Value Engineering Opportunities

Spiralite pre-insulated non-metal ductwork offers a number of Value Engineering (VE) options that should all be cost and time effective, while delivering a robust, long-lasting and both thermally and energy efficient product.

Spiralite is fully compatible with any GSS compliant design specification in that:

• It is DW144/3 compliant

• It is BS EN 13403 compliant

• The ductwork dimensions remain the same or are similar

• All GSS duct sections are duplicated in Spiralite

• All in-line plant items used with GSS systems are used in a pre-insulated system

• It generates greater thermal, airflow and energy efficiency with lower pressure drops

• There is complete design flexibility in terms of dimensions, shapes, lengths and finishes Furthermore, Spiralite is:

• Significantly quicker and easier to install

• Allows space savings in narrow ceiling voids, etc

• Allows weight savings and easier hanging (it is about 80% lighter than GSS ductwork plus lagging)

• More acoustically efficient

• Very robust, and particularly where an additional VentureClad laminate is applied

• Does not require special treatment for installation in moist or chemically hostile atmospheres

• Easier to fabricate, and particularly the more complex sections such as twin bends

• Lighter and easier to hang and connect

As a result, the following VE options could be considered:

1. Less ductwork where there are complex systems

2. Smaller ductwork diameters in narrow confines

3. Reduced capacity, weight and sizes of air handling equipment

4. Less expensive weatherproofed external ductwork

5. Less expensive protected ductwork in plant rooms, risers, etc

6. Easier configurations in areas that have unusual shapes or restricted access

7. Less mechanical noise in acoustically sensitive areas

8. Use of aesthetically and air flow efficiency enhanced twin- bends, etc instead of tee pieces, etc

9. Use of time and cost efficient wire hangers where suitable

10. More effective FCU plenums and discharge ducting incorporating built-in Volume Control Dampers

11. Use in moist or chemically hostile areas as an alternative to very expensive stainless steel or zinc/epoxy coated ductwork

12. Aesthetically enhanced finishes in open-to-view environments. Detailed VE design enhancements, and the implications thereof, can be developed during the pre-construction phase of the project.

2 Introduction to Spiralite

National Theatre, London

Key site advantages from the use of Spiralite®

i. Ease and speed of installation – given the light weight of Spiralite, on-site logistics and manual handling are greatly simplified. Furthermore, due to ease of adapting Spiralite on-site, installation is quick, flexible and cost effective, which is further enhanced by the use of the Gripple wire hanging systems, where appropriate.

Where there is room to assemble Spiralite on-site, it can also be delivered to site and to the installation area in a flat-packed format and this further increases speed and efficiency.

ii. Ease and simplification of site co-ordination – this is optimised where our installation partners are installing both the ductwork systems and the pipework insulation, as the same installers are performing multiple and complementary tasks with the same contract/project managers co-ordinating and managing their activities. Furthermore, the nature of the products, as described above, optimises ease and speed of installation, variations, defect rectification and project completion. In particular, co-ordination is simplified as Spiralite is installed in a single operation without the requirement for access for lagging as a second site operation. Secondly, it is relatively easy to manhandle our ductwork through restricted spaces in long lengths, again without the subsequent need to lag the ductwork.

iii. Other site advantages from pre-insulated ductwork and pre-cut and weatherproofed insulation:

1. Results in substantial Health & Safety benefits (no sharp edges, no heavy cutting or lifting equipment required, easier and quicker to install, no toxicity or hazardous materials of any sort, etc)

2. Allows most changes and alterations to be done on site, therefore significantly reducing the incidence of costly variations

3. Results in far less defects and quicker and easier defect rectification

4. It de-skills the site and allows most fabrication to be done off-site, significantly lowering site risk

5. It results in virtually zero waste on site and any waste can be fully recycled

“The general consensus from the engineers is that it is a fantastic product with huge potential, and you get a far superior product, both in terms of performance and aesthetics.” Divisional Director, Mott MacDonald

iv. Product robustness, longevity and protection on site –

Spiralite combines two tried and tested products – Kingspan phenolic insulation panels and the VentureTape (a 3M Company) laminates, and engineers them into a rounded duct shape. We use these materials as they are the best that we can find anywhere in the world and come with warranties that are unprecedented in the industry and shows the level of confidence that our suppliers have in Spiralite®.

Furthermore, Kingspan phenolic insulation panel is the only thermoset insulation in the world to pass the 13 tests within Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 181 – Factory-Made Air Ducts. No other Phenolic or PIR/PUR has passed this strenuous set of physical tests that allows it to be classed as UL listed, which listing has been retained for 16 years since 2000.

Provided Spiralite is handled and stored properly, accidental damage will be avoided. In any event, any damage is easy to repair or replace with new sections. Minor damage can be repaired with reinforced foil tape and a more seriously damaged section can easily be cut out and a new section inserted using standard connecting pieces. To date damage has not been a problem on the sites that have used Spiralite.

These include installations in glacial tunnels in Norway, on major projects at Manchester Drama Hub and Huddersfield Leisure Centre, and on large, complex and congested sites at Wedgwood Factory and Nottingham University.

In summary and regarding overall robustness and longevity of Spiralite, the following points are relevant:�

• The Kingspan phenolic board from which Spiralite is fabricated has a high density of 55 – 60 kg/metre³ and a perpendicular compressive strength >200 kN/m² at 10% compression, making it very strong and not susceptible to damage.

• At sizes over 355mm diameter, Spiralite ductwork has a metal internal connector every 1.2 metres and, at larger sizes, a strengthening rod in between that, so every 0.6 metres there is a mechanical brace which significantly strengthens and protects the duct.

• External/façade mounted ductwork is covered with either a 6-ply or 13-ply VentureClad laminate, the latter being as tough as a metal jacketing system and which, again, adds strength, robustness and longevity to the system (see point 2 below)

• We only use premium laminates and tape as they have superior gluing technology that has been tested in the most extreme conditions and over many years, without any material deterioration in quality.

• Both the KoolDuct and the VentureClad come with product warranties that are far stronger and for longer periods that for the comparable GSS ducting.

• The duct connections/joints are substantially over-engineered in order to ensure long-term robustness - internal couplings, mastic, tiger clips and tape result in a 4-part fix that is both airtight and pressure resistant (tested without damage or leaking to 7,667 Pa, which is far more that GSS ducting would be able to endure).

“It’s a lightweight product with no sharp edges and is really fast to install..…it’s a really good product” – Khansaheb MEP Manager, Mirdif Mall, Dubai

v. Other issues relevant to the robustness and longevity of the products are as follows:

1. �Use�in�high�traffic�areas�such�as�plant�rooms�and�basements:�where there is potential for damage to the external surface of the ductwork in high traffic/use areas, we apply a 6-ply or 9-ply laminate that significantly adds to the robustness of the external duct surface and offers adequate protection. Where the potential for damage is extreme, we would apply a 13-ply laminate. This is as tough as a metal jacketing system as it has 13 layers of aluminium and polyalkalene/polyolefin rather than the 6 or 9 layers used in the standard laminates. We are not aware of any instances of damages to the ductwork (with the application of this laminate) that has had any impact on the performance or integrity of the ductwork. Please see the relevant laminate data sheets attached as annexures.

It should be remembered that a risk of damage to the insulation would be the same if GSS ducting and mineral wool lagging was used.

2. Product�Warranty: Kingspan (phenolic insulation panels) and 3M (laminates and tapes) will warrant that their products will last a minimum of 10 years when used within the Spiralite pre-insulated ductwork system.

This warranty is stronger than anything else offered by comparable products and is subject to proper installation and maintenance.

In reality, they would expect their products to last the lifetime of the mechanical plant, as has been their past experience.

3. Potential�for�damage�to�Spiralite�ductwork�externally�by�seagulls�or�vermin:�we allow for 6-ply or 9-ply laminate to be applied to all external ductwork. In our experience, bird damage is very rare, but in the instances where it does occur, there has only been superficial damage to the insulation. We have not had any instances of bird damage to Spiralite, despite the oldest external Spiralite installations now being 7-8 years old.

However, where there may be substantial risk of bird damage, we use 13-ply laminate and there has never been a report of bird damage to this material.

4. Potential�for�damage�to�Spiralite�ductwork�during�the�cleaning�process: please see the document attached as an appendix. This is a letter from a duct cleaning contractor setting out their appraisal of our O&M procedures for duct cleaning. Their opinion is that as long as abrasive metal brushes are not used, Spiralite will not be damaged in any way during the cleaning process and in fact, they found it easier to clean than GSS ductwork. Our O&M procedures will set out clearly the way the duct should be cleaned and maintained, but it is a straightforward process; in fact, identical to cleaning GSS ductwork with standard, soft brushes.

Spiralite Product Attributes

Heathrow Terminal 5, London

12

In addition, to the features outlined below, please refer to the schedule of Spiralite M&E Q&A’s included in the Annexures (available on request), which details all the questions, and answers, asked by various M&E consultants to date, as well as a CPD presentation that details all the product attributes.

The significant product attributes of Spiralite ductwork include:

a.� �Airtight�and�pressure�resistant (refer attached BSRIA report) – Spiralite is rated as Class C at 2,500 pa, significantly more airtight and pressure resistant than GSS ductwork (the same leakage rate at 2,500pa as GSS ductwork had at 500pa), and in the tests did not leak at 7,667 Pa.

b.� �Certification�and�compliance�with�legislation�and�relevant�standards (refer to Schedule of Certifications) – Spiralite and the installation process is compliant with all relevant standards, guidance and regulations, including DW144. The Spiralite ductwork system is able to meet (and comfortably exceed) the air leakage requirements and pressure classifications that are referenced in DW144 (Specification for Sheet Metal Ductwork), BS EN 1507 and BS EN13403 when following the principles of the product specification manuals and the fabrication guidelines. DW143 is a Practical Guide to Ductwork Leakage Testing (based on DW144 – Specification for Sheet Metal Ductwork) and all the testing requirements can easily be satisfied when applied to pre-insulated ductwork.

c.� �Lower�pressure�drops�and�greater�airflow�efficiency – this can be seen from the pressure drop tables included in the annexures (available on request). As a result of the airtightness, rounded shape of Spiralite and the significantly lower roughness factor of the internal laminate (about one twelfth of the metal spiral equivalent), the use of Spiralite results in meaningfully lower pressure drops and optimal airflow efficiency.

d.� �Optimal�thermal�efficiency (refer to Thermal Conductivity of Spiralite) – this arises from:

• Spiralite’s excellent thermal performance characteristics - the rigid phenolic insulation panels used in its manufacture have a very low thermal conductivity, (0.022 W/m-k and 10°C) and are of a closed cell construction which means that they are resistant to moisture absorption and heat losses/gains are minimised

• The fact that the ductwork is insulated over its entire length with built in vapour seals

• The internal connections allow no thermal bridge and are also airtight

3 Spiralite Product Attributes

“Very simple and efficient to repair and maintain to a high standard.”

13

e.� �Weight�saving – Spiralite is at least 80% lighter than the GSS plus lagging equivalent and this has many delivery, site handling and moving and installation benefits.

f.� �Space�saving – because Spiralite is pre-insulated, space does not have to be left for the lagging to be done. Furthermore, the optimal airflow and thermal efficiencies referred to above can allow the ductwork sizes to be reduced without increasing airflow velocities for a given quantity of air, allowing for even greater space savings.

g.� �Air�quality�and�humidity – arising from the above factors, the use of Spiralite optimises the air quality and minimises humidity in the treated air, thereby creating the most comfortable environment for the users/occupiers of the conditioned space.

h.� �Fire�and�smoke�performance - Kingspan KoolDuct, from which Spiralite is fabricated, is Class 0 and Euroclass B S1 D0 – being Main Class B and Smoke Class 1 (the best of 1 to 3) and Flaming Droplets class 0 (the best of 0 to 2). It is also the only phenolic insulation panel to have a UL listing, which requires the highest standards of fire and smoke performance.

i. Ease�of�cleaning�and�installation�of�access�doors – the cleaning of Spiralite and installation of access doors is consistent with the requirements of TR19. Due to various factors, including less ingress of dirt and the smooth surface of the inner cryogenic laminate, cleaning is easier and quicker than that of GSS ductwork.

j. Enhanced�acoustics – Spiralite, in most cases, offers enhanced acoustic performance, as follows:

• Less overall noise pollution: • No reverberation • Break-out closer to source of noise • Lower transmission • Less noise creation and accentuation • Enhanced acoustic qualities that can be further improved by: - the addition of an inner acoustic lining or - to wrap the ductwork with special acoustic lagging - The use of vibration isolation hangers • Very simple and efficient to repair and maintain to a high

standard • No deterioration in acoustic properties over the lifetime of

the mechanical systems

Any additional acoustic requirements can be met through the use of standard attenuators and/or acoustic wrap or lining.

k.� �Enhanced�aesthetics - the standard foil faced finish of the outer laminate on Spiralite offers improved aesthetics over the traditional duct-wrap/mineral wool alternative. We are also able to supply the ductwork with a range of coloured laminates that offer a finish that is superior in many ways to anything else available in the market (painting, coating, metal cladding, etc) and typically at a lower cost.

l. Carbon�saving,�energy�efficiency�and�environmental�

attributes – Spiralite has optimal sustainability and environmental credentials that can be summarised as follows:

• CFC/HCFC and HFC free • Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), Low Global Warming

Potential (GWP) • Full BREEAM/LEED/Green Star/Estidama credits; only

ductwork to qualify for BREEAM credits in 3 award areas, including innovation

• Optimal use of recycled raw materials in production process; re-usable and recyclable

• Close to zero wastage on site • Very low carbon footprint – a fraction of the 1,330kg’s for

steel insulated

“Very simple and efficient to repair and maintain to a high standard.”

Corporate Responsibility

Guys Hospital, London

21

The company believe that, in order to sustain future growth and development, it has a duty in the following areas:

• Equal Opportunity, Staff Training and Development – this includes:

- A commitment to equal opportunity throughout the group and at every level of internal and external engagement - Ensuring the highest possible skills levels and staff satisfaction and fulfilment in the tasks that they are undertaking for the company - Project specific optimal use of local labour (and local purchasing, where possible) - The employment and training of apprentices as part of the project development process.• Offsite manufacture, deliveries and site logistics – Spiralite,

as pre-insulated ductwork, maximises the opportunity for offsite manufacture and this can be further improved by the connection and joining of ductwork sections in the factory prior to delivery. Due to the lightweight nature of the products and the ability to deliver in a flat packed format, deliveries can the reduced by up to 85%, generating cost and carbon savings. Finally, many site logistic efficiencies are generated due to, inter alia, the speed and ease of installation, the many H&S benefits and the lightness of the ductwork, as detailed elsewhere in this presentation.

• Waste Management – we ensure that waste is minimised at several levels, including:

- The ordering process - The production process - Deliveries - Site installations - Product returns - After-care

All Spiralite waste from both the fabrication and installation processes are recyclable, resulting in close to zero waste.

• Carbon Footprint, sustainability & energy efficiency – environmental awareness is a critical issue and, as detailed elsewhere in this presentation, the numerous innovations introduced by the company all play a part in optimising this process. The use of Spiralite and the installation reduces the overall carbon impact of the project, optimises sustainability and generates meaningful energy savings.

• Community Engagement – the company is part of many communities and believes in playing a role in all of them, including:

- Participation in and supporting local community activities and initiatives

- Being an active part of TICA, the national Thermal Insulation Contractors Association, and supporting its initiatives

- Participating in and supporting staff where they are involved in charitable activities

• High tech manufacturing and precision engineering facilities

• Plants with hostile internal atmospheres and chemicals present – a high quality, low cost alternative to stainless steel ducting

• Sterile environments that have a more onerous requirement for optimal air quality – clean, with the correct volumes, temperature and humidity, including:

- Hospitals and other medical facilities - Pharmaceutical facilities - Laboratories and test centres - Food processing plants - Clean rooms where hepa filters create high positive and negative pressures - Data and energy centres where there is a high cooling specification Please refer to Section 8 for details.

• Retail developments where speed of installation and quality of air is important

• Open-to-view applications for improved aesthetics

• Secondary ducting coming off FCUs, which is typically circular and is required to be insulated

• Insulated flat oval ducting where there are space constraints in the ceiling voids

• Applications where there are any other space, weight or size limitations or restrictions

Sterile Environments

Spiralite�pre-insulated�non-metal�ductwork�is�suitable�for�use�in�any�environment�that�has�a�flow�of�conditioned�air,�but�is�particularly�well�suited�to�sterile�environments�that�have�a�more�onerous�requirement�for�optimal�air�quality�–�clean,�with�the�correct�volumes,�temperature�and�humidity.�

Such environments include:

• Hospitals and other medical facilities

• Pharmaceutical facilities

• Laboratories and test centres

• Food processing plants

• Precision and engineering facilities

• Clean rooms

• Energy centres

• High tech manufacturing

Specific advantages for Spiralite Sterile and Medical Use include:

1. The internal cryogenic laminate is significantly more sterile than the metal and non-lined equivalents, both in terms of its composition and surface quality. It has a natural anti-microbial smooth surface with an absence of pitting, preventing the proliferation of microbes and other foreign/hostile organisms. The internal laminate also contains a mould inhibiting agent that further maintains the sterility of the surface.

2. Having the internal folds in the direction of the air flow helps to avoid the accumulation of dirt and the shape of the duct removes almost all “dead spots” where eddy currents allow dirt to build up, such as within the corners of rectangular ductwork. In addition, the new cutting machine allows tighter and more precise cuts which keeps the crevices to a minimum and reduces the build-up of dirt and/or bacteria.

3. Spiralite can be fabricated with a Biocote anti-microbial agent bonded into the internal laminate; this has been tested to be 99.99% successful in killing both E.coli and MRSA bacteria coming into contact with it

4. Due to the smoothness of the internal laminate and the lower accumulation and adherence of foreign particles, Spiralite is quicker and easier to clean and maintain in a sterile condition.

5. Where hepa-type filters are required to ensure optimal air cleanliness, the high internal negative pressures that they can create have no impact on the structural integrity of Spiralite

Project Development Process

Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University

This�is�a�complex�process�and�includes�the�following�key�stages,�all�with�key�success�factors:

• Marketing and project development – developing a sustainable long term relationship with the client; developing Value Engineering (VE) options and design implications

• Estimating and cost negotiations – ensuring full and proper costing using the correct project documentation, full compliance with project specifications, use of the correct products, full and detailed disclosure of all inclusions and exclusions, detailed understanding of company and client requirements

• Co-ordination activities – this can be at three levels:

- Co-ordination of the installation of the insulation or ductwork - Co-ordination when both the insulation and ductwork is being supplied and installed - Co-ordination of the entire supply and installation of the mechanical services, including ductwork, insulation, electricity and other services. This is of particular importance for refurbishment or retrofit projects that can have added complexities• Pre-construction and site inspections – to ensure that the

project documents properly reflect site conditions; generation of initial variations, full communication to clients and their agreement thereto, agree fabrication and installation programmes, identify potential pinch points and periods for accelerated delivery

• Installation documentation, RAMS, responsible parties, etc – to ensure full compliance with project management, H&S and related processes as a critical part of project risk management

• Installation (project delivery) – site work to be consistent with good practice and what has been agreed in the above stages; compliant with cost and time budgets; full client communication ductwork installation process

• Completion, quality assurance and defects management – we have a defined Quality Assurance process for defect management that generates an early identification of defects, determines the responsibility for rectification and monitors the progress, timing and completion thereof, culminating in client approval and sign-off. This process may include ductwork testing and commissioning, if included by agreement, during the pre-construction phase.

Please refer to the following available documents that are relevant to this process: - Project RAMS - Excel Quality Policy - Quality Assurance (QA) Checklist - Hand Over Procedures Checklist - Testing and Commissioning Programme and Control Checklist

• Post completion support and after-care – guidance regarding best practice for repairs and maintenance, post completion site inspections, etc

These processes help to ensure optimal project development, together with key project document processes such as RAMS (Risk Assessments & Method Statements), Quality Assurance Controls and Health & Safety Policy & Processes, leading to successful project delivery from pre-construction through to delivery completion and after-care in a safe and controlled manner.

Please refer to various company documents relating to the above stages and available as Annexures on request to this presentation.
