Flame Retardant Debris Netting supports major façade upgrade in London
ITP’s Powerclad Flame Retardant Debris Netting was chosen to provide air-permeable scaffold containment for a façade refurbishment at 9 Albert Embankment, a high-rise apartment block on the south bank of the River Thames in London.
Also known as Salamanca Square, 9 Albert Embankment was built by Berkeley Homes in 2000. The development comprises 203 properties situated in one the capital’s most vibrant areas of regeneration, stretching from Lambeth Bridge down to Vauxhall Bridge. Two decades on from their original construction, the buildings have received a façade upgrade from a specialist contractor.
To support construction, Connolly Scaffolding supplied and installed an extensive scaffold solution including Powerclad Flame Retardant Debris Netting. ITP launched the product earlier this year as the only debris netting on the market which is independently certified to meet T62 flame retardancy standards in any colour.
Suitable for all tube and fitting and modular scaffold systems, Powerclad Flame Retardant Debris Netting is supplied with unique identification to confirm full flame retardancy certification from an approved body, with each roll showing the certificate number which stays on the material. The netting is available in white, blue, green, red and black as standard, with other colours available on request.
ITP Account Manager, Howard Jackon, said:
“We’re delighted to supply our debris netting at 9 Albert Embankment in support of Connolly Scaffolding, a highly regarded contractor with a growing portfolio of award-winning projects. In the short time since its launch, our Powerclad Flame Retardant Debris Netting has attracted orders on a range of major projects. I’m sure the product is going to be in high demand for developments of this nature as its certification label provides peace of mind in demonstrating authentic and unambiguous compliance for use in the construction or refurbishment of high-rise buildings and projects over a certain value. We have introduced this labelling to provide greater clarity in fire safety identification for the benefit of HSE inspectors, contractors, developers and scaffold specialists. This type of labelling is not currently compulsory within the industry, but we believe it should be as some products on the market come with fire safety markings that can be misleading in relation to TS 62 and TS 63 certification.”
