Fire Safety Improvements and Cladding Replacements.
Following the Grenfell disaster, iQ Student Accommodation required a project manager to deliver investigative works and cladding replacement works to their large buildings, all within a tight deadline. This meant extremely tight milestones and driving multiple teams across multiple projects across the UK to ensure that the projects are delivered on time whilst meeting the new legislative criteria for external cladding systems. Key projects have included:
Fire Door and Fire Compartment Upgrading and Repairs
Full fire door and compartmentation surveys of various buildings nationwide and production of full schedule of works.
Marlborough House, Bristol
High pressure laminate cladding replacement. Fulkers witnessed surveys with the designers and concluded that the cladding consisted of fire rated high-pressure laminate and was installed above 18m which did not comply with building regulations at the time of construction.
High pressure laminate cladding replacement.
iQ Costume is a very large building ranging from 13 to 18 stories. The cladding comprises of none fire rated HPL and cavity walls that contain phenolic insulation and missing fire cavity barriers which creates a serious fire risk to the building’s tenants
Will Wyatt
High Pressure laminate cladding replacement. This project is a large building with a central courtyard. The buildings cladding consisted of none fire rated HPL cladding and was over 18m.
Tufnell
High pressure laminate cladding replacement This project is over 18m in height and has multiple heights and blocks. The buildings cladding consists of HPL cladding, spandrel panels containing phenolic insulation and terra cotta tiles with phenolic insulation behind.
Fiveways
ACM cladding replacement. A six-story building taller than 18m, but not falling into the under 18m category due to the last floor slab of the building being under. However, this guidance is continuously changing and surveys flagged that the cladding was defectively installed and contained a rotten timber support system.
Costume
Greystar is a large multi nation rental residential property company and in the UK they have the brand ‘Chapter’ which provides Student accommodation to the private market. The Chapter brand provides an exclusive student living experience with unparalleled amenities.
