most crucial features in efficient project lighting. Hence the Eu-rolux range features reflectors made from highly reflective materials that ensure consistent reflector performance.

The emergency backup battery offered on two of the ranges, are particularly useful in factories, retail stores and offices. “South Africa has its fair share of electricity outages and we also have to contend with load shedding, that is why these products that still offer users 50% of their light output for a three-hour period, are proving so popular,” elaborates Shawn.

“High-intensity discharge (HID) lighting, as found in the Eurolux high bay pendants, can provide more light over a greater distance, ideal for warehouses with very high roof structures and areas where large spaces have to be lit.”
