Investigation methods carried out during Sika鈥檚 concrete assessment service include a visual survey of corrosion damage; dust sample analysis for chloride content and concrete resistivity mapping.
  

Suspension system
Armstrong Ceilings has announced the launch of the TLS grid system. Its launch comes in response to customer research that showed installers were looking for a system that was faster to install and demount, more stable and durable and more solid for maintenance. The company claims the TLS is ideal for commercial applications because the ergonomic design of the pre-shaped Prelude 24mm TLS cross tee ensures it is faster to install and demount from the universal main runner.

Heating cables
Industrial heating specialist Pentair has introduced the low-smoke zero halogen (LSZH) self-regulating heating cable range. The cables have been designed to offer efficient pipe-freeze protection. Available in extended heating circuit lengths up to 215m, the pipes feature a low bend radius of only 10mm, which the firm says helps users to tightly fit the cable on pipe runs with many angles. The company claims the new range is ideal for use within commercial buildings as it offers particular building safety, thanks to a new LSZH jacket material.

Fan units
Vent-Axia has supplied its Lo-Carbon T-Series fan as part of an office fit-out for a green building charity requiring improved ventilation. The Lo-Carbon T-Series has been installed in windows and a partition wall. The company claims the Lo-Carbon T-Series fan was chosen because energy efficiency was key for this project, and a low-carbon unit was essential. Now completed, the company claimed the project has achieved the lowest embodied carbon footprint ever recorded for an office refurbishment in the UK, with the embodied carbon footprint 22% below a comparable 鈥渟tandard鈥� fit-out.
