New RIBA Accredited CPD from Howe Green Ltd
Howe Green Ltd, the UK’s leading manufacturer of fabricated metal access covers, has recently launched a new CPD seminar.
The CPD – “Safe Access All Areas: Floor Access” has been accredited by RIBA and is listed on the RIBA CPD website – www.ribacpd.com.
The aim of the CPD is to help architects and specifiers gain a greater insight into the key considerations when specifying floor access covers.
Floor access covers provide a safe and easy way to overcome the challenge of accessing building services concealed under floors. As a small part of an overall construction project floor access covers are often an overlooked element of the building envelope. However, the consequences of specifying an access cover that is inappropriate for the environment where it is being installed can have far-reaching, and costly, implications. Choice of materials, such as stainless steel or aluminium, loading performance, floor finish and fire rating are examples of just some of the different design parameters that need to be considered when specifying floor access covers.
Health and safety remain at the forefront of specification in the construction industry. The CPD outlines how floor access covers can be moved safely and in line with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations (MHOR) 1992, CDM 2015 Regulations and Building Regulations.
Floor access covers may seem a simple, straightforward product to specify however getting the specification right for the intended use and ensuring the requirements for both performance and aesthetics are met can be fraught with complexity.
James Fisher, MD of Howe Green, explains, “For over 35 years Howe Green has built an incredible amount of expertise and knowledge in the niche area of floor access covers. This new CPD is an opportunity to share our learning with fellow building services professionals.
“We are committed to providing architects and specifiers with all the necessary tools to ensure the correct specification of access covers. The more information and resources that we can make available the better informed their decision making will be when it comes to specifying the right access cover for the installation environment."
Howe Green’s Business Development Managers, Chris George and Richard Fletcher, will be responsible for delivering the CPD. Classified under the RIBA Core Curriculum by design, construction and technology the hour-long seminar aims to cover general awareness of specifying floor access covers.
If you would like to find out more about the CPD or make a booking for your company please call Sue Marler on 01920 463 230 or email cpd@howegreen.co.uk.
University Saves Time and Money with Visedge Floor Access Covers
Howe Green’s Visedge Series Flexible Floor Access Covers are helping the University of Surrey to save time and money when it comes to maintenance of concealed services in their busy refectory.
Established in 1966 the university estate has been transformed over the last 18 years with a £400 million building development and improvement programme. A series of investments have been made in student accommodation, the Surrey Sports Park, the Library and Learning Centre and the Ivy Arts Centre.
Additional investment has also been made in a new School of Veterinary Medicine and 5G Innovation Centre, a research centre for mobile communications and future internet technologies.
With a population of over 15,000 students, the campus of the award-winning university is a hive of activity.
Fourteen of Howe Green’s Visedge Series Flexible Floor Access Covers were specified for a refurbishment project in the refectory by main contractor, Roberts Building Services Ltd of Woking. The access covers were fitted by Progressive Floor Surfaces, a family run business with over 55 years of experience in the installation of flexible and hard flooring finishes.
Once installed the Visedge covers were infilled with Altro StrongholdTM which has been developed specifically for use in commercial kitchens, canteens and food preparation areas. This safety flooring has Altro’s highest rating for slip resistance as well as providing noise reduction and comfort underfoot due to the 3mm thickness of the flooring. Weldable PVC securing edge were used to enable the frame section of the access cover to be bonded and welded to the cut edge of the sheet flooring. By doing this an impermeable, flat, hygienic and permanent joint was formed ensuring the highest levels of cleanliness and hygiene.
The Visedge Series Flexible Floor Access Covers replaced frames which were so heavy and cumbersome that they had previously taken four people to remove whenever maintenance of the services concealed beneath the flooring was required. The new Visedge covers offer a tough, lightweight, non-rusting access solution. In the event of any maintenance to underfloor services, the covers can be removed safely, quickly and easily with the use of lifting keys, keeping disruption in the busy university refectory to a minimum.
George Flinn, Managing Director from Progressive Floors comments, “Our experience with Howe Green on this project was perfect. 11/10 from start to finish! We rang them for a quote which was provided by return. The Visedge covers were delivered on time and were easy to install. We were very happy with the service we received from the Howe Green team.”
The Visedge Series offers a pedestrian loading and is suitable for pedestrian footfall, wheeled trolleys and sack trucks. The covers can be supplied as a single cover, a duct run or as a multipart unit. A range of standard sizes are available from stock or can be custom made to order where a bespoke size is required.
If you would like to find out how Howe Green can assist with your next requirement for a safe and easy floor access solution for concealed services please call 01920 463230.
