IDEXX Legiolert® Receives NF Validation Certification by AFNOR for Legionella pneumophila Testing
IDEXX, the global experts in water microbiology, today announced that the Legiolert® test, used for the rapid, confirmed enumeration of Legionella pneumophila in hot and cold sanitary water and cooling tower water, has been granted the NF Validation by AFNOR Certification, under the reference No IDX 33/06 – 06/19. The AFNOR Certification follows a study that was carried by independent expert laboratories. The performance of the Legiolert method was judged equivalent to the performance of standard EN ISO 11731, used worldwide and NF T90-431, used in France. The trial results involving 14 laboratories showed good reproducibility of the method and data from the study was then subjected to rigorous scrutiny by an expert committee made up of stakeholders from regulatory authorities, users from public, private and industrial 4

laboratories, and manufacturers. The IDEXX Legiolert test is a rapid method for the detection of Legionella pneumophila, the primary causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease. It was launched in Europe in 2017 by IDEXX to complement its portfolio of water microbiology testing solutions for the monitoring of water within buildings and facilities, and to assist in the simplification of testing and reduce the risk posed by Legionnaires’ disease. “This recognition allows laboratories to adopt the method without extensive costly and timeconsuming validations. And not only in France, NF Validation is well accepted in Europe but also further afield in countries such as Canada and in Africa,” commented Andrew Headland, Associate Director, IDEXX. “The advantages that Legiolert has over current tests in terms
of speed, accuracy and ease of use can be potentially life-saving and have been recognised in a number of independent studies.” The IDEXX Legiolert test is a culture method based on a bacterial enzyme detection technology that signals the presence of Legionella pneumophila through utilisation of a substrate present in the Legiolert reagent. Legionella pneumophila cells grow rapidly and reproduce using the rich supply of amino acids, vitamins and other nutrients present in the Legiolert reagent. Actively growing strains of Legionella pneumophila use the added substrate to produce a brown colour indicator. Legiolert detects Legionella pneumophila within 7 days at 1 organism in a 100 ml sample for potable water and at 100 organisms in a 100 ml non-potable sample, such as cooling tower water. www.idexx.com

Artic… Our Eco-Friendly Office! Artic have recently been making some small changes to contribute to an Eco-friendlier workplace. Recent research found that more than a third of young professionals valued working for a caring and responsible employer over earning a higher salary. “Supporting the environment and making simple and effective changes in the office is just a small contribution we can make. If all SME’s
www.twitter.com/BFM_Magazine
make small changes, we can hopefully slow down the climate change catastrophe and become more energy efficient” says Managing Director Colin Trowell. Recycling is an important initiative that should be optimised in the workplace, the changes we have implemented at Artic involve an all-round effort from staff and we are all held accountable for recycling.” Artic have adapted their office environment, from a ‘no bin’ policy with recycling bins around the office, clearly labelled for what can go into them to implementing systems such as car sharing and purchasing stationary that supply recycled products only. The engineering side of the business is already highly focused
on environmental and energy savings. It was a natural evolution that our Head office followed suit. Recycling at work reduces the amount of waste that goes into landfill sites and contributes to the prevention of global warming. Protecting the environment will always be at the top of the list for Artic Building Services. www.articbuildingservices.com

How to Implement an Effective Office Recycling Solution, Sustainably Recycling is an effective way to reduce the impact your organisation has on the environment - but it’s often perceived to be difficult to implement. Here Method will teach you how to implement and manage an effective recycling program in your office or workplace; and importantly how to engage your employees. Make it visible
Educate & engage
the new process on their own accord.
Visibility is one of the key factors to the success of workplace recycling initiatives. Traditionally ugly recycling bins are hidden in the corner or in a cupboard - out of sight, out of mind. Conversely, having recycling bins out in the open plan of modern spaces reminds users to consider their waste behaviours while increasing the convenience of recycling compared to general waste options. This can also be enhanced by colour coding bins with bright colours that help them to stand out while complementing aesthetics. Visibility also increases accountability, being out in the open people are more likely to consider where their waste should go, even subconsciously. Method aren’t encouraging you to police your coworkers, however, the idea of being seen can often be motivation enough. Further, by having bins out in the open they become a visible statement of your organisation’s commitment to recycling and sustainability.
There’s a lot of benefits to be had from updating recycling facilities within a space, but the results can be accelerated by continuously educating and engaging your team. This can be difficult as many of the reasons individuals are motivated to recycle at home are missing in the workplace; such as reducing the cost of waste disposal or having a continuous feedback loop where they can see how much they are wasting. Here are some fun ideas to educate and engage your team about recycling: • Create a ‘Green Team’ who plan, execute and communicate recycling and sustainability initiatives • Create a competition to see which team in your organisation can reduce their general waste the most and reward the winning team • Continuously identify key contaminants or issues and include education in regular staff comms - tackle one at a time and they are more likely to absorb it • Ask for feedback! Ask them what they need or want, do they need more bins or should they be relocated? Keep them involved and engaged • Find out more ideas in Method’s online journal One Method customer gave each team member that sacrificed their desk bin a free sustainability gift bag, to ensure the staff were buying into
Measure what matters
Keep it consistent Changing recycling and waste systems can often take users time to adapt. However, if it’s consistent and clear throughout a workspace or building users adapt quickly and it soon becomes unconscious. Method recommends removing desk bins and bins hidden in cupboards and instead implementing desktop precyclers, and recycling and waste stations frequently throughout a space.

It’s important to continually measure and assess your recycling and waste systems. It allows you to identify areas of concern and report on your successes. Diversion from landfill or incineration is a great way to measure your success, it shows how many resources you have captured and kept from becoming waste. Greenwashing is becoming increasingly prevalent so regular monitoring is a great way to communicate what you’re doing to stakeholders.
Discover the new Method for yourself Method are helping organisations around the world to recycle more and waste less. Including the Sydney Cricket Ground, world-renowned architecture firm Foster + Partners and large London coworking provider The Office Group. Method are an award-winning company who have continued to find success with their designer bins and leading philosophy of Open Plan Recycling.

‘Royal’ Endorsement for Accessible Space Accessibility can be achieved irrespective of space and budgetary constraints. The Royal Cornwall Showground, in Wadebridge, is the latest to prove that provision of ‘bigger and better’ wheelchair-accessible toilet facilities, that offer more space, and additional equipment, can be practically delivered. It has opened a Space to Change toilet facility within its exiting toilet block by the main exhibition halls at the showground’s Events Centre. Supplied and installed by Closomat, the Space to Change gives people who need help to ‘go’ when away from home- be it with support of a carer or additional equipment- an appropriate facility. It provides 7.5m2 of space to accommodate user, wheelchair and carer, plus a peninsular WC with support arms, ceiling track hoist, wall-mounted adult-sized height adjustable changing bench, height adjustable washbasin, and privacy screen. It compliments seven conventional wheelchairaccessible WCs already on site. “It is part of our corporate ethos to provide access for one and all,” explained Oli Old, showground manager. “We wanted to improve our accessibility offering. Research online and with other venues persuaded us to use Closomat, for the company’s equipment and
10

experience in the sector. It devised a solution so we could refurbish and remodel an existing disabled WC within the toilet block, to create an assisted, accessible WC facility that delivered all the additional space and equipment required, within the available budget. It enables people who otherwise would have had to curtail their visit , or not come at all, because of lack of suitable toilets, can now visit, and enjoy any of the 300+ events we offer all year round.” Adds Claire Haymes, Closomat CDM Compliance & Project CoOrdinator, “Royal Cornwall is the latest venue to prove that many existing wheelchair-accessible toilet facilities can be even more accessible, without significant capital investment. They already have a space: they just need the additional equipment. We developed the Space to Change concept in partnership with campaigners for this very reason: it is an acceptable compromise on providing a full Changing Places, which requires more m2. It opens venues to
people who are restricted on where they can go, how long they can stay, purely because they cannot use a conventional wheelchair-accessible toilet.” Space to Change toilets plug the gap between conventional (Building Regulations Approved Document M 2013) wheelchair-accessible toilets, and the ‘desirable’, additional, larger and better equipped Changing Places+ toilets. The concept enables venues that are limited financially and/or on space to meet the needs of up to five million British children and adults* who need changing and lifting facilities for their personal hygiene. It encompasses as a minimum a 7m2+ (3m x 2.5m min) wheelchair-accessible toilet that further includes an adult-sized changing bench and a hoist. Closomat has become the ‘go to’ company for away from home assisted accessible toilets. It was the original sponsor of the Changing Places campaign a decade ago; its website www.closomat.co.uk is an exemplar resource for campaigners, providers and specifiers alike, with a raft of support information including white papers, calling cards, CAD blocks, video and case studies. Uniquely, the company can provide an in-house, ‘one- stopshop’ complete package, from design and commissioning, through to project management, supply and installation. It is also unique in being able to additionally provide subsequent maintenance and repair. www.closomat.co.uk

How ProEconomy’s Advanced Water Treatment and Management Service Is Revolutionising Hotel Legionella Control Used for food production, drinking, showering, cleaning, laundry, air conditioning and for guest facilities such as pools and hot tubs, water can be found almost everywhere in the everyday running of hotels and holiday resorts. As a result, water safety and compliance are vital for hotels to maintain their reputation and keep staff and visitors safe. This is where ProEconomy come in. Thanks to their advanced water treatment and management service, ProEconomy are taking the stress out of facilities managers’ lives and revolutionising hotel water treatment.
The Most Advanced Water Treatment ProEconomy’s Orca copper silver ionisation system has successfully controlled Legionella in every site it has been installed

in, including some large hotels. By destroying biofilm, the underlying cause of Legionella and other water borne bacteria, it is proven to not just eradicate Legionella but also prevent water borne pathogens from returning. Additionally, the Orca system has no COSSH issues and is safe to handle, making it a safer alternative to other water treatment modalities and avoiding potential harm of hotel
guests and the environment. In a recent peer reviewed scientific paper published in the American Journal of Infection Control, it has been demonstrated that it is possible to control Legionella independent of temperature when an Orca copper silver ionisation system is introduced into a new building in conjunction with an appropriately managed water system. Therefore, the Orca system facilitates 100% Legionella control and allows new build hotels to reduce energy consumption and, in turn, save money. ProEconomy have installed their Orca system in a wide range of premises. This includes prestigious hotels including The Lygon Arms Hotel and Peebles Hydro Hotel, some of the largest hospitals in the UK, such as Great Ormond Street Hospital, The Royal Free and Addenbrookes Hospital and some

Tetras: From Outlet To Internet ProEconomy are adding to their water treatment service by revolutionising the way water samples are collected, tracked and analysed with their new, cloudbased water management system, Tetras. From barcoding outlets to taking samples and recording everything on the Cloud, Tetras does it all. ProEconomy have the sampling resources, as well as the software experience, needed to take the stress out of water management. Once a water sample is collected by City and Guilds accredited samplers, a UKAS approved laboratory will analyse the sample’s water quality. Then, unlike other outsourced sampling companies, www.twitter.com/BFM_Magazine
ProEconomy take it one step further. After sampling, the laboratory scans barcodes, that have been added to the sample bottle, and uploads all sample results into a client’s easy to use online dashboard. Here, clients can trend analysis results of individual outlets over time, graph site wide water quality, store certificates of analysis, create custom alerts and view results in real time, as soon as they are analysed. There’s even the option to download colour coded Excel spreadsheets of your results if that’s the format you prefer. The whole purpose of Tetras is to combine a bespoke water management system with advanced outlet sampling in order to achieve compliance for clients. Sites have full transparent access, from individual sample details to site-wide results, so any water issues are detected, and therefore treated, before further contamination occurs.
How Are ProEconomy Revolutionising Hotel Water Treatment? Admittedly, there are other water treatment and sampling companies out there. But, there are none like ProEconomy. Rather than having separate companies for water treatment and water sampling, ProEconomy allow you to seamlessly unify the two. Say goodbye to hordes of paper used for organising water hygiene and say hello to an easy to use, online system that simplifies the water management game by harmonising the journey from outlet to internet without a scrap of paper in sight. Tetras comes free with the purchase of ProEconomy’s Orca copper silver ionisation system or can be purchased and integrated with any control modality for just £20 per sample. On The Cover

Rinnai - Top Tips Service & Maintenance for Economical, Long Working Life of Hot Water Heating Units Pete Seddon of Rinnai lists the most important points of ensuring that continuous flow hot water heating units are well serviced and maintained to ensure the longest possible and most economical working life. There are two very distinct perspectives on the service and maintenance of continuous flow hot water heating units and systems that of the end user and the one of the installer/contractors. Firstly, we will look at the installer’s viewpoint. • Make sure of the exact make and model of the appliance before you attend the call. Varying appliances require different service routines. With Rinnai appliances we recommend that a
service kit for every appliance is taken and utilised for every service visit. This will also help you to plan the correct amount of time for the job in hand. • Obtain service and install manuals wherever possible. This goes in hand with the above. This will allow you to see the routine that is required. You should be able to acquire this information from the manufacturer and at the same time you can also speak to a member of the technical department to get a better understanding of the servicing routine. • Compliance. If you have never been to the site before it is always worth checking over the installation to ensure the installation complies with regulations and manufacturer’s instructions. Sadly, there are still some sites where the installation and the appliances that do not follow regulations or a manufacturer’s explicit instructions. This could have impact on the performance of the appliances as well as the longevity of the system/ appliance. If you think something is not quite right, we advise that you should inform the customer and make them fully aware. • Water Treatment. There are a lot of areas in the UK that require water treatment for hard water. If you know the area requires Lime Scale protection check that the site has it fitted. There are still a lot of sites that do not have any protection fitted but are in hard water areas. Lime Scale is a problem that can, if not treated properly, have huge consequences with appliances, systems and health. If you are unsure of the area you can check the Local Water Authority or call the manufacturers Technical Department for
16
HVAC
advice. At Rinnai UK our website does have a Water Hardness check and we can check the Water Authority for you as well - all we need is the area and postcode. Ultimately if there is no protection fitted, but there should be, then advise the customer of this and make them aware of the potential but probable problems that will ensue. • Detail your work. It is always worth noting down what work has been carried out. If gas pressures must be checked then note them down. If parts must be changed, note what parts have been changed. By just putting “Serviced the Appliance” down on the report may not constitute a proper service has been carried out in the eyes of the manufacturer and could impact on the customers warranty. • Technical Advice. If, after all the above, there is still something you are unsure about or you want to double check, call the Technical Department of the manufacturer. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Rinnai UK actively encourages questions and discussion, this way you can get peace and good practise. At the end of the day we are here to help you as much as possible. And there is no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to safety and a gas fired appliance. For the end user or owner: • Always understand what type of equipment you have, the manufacturer of that equipment and the service requirements and frequencies. Different appliances will have different service requirements at various intervals. It is always beneficial to find this information out because it can impact on the warranty. • Where possible use engineers who are familiar with the appliances. It is always worth contacting the manufacturer direct. With Rinnai UK we have a list of engineers who have undertaken training and are familiar with the Rinnai products. Majority of, if not all, other manufacturers will either
Building & Facilities Management – August 2019
HVAC
have the same or have their own engineers. By utilising engineers who know the appliances you will have confidence that the servicing will be carried out correctly. • Always plan. It is always beneficial to find out when your appliances are due and to book them in a few weeks in advance. If you leave it too late you may not be able to get an engineer when you want them. This way to can plan it around your requirements. For example, if your business was dependant on the appliance you would be best planning this in when it was the quietest period or on days when it is not so dependant. • Paperwork. Ensure you keep hold of all your records of servicing. You should get a service report from the company who serviced the appliance, if you don’t make sure you request one. This is your proof that the servicing has been carried out. Without this paperwork if your appliance ever developed a fault during its warranty period you might be refused the warranty without this proof of service.

When is an insurance report not an insurance report? When is an insurance report not an insurance report? Answer: when it’s a LOLER. It’s not the kind of riveting question that will get you going at your local pub quiz but the issue of insurance and LOLER reports is something we are asked about on a regular basis. What is an insurance report? What is a LOLER? Why do we need one? What happens if we do not have one? Let’s start with what they are. Though many people refer to insurance reports, the reality is that no such report is used in the lift industry. In most cases when someone mentions an ‘insurance report’, the actual report being referred to is a LOLER report and the confusion tends to arise because in many instances the inspection is carried out by someone from an insurance company. The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, or LOLER for short, apply to all lifts provided for use in work activities. The regulations require that applicable lifts be subject to a thorough examination at regular intervals; in the case of passenger carrying lifts this is usually no more than six months. Being a regulation, compliance is a legal requirement for any applicable lifts. The HSE’s definition of a thorough examination is a; “Systematic and detailed examination of the lift and all its associated equipment by a competent person. Its aim is to detect any defects which are, or might become, dangerous, and for the competent person to report them to the duty holder and, if appropriate, the enforcing authority (the Health and Safety Executive or Local authority) so that appropriate remedial action can be taken”. They go on to define a competent person as being; “someone who has sufficient and practical knowledge of the lift to be able to detect any defects…” and who is; “sufficiently 18
Health & Safety
independent and impartial to allow them to make an objective assessment of the lift.” For this reason, there is general consensus that these inspections should not be carried out by the incumbent maintenance contractor for the lift and in the absence of an alternative many insurance companies began offering the inspections as an additional service, therefore becoming known as insurance reports. So thorough inspections under LOLER are therefore essentially a six-monthly MOT for lifts. Fine I hear you say, but why do we need one? Our building is a residential apartment block not an office building. People live here rather than work here. That may be true, the HSE does suggest that LOLER may not apply in buildings where a passenger lift is not used by people for work; however, there are still a number of reasons why LOLER could well apply. Staffed residential buildings will often fall under the category of workplace for those working within it. The employing of concierges, contract cleaners, building maintenance teams etc. will all qualify your building as a workplace, meaning that it can fall under the LOLER requirements. However, even buildings without dedicated staff can fall under LOLER if they are owned by a landlord and feature rented or leased apartments. So too can buildings that are managed by a managing agent. In short, the nature of LOLER and the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 is such that there are very few instances in which the acts would not apply. It is important to reiterate that the undertaking of LOLER inspections
is a statutory requirement. But just as important is ensuring that you act upon the recommendations of the report and keep adequate records of both the reports themselves and any works arising from them. Recent inquests into a number of tragic accidents involving lifts have highlighted the risks associated with failing to correctly manage these inspections and the resulting recommendations. There was no suggestion that a lack of inspections themselves caused these accidents. However, in each case it was pointed out that through either a lack of inspections or the failure to act upon the recommendations, valuable warning signs were missed, which may have played a part. Administering LOLER reports is one of the most important elements of lift management. Identifying timed defects and establishing that remedial works are completed within the permitted periods are essential to ensuring that your lifts remain compliant with current legislative requirements. There is no doubt that this can sometimes be a daunting task, especially on larger lift portfolios. Whether any remedial works are covered by your maintenance provider will depend upon the individual contract in place and finding the best price for items not covered is not always easy. If you are unsure about the need for LOLER inspections for your lifts, get in touch with of our specialists for a free telephone consultation on 01206 399555, or via our website. www.liftconsultants.co.uk

Viega’s Press Connection Technology Provides Modern Solution for Engineering Training Facility Viega has supplied its German engineered press connection technology to the development of a new state-of-the-art engineering centre at Coleg Menai’s Llangefni campus. The construction of the new facility, which will help train the next generation of engineers has utilised Viega’s Profipress copper piping connections as well as the industry first Megapress solution for thick-walled steel tube across the hot and cold water and heating systems. The £13.6m centre for engineering excellence, named Canolfan STeM, was officially opened by the First Minister of Wales in spring 2019. The centre will provide training to over 1500 learners of all ages, from school enrollments to higher and further education courses, to work based learning and commercial clients. With a wealth of employment opportunities expected to be created by energy and infrastructure projects being proposed for North Wales, Grŵp Llandrillo Menai identified an opportunity to make Coleg Menai’s Llangefni campus a nationally recognised campus for supporting industry. Spanning 4612m2 over three floors, Canolfan STeM features workshops, Mechanical Systems & Electrical Training, CAD Suites, IT based training classrooms and a second floor glazed refectory featuring breathtaking panoramic views of Snowdonia. Viega’s Profipress connections for copper pipe were used across the centre’s domestic hot and cold water (DHCW) and drinking water systems. Specialist M&E contractor AJ Field selected the Viega system in consultation with Capita who provided M&E consultancy on the project and merchant Smith Brothers Stores (SBS) Merseyside. David Sanders, Mechanical Operations Manager at AJ Field explained: “We had used press 20
Building & Refurbishment
connection systems previously and while the speed and simplicity of the install was a big advantage we had experienced some issues with reliability. On a project such as this we had to ensure that the fittings would perform as intended to prevent costly remedial work after the building was completed. Quality at each stage was a key focus for RL Davies Construction, the main contractor on the project. SBS was able to show us the particular benefits of the Viega system and we were convinced by what we saw. The SC-Contur feature was a major factor in our selection of the system.” Viega’s patented SC-Contur technology, included in press connections across its range, is designed to deliver a 100% positive leak if the fitting is inadvertently unpressed – clearly discernible during leakage testing or when the system is filled for the first time. This ensures a reliable method of detecting these issues early in the process. In addition to the copper pipework, thick-walled steel tube was specified to provide enhanced durability for the new building’s heating system. Viega’s Megapress system allows press connections to be used on thick-walled steel and provides between a 60% and 80% time saving compared with alternatives such as welding, grooving or threading tube. Graham Foster, Area Sales Manager at SBS Merseyside explained: “The AJ Field team had originally intended to use screw and socket fittings however when we looked at the plans and requirements we recognised that the Megapress
system would be ideal.” A range of Megapress fittings were used during the installation of the low pressure hot water (LPHW) heating system, including the latest addition, Megapress S. The unique innovation allows larger sized tube with diameters between 2½ and 4 inches to be press connected. Furthermore, the construction of Canolfan STeM is intended to serve as an illustration of modern construction techniques and engineering technology. As such, sections of the pipework will be left exposed to provide an installed example of the systems that students will be trained to use. David Sanders added: “From the start of the project we looked for systems and solutions that represent the cutting edge of modern construction. We have been thoroughly impressed with not only the Viega systems but also the product training and support we have received throughout the project from the merchant.” Scott James, Director at Viega concluded: “We are delighted to have been able to contribute to the success of a development that will have such an important impact not only for Coleg Menai and the local area but also the future of industry.” To find out more about Viega’s range of solutions visit: www.viega.co.uk.

P C Henderson Specified for Luxury Restaurant at the Intercontinental Hotel in Bali Indonesia based sliding and folding door hardware provider – P.T. Roda Bangun Mandiri – has recently specified P C Henderson for a sliding door hardware project at the Intercontinental Hotel in Bali. The Taman Gita Restaurant, based within the hotel, has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment project which has given the restaurant a completely new look. The restaurant reopened its famous doors last year and now features an elegant, contemporary interior - accented with Balinese ornaments, high ceilings and monumental pillars. Roda worked with interior design and consultancy businesses - Arcadis and PT. Caturgriya Naradipa - to specify a sliding door system which could hold two large partition doors separating the dining area of the restaurant from the open plan kitchen. Measuring the full ceiling height of 5.4m, with a width of 1.4m the doors were extremely heavy - weighing approximately 230kg each. A system was required which could
comfortably hold such large and heavy doors whilst also ensuring a smooth and effortless operation. P C Henderson’s Soltaire 250 sliding door hardware was specified as the best system for the project. With a maximum capacity of 250kg, the system comfortably supports the weight of the doors and utilises its low friction technology to provide a smooth fingertip operation. Components from P C Henderson’s Telescopic system were also applied - allowing the two doors to traverse in a telescopic motion in front of a fixed panel. The restaurant make over is part of a much wider refurbishment project, P C Henderson’s Husky sliding door hardware was also specified for 300 plus hotel rooms at the resort. Bernardus Rizky, Head of Sales and Marketing at P.T. Roda Bangun Mandiri commented “Roda has
been a distributor of P C Henderson products since our establishment in 1974 and so we have a lot of confidence and experience in the quality of the product. Originally the contractor had specified a different brand of sliding door hardware but it was soon discovered that it would not support the extremities of the project brief. We were in no doubt that a P C Henderson system would be able to fulfill the project requirements exactly. “Soltaire is an extremely smooth system. The heavy doors are able to be moved with minimal effort and zero friction – proving the quality of the hardware used”. P C Henderson’s Soltaire system is available for doors weighing up to 120kg, 180kg and 250kg. Available in kit pack format or individual specified components – the system is extremely flexible in the type of projects it can cater for. Made from 316 stainless steel, the system is available for interior and exterior applications, providing high levels of corrosion resistance. For further information visit www.pchenderson.com

Facilities for the Disabled
Emerald Headingly Scores a ‘First’ for Accessability Emerald Headingley Stadium has become what is believed to the UK’s first multi sport international venue to be fully accessible- at least as far as its toilets are concerned. As part of the venue’s £45m masterplan to become one of the finest sports venues in the world, the stadium has installed two Changing Places assisted accessible toilet facilities. The Changing Places give more space (12m2) and, alongside the usual fixtures of WC and washbasin, feature additional equipment- specifically a ceiling track hoist and adult-sized height adjustable changing bench, both of which have been supplied and installed by Closomat for G&H Building Services. It means that fans of cricket and rugby- with or without disabilities- can go and watch matches including the ICC Cricket World Cup and Super
26
Facilities for the Disabled
League, and be able to use the toilet when needed. To optimise ease for those fans with disabilities, the Changing Places have been strategically positioned on each of the main concourses of the North and South Stands. Says Kelvin Grimes, Closomat away from home project manager, “Campaigners have worked hard to get these Changing Places included in the redevelopment. To
our knowledge, no other international sports stadium outside of Wembley has such, permanent toilets(*). Let’s hope that others now follow Emerald Headingley’s example and try to include fans of all abilities.” Under British Standards (BS8300:2015), it is best practice to provide a Changing Places toilet in addition to conventional accessible facilities in buildings where the public spend time. The Government is also reviewing making them an obligatory requirement in new buildings or major refurbishments. Closomat has become the leader in the design, supply, installation and subsquent maintenance of Changing Places; its website www.closomat.co.uk is now the ;go to’ location for support information for all involved in the specification and build process, with NBS specifications, CAD blocks, white papers and guidance notes all available for free download. info@clos-o-mat.com, www.closomat.co.uk

Bisley demonstrate stylish ways of working in new Bray showroom Bisley demonstrate stylish ways of working in new Bray showroom. Following on from the successful opening of their new showroom in Clerkenwell, Bisley’s investment in their showrooms continues with a full refurbishment of the showroom in Bray, Ireland. Situated just South of Dublin on the edge of charming County Wicklow, the showroom, which originally opened in 2009, has been transformed to demonstrate the evolution of Bisley and new landscapes for all types of office work such as communal, concentrated, formal and informal meetings and agile working. The design, by Bisley’s Showroom and Interior Designer Jeanine Goddard along with Denise Clemenger, Bisley Ireland Sales Manager, displays the full extent of

the Bisley portfolio, along with selected items from other furniture partners. At Bisley’s core is intelligent and stylish storage and stowage, which has been used to define zones of functional and inspiring working spaces. Denise Clemenger said: “We’ve created a space that is not only capable of changing perceptions of Bisley and what storage can do, but one which employees can identify with and feel at home in. With an industrial feel and an emphasis on creating a choice of spaces for different activities, the showroom may be surprising to customers
that have not followed Bisley’s latest product developments.” The showroom showcases the extent of Bisley’s design and finish capabilities through the sunny and welcoming guest area to the equally bright team/territorial working area with sitstand desks and personal storage. Both areas incorporate vibrant yellows and greens, through

to a calm, neutral agile working area which features luxurious oak cladding and energy-giving greenery. The far side of the showroom, which is close to the kitchen, is perfect for networking, informal meetings and breaks with a large solid oak dining table and a lounge style seating area with warming pops of on-trend pink. Both are in their own quiet setting, secluded from hustle and bustle by a bank of lodges. At the heart of the showroom is a large, raised room made of tactile oriented strand board. Designed by Alex Simpson from Campbell Simpson Architects, it continues the urban feel and creates a focal point; the height giving the showroom an extra dimension. The box will act like a stage on which new products, project mock-ups or exhibitions can be showcased. Paul Dunne, Managing Director at Bisley Ireland said: “We’ve gone from a fairly standard open-plan office/showroom www.twitter.com/BFM_Magazine
to something that is unique and visually stunning; it’s a space that truly presents Bisley as the market leader it is and one that proves we can provide first class workplace solutions. I know the team is finding the variety of working spaces incredibly useful and customers who have already visited have been quite
amazed with the changes we have made and the breadth of our portfolio. The new showroom is a physical manifestation of the knowledge and experience Bisley has gathered over decades of manufacturing and fitting-out high-end workplaces.” www.bisley.co.uk Interiors
