Skyline Architectural Aluminium from Alumasc Chosen for Stunning Jersey Development
Skyline Architectural Aluminium from Alumasc Chosen for Stunning Jersey Development
A prestigious coastal development in Jersey is benefitting from the clean, contemporary lines of Skyline Architectural Aluminium fascia, soffits and copings, from Alumasc Water Management Solutions (AWMS).
Andium Homes are Jersey's largest provider of affordable housing, and their Edinburgh House development on Green Street in St Helier, was a long time in the making. The site, formerly known as La Collette Low Rise, was originally home to listed buildings and protected open spaces, meaning a sympathetic approach and a number of enabling works were required prior to construction taking place.
Designed by Morris Architects and delivered on behalf of Andium Homes by main contractor, Dandara, Edinburgh House comprises three residential blocks creating 147 new homes, private balconies and landscaped communal gardens. Its beautiful coastal location and sleek modern appearance, demanded a robust fascia and soffit solution that could not only withstand the marine weather conditions, but that would also complement the architectural design aesthetics.
Morris Architects and Dandara worked together in the specification of Skyline Architectural Aluminium from Alumasc. They were very specific in their requirement for a five-piece fascia and soffit system, which needed to work well with the traditional construction of Edinburgh House.
Skyline Architectural Aluminium is a market-leading collection of fascia and soffit solutions with a proven track record across many of the UK's high-profile buildings. Manufactured in the UK from superior lightweight aluminium, Skyline's high-quality aesthetic complemented the building design perfectly, whilst also achieving budget expectations.
The Skyline technical team made numerous site visits during the course of the project, providing full drawings, sectional details, full schematic layouts, samples and a full take-off service. The Skyline five-piece fascia and soffit system was installed on all three buildings, with Skyline copings used on each parapet and around the perimeter of all top roofing areas. All products were colour co-ordinated with Alumasc's BBA approved polyester powder coating in Mouse Grey RAL7005M.
To complete the rainwater management solution, Flushjoint downpipes from Alumasc Rainwater were specified for all three buildings. Flushjoint is a contemporary range of extruded aluminium downpipes with concealed spigots which give a smooth, clean finish to blend perfectly with the minimalist façade. The Flushjoint system was supplied with a CP40 circular downpipe profile, BBA approved polyester powder coated in white, to colour match the building exterior. Flushjoint is inherently lightweight and easy to install.
The aluminium used in the manufacture of both Skyline and Flushjoint is 100% recyclable.

Gatic Slotdrain chosen for Avianca Hangar Expansion
Gatic Slotdrain chosen for Avianca Hangar Expansion
The recent expansion of the Avianca Cargo hangar at Bogotá El Dorado International Airport in Columbia, required a drainage solution which would endure the demands of a busy aviation hub. The project, which marks a key construction milestone for the country this year, included the installation of over half a kilometre of Gatic UltraSlot from Alumasc Water Management Solutions (AWMS).
In recent years, Ecuador's cargo transport industry has seen 20% growth, with a resulting increase in the use of Bogotá El Dorado International Airport. During this time, Avianca Cargo has developed the use of El Dorado as its main hub, leading to the expansion of its hangar facilities at the airport.
Bogotá El Dorado International is the main gateway into Columbia and the third-largest airport in Latin America in terms of traffic volume. Rainfall in Bogotá is relatively high, with the wettest season lasting more than eight months; so the performance of the chosen drainage solution was detrimental to the efficient, smooth running of the new facility on a daily basis. The project was approved by renowned aviation engineering firm, Aertec, and delivered on behalf of Opain SA, the infrastructure specialist responsible for the management and operation of the airport.
Gatic's technical team provided specialised, tailored technical support from the outset, ensuring the UltraSlot system met all the regulatory standards laid out in the project specification. Due to its high rainwater drainage capabilities, and suitability for use in areas of heavy, slow-moving traffic, UltraSlot was installed across all of the aircraft parking areas, further supported by the additional use of ductile iron covers and gratings.
UltraSlot is designed for use in external concrete areas subject to F900 loading, by ensuring sufficient depth of concrete over the main body of the system to withstand ultra-heavy-duty loads. It also presents minimal maintenance costs and has no moving or removable parts, which ensures long-lasting performance, positioning Gatic's market-leading system as the preferred solution across airports worldwide.
Gatic UltraSlot carries the following system certifications:
EN 1433: European standard for drainage channels in vehicular and pedestrian areas, classifying loads from A15 to F900
ISO 9001: Recognized standard for product quality improvement and manufacturing process quality
UltraSlot units are available from 100 to 600mm wide; the largest unit having a storage capacity of 405 l/m. The range offers these additional benefits:
Quick installation times
Maximum intake
Impact resistance
Tamper resistance
Reduced maintenance costs
The range can be installed in areas likely to experience extreme temperatures, and when installed in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations, should perform for the lifetime of the site.
A comprehensive range of grates and covers is available to suit every conceivable system design, supplied with locking bolts for additional safety and security. A 'treadsafe' option is also available, which makes the channels safe to cross when used in areas subject to high foot traffic.
