Sika sarnafil explosive success for royal gunpowder mills heritage roof refurbishment
A historic and archaeological treasure , the Royal Gunpowder Mills heritage site in Waltham Abbey , Essex , has been given a new lease of life with a stunning and sympathetic roof refurbishment .
Consisting of listed buildings , ancient monuments and natural aspect features , the site is a well-loved attraction . A busy hub of activity , it attracts thousands of visitors every year , with exhibitions and a programme of hands-on activities for school groups .
With previous roof coverings across the site ’ s buildings close to derelict , a new roofing system was needed that would both guarantee a durable solution and fit with the aesthetic of the heritage buildings . To meet those needs , Sika Sarnafil G410-15EL FSA Lead Grey was specified alongside Sarnavap 1000E air and vapour control layer .
The high-quality roofing system was chosen after the project ’ s main contractors Courtenay Builders Limited were impressed with the results from similar Sika Sarnafil projects . They also entrusted Contour Roofing with the specification and installation after seeing its award-winning track record with Sika Sarnafil .
As a site once home to tonnes of explosives and with visitors in throughout the refurbishment , the project proved challenging , requiring extensive attention to health and safety . A strict ban on naked flames and hot works meant that the plywood boards had to be primed immediately after installation and before exposure to any wet weather . The specification therefore considered this and the original system , which would have needed a completely dry substrate , was switched to a loose laid polyethylene air and vapour control layer that was more equipped for a faster installation in the expected conditions .
Layher scaffolding versatility checks in for famous hotel refurbishment
Layher Scaffolding has been used by Sky Scaffolding Midlands Ltd . – appointed by building restoration specialists , Quadriga Contracts Ltd . – during refurbishment of the prestigious Burlington Hotel in Birmingham .
“ We installed scaffolding to nine levels with full public access to the shops at ground level maintained ,” says Jack Davies , Sky Scaffolding Project Manager .
A key need saw scaffolding access installed above an internal glass atrium .
“ This was achieved by creating a birdcage from Layher Allround suspended from anchors fixed to the hotel ’ s internal wall ,” explains Jack Davies .
Safe , multi-level access and clear walkways demonstrate the suitability of Layher ’ s equipment for the project .
“ Everything about the access provision is impressive and Sky Scaffolding deserves great credit for meeting the specific needs ,” adds Andrew Gee , Layher Area Sales Manager . gbr . sarnafil . sika . com www . layher . co . uk
