Kingspan sets responsible
sourcing benchmark
A
s part of its forward thinking approach
to responsible sourcing, Kingspan
Insulation was one of the earliest adopters
of the BES 6001: Responsible Sourcing of
Construction Products standard. Now the
firm has gone even further, becoming the
first insulation manufacturer to have its
products certified as ‘Excellent’ under BES
6001.
The rigorous standard, developed by
BRE Global, provides a detailed framework
of the processes which must be addressed
to ensure responsible sourcing of
construction materials. These include
organisational governance, supply chain
management and environmental and social
elements. Once the certificate has been
awarded, key data is verified annually by
the BRE. Following its most recent audit
under issue 3.0 of BES 6001, all Kooltherm,
KoolDuct and Therma insulation products
and cavity closers manufactured at
Kingspan Insulation’s facilities in
Pembridge and Selby have now been
certified to the ‘Excellent’ level.

Recticel Insulation marks a BIM century
11
eading PIR manufacturer Recticel Insulation has marked a century by posting more than
100 objects with the award-winning NBS National BIM Library, the fastest-growing BIM
library in the UK. Downloadable in the Revit, Vectorworks, AECOSim and ArchiCAD
software formats, as well as the open IFC standard, the Recticel portfolio of BIM objects
includes their three key brands – Eurothane, Eurowall and Powerdeck. This encompasses
solutions for flat and pitched roofs, walls (including rainscreen systems) and floors.
BIM objects are essentially a collection of product data used by the relevant software
package to render a visual format as required to achieve the best collaboration across the
construction project. The CAD visualisation of the building design is often focused upon but
the real value of BIM is the sharing of information across the design team – and with the end
user. As a product manufacturer, the continual development of Recticel’s BIM offering
ensures its suitability for projects of all types, with a particular view towards the impending
requirement from the UK Government that all public construction projects are to be built
using level 2 BIM from 2016. Recticel’s technical specialist Paul Forrester said: “We are also
contributing to a common BIM template for insulation products for use throughout the
construction industry, and that work is ongoing.” www.nationalbimlibrary.com/recticel
