Rosewood on white foiled PVC-U windows have been manufactured and supplied by Total Glass to a sheltered housing scheme in Liverpool for one of their long standing customers. The social housing fenestration specialist also supplied composite doors and PVC fire exit doors as part of an extensive refurbishment project at St Cyril’s Court, Netherley for their client Plus Dane Housing. Replacing original single-glazed timber windows, the new ‘A’-rated windows have improved thermal-efficiency, security and aesthetics at the 43 flats and 29 bungalows in the complex. One of the residents, Raymond Ambrose said the new windows were a great improvement, adding: “We were getting constant condensation with the old wooden windows. Our homes are a lot warmer now and the new windows look terrific. “The Total Glass team worked very efficiently and did a very tidy job. Everyone is delighted.” For more information, contact Total Glass on 0151 549 2339 or visit the website at www.totalglass.com. Source link
The Carbon Free Group will challenge visitors to The Build Show at UK Construction Week to think differently and do more to accelerate the decarbonisation of the built environment, and, specifically, housing. The Carbon Free Group does not expect visitors to work alone. Instead, it is encouraging them to get involved in collaborative projects, product and process development and policy review to fast track and de-risk change. To see how a Carbon Free Group collaboration works, visitors should visit stand B750 at The Build Show. Here, visitors will see one of the most exciting innovations of this year’s event: the Tufeco Modular Home. The home has been constructed from Tufeco’s composite panels, which are being launched at the show. These are 3D printed, manufactured offsite and made from recycled glass. Two key benefits of the panels are that they significantly reduce on-site construction times and labour needs; a typical house structure is erected and made airtight in around three days, ready to accept second fix installations. They also require just three semi-skilled installers to complete. However, Tufeco’s modular panels are just one decarbonising element featured on the stand. To bring this product to market, Tufeco has joined forces with global architects Grimshaw, SAM Architects and The Carbon Free Group. Together, they provide a much wider range of decarbonising expertise and experience to identify and deploy a more extensive set of decarbonising solutions. The resulting collaboration, which is being used as a blueprint for a housing scheme in Cromer on the Norfolk coast, has resulted in a low carbon development which: is set in beautiful man-made woodland clusters that focus on native planting and enhanced biodiversity incorporates renewable energy generation, storage, monitoring and trading opportunities incorporates air purifying paints, recycled floor coverings, green roofs and walls. All of these aspects are evidenced on the stand at Construction Week, with Carbon Free Group bringing together a range of organisations to develop a housing proposition. This collaboration creates a synergy which generates results that far exceed those that could have been achieved if the parties had just worked individually. By exhibiting at Construction Week, The Carbon Free Group hopes to attract more innovators to join the movement. Co-founder, Anthony Morgan, also hopes that many housebuilders will use the platform to develop collaborations and test innovations, developing unique collaborations to address specific situations, bringing them to market faster and at less cost and risk than has been experienced before. Explaining the proposition, Anthony Morgan said: “Many UK businesses are falling behind in the race to develop the building systems of the future. The ideas are out there, but all too often our existing culture snuffs out innovation either before it begins or before it can be effectively deployed. Why? Because they are seen as being too expensive; too high risk; too difficult to adopt and the returns are too slow. “Quick to implement, simple solutions get the go-ahead, while more complex, often higher value programmes are side-lined. The Carbon Free Group has been set up to reverse this situation. “Our collaborative approach reduces risk by making investment tax deductible and innovation collaborative. This reduces cost and increases member access to new and exciting ideas and expertise. “We’re keen to talk to Build Show visitors about potential projects, product opportunities, policy developments. We have a number of interesting initiatives coming online, and the more organisations involved, the more impact we’ll achieve. “This is real-world, applied innovation,” he said. About The Carbon Free Group The Carbon Free Group provides a platform for collaboration and connected innovation to accelerate decarbonisation and through which industry will deliver more sustainable, higher performance, lower cost solutions at a deferred risk. The group brings together corporations, SMEs, industry experts, communities and local people to: Solve persistent industry problems Facilitate collaborative working Develop commercially viable solutions Deploy solutions to the market Create circular economy models and Establish funds to support research and development. In pursuing these outcomes, the Carbon Free Group analyses each step of the Technology Readiness Level process to identify and mitigate against risk. This is critical, as risk is a major barrier to innovation, decarbonisation and sustainability. The Build Show The Carbon Free Group will be exhibiting with Tufeco, Grimshaw, and SAM Architects on stand B750 at The Build Show which is part of Construction Week at the NEC Birmingham from 10 – 12 October 2017.

As ports, freight terminals and companies involved in heavy industry applications invest to drive trade post-Brexit, increasing sales of Mantsinen hydraulic cranes and SANY heavy handling equipment are driving growth at Cooper Specialised Handling, which has seen turnover rise to more than £10 million. The UK’s only independent provider of specialised heavy lifting equipment with a capacity of 6-70 tonnes, Cooper Specialised Handling is committed to working in partnership with its customers and some of the world’s top equipment manufacturers to deliver innovative solutions to the most complex handling challenges. Turnover has increased to more than £10 million in the last 12 months enabling Cooper Specialised Handling to build its market share to approximately 60% in some sectors. There has also been some restructuring of the management team with Chris Barnes, who has been with the business for 13 years and heads up the sales function, promoted to Sales Director. Luke Maslin, who joined Cooper Specialised Handling in 2011, takes on the role of Operations Director with responsibility for planning engineering schedules and ensuring that all service and maintenance work is completed in accordance with customer requirements. He also manages direct parts sales. In one of the biggest tenders of its type, Cooper Specialised Handling sealed a series of deals with Associated British Ports for five Mantsinen hydraulic cranes totalling £6 million and supplied a wheeled Mantsinen 160M at Belfast Harbour. Its achievements in helping to re-establish Mantsinen as a force to be reckoned with in the UK marketplace led to Cooper Specialised Handling being named as Mantsinen’s Dealer of the Year, after it emerged as the crane manufacturer’s most successful dealer globally since 2015. Cooper Specialised Handling’s Chief Executive David Cooper said: “More and more businesses are coming to appreciate that the speed and handling precision delivered by Mantsinen’s award-winning crane technology equates to a highly cost-effective way of driving up productivity. “This is a really exciting time to be involved with the Mantsinen brand, especially as there’s growing interest in the new 300 model, which supersedes the Mantsinen 200 as the world’s largest hydraulic crane and features the next generation HybriLift energy-saving technology.” Meanwhile, since taking on the UK distributorship for SANY in 2015, Cooper Specialised Handling has established itself as one of the manufacturer’s most successful dealers in Europe, supplying high specification reachstackers and container handling equipment to major industry operators, including Goldstar Transport, Rail Freight Services and Maritime Transport. As the Cooper Specialised Handling business develops, so demand for quality engineering services is fuelling growth at sister company Cooper Handling Solutions, which is dedicated to providing service, maintenance and spare parts to users of heavy lifting equipment. Cooper Handling Solutions operates its own, directly employed engineering team and is currently recruiting three additional field service technicians as part of a 10-year strategic plan to develop a team of 25 highly skilled ‘big truck’ specialists.
