Healthcare

Public or private, health facilites subject to strong functional, regulatory and economic constraints. Their design must integrate the presence of highly specialized spaces, respond to safety of users and staff and limit maintenance costs.

The diversity of services and functional units in a hospital makes this sector the most complex of building types. Key drylining considerations include:

  • Meeting extraordinary acoustic, fire, impact and hygiene demands
  • Accommodating heavy service demands and mechanical requirements
  • Contributing to the creation of an architecturally impressive building
  • The km volume of partitions to construct

LaDura

LaDura is an alternative to a traditional gypsum fibreboard. Made from gypsum reinforced with wood fibre, it is stronger and harder than other plasterboards giving greater impact and pull out resistance. LaDura combines fire, moisture and impact resistance and provides a superior finish to gypsum fibreboards. It has been designed for durability in busy, high traffic areas which are intensively used, or prone to abnormal or rough use including schools, hospitals and hotel corridors.

Ice Arena Wales

Ice Arena Wales

Ice Arena Wales forms part of the £400m Cardiff International Sports Village development project. With two ice rinks and the capacity to seat 3000 in the largest arena, it has been designed to Olympic standards and will be capable of hosting international events in hockey and figure skating, along with other sports such as speed skating and curling. The Ice Arena will also support the development of the national and international ice sports squads. With the arena footprint over 6000m2, the project required over 23,500m2 of boards and over 22,000 linear metres of metal framing. The project is due for completion in Spring 2016.
