From the Desk

In short, Building Professionals should ensure that products used in the construction of a building conform to our national standards and are certified as such.

In turn, industry players supplying products for the construction of a building must ensure that such products meet our national standards and are certified as such.

The crux of the matter is that the Building Profes-sional enforces the compliances with our national standards in respect of products used on the building site and is not tempted by more cheaply priced products which are not performing accord-ing national standards. A plethora of anecdotical evidence exists citing examples of product failure as a result of not enforcing compliance with our national standards. Not least is the story regard-ing a Building Professional saving some money for his client but allegedly causing the death of thirteen occupants of a building by substituting the specified product which was certified to be suitable for the application.

There are some other points which the Building Professional and other industry players must take into consideration.

Foreign versus localImported materials/products may well have been certified to meet foreign national standards. That these standards meet therefore South African National Standards must never be assumed. Always and without fail insist that the imported materials/products are successfully tested to meet South African National Standards.

Guard against conventional wisdom! Many well established computer simulation programs cur-rently used by Building Professionals use material properties well established in the international arena. Guess what!!! Somebody forgot to tell the South African material suppliers that they were supposed to meet the foreign material properties.

Then there are the Certificates confirming mate-rial properties and/product performance. Some are created in-house by the supplier; others are

issued by reputable and less reputable testing facilities.

Quis custodiet ipso custode?So “who guards the guards” and protects the Building Professional against possible fishy certification.

In South Africa it is SANAS, the South African Na-tional Accreditation System, which certifies testing laboratories in respect of equipment calibration, operator proficiency and method of reporting, among other. Building Professionals are urged to view Certification issued by companies not having a SANAS accreditation with great circumspection.

Our Association has established a testing labora-tory for the testing of building envelope systems which is independently operated by the Thermal Test Laboratory which is SANAS accredited.

The TTL can test fenestration, insulation materi-als and building envelope systems. AAAMSA can therefore provide the Building Professional with the appropriate Certification!!

Kind regardsHans A SchefferlieExecutive Director

The Consumer Protection Act will shortly come into effect. Our Association has on many occasions advised industry

players and Building Professionals alike to ensure due dili-gence in complying with the provisions of this act.

Chris Malan and Patrick McInerney of Co-Arc International, tell “Architect & Specifica-tor” that over a period of 45 years, the firm has seen so much change that the

company itself has experienced ongoing evolution through the decades.

Previously known as Meyer Pienaar Architects, the firm was started by Willie Meyer, who was later joined by Francois Pienaar, who is still a partner today. “The pair were strong proponents of Louis Kahn in the States,” says Chris, by way of introduc-tion. “They followed Kahn’s tenet that the architect should let the building be what it wants to be. It was a matter of addressing architectural integrity.

In this approach there is a risk of seeing architec-ture only in formalistic terms, and we are acutely aware that buildings don’t exist in isolation; their existence has social and urban connotations.”

Patrick adds, “By acknowledging the importance of a building within society and to its surround-ings we find ourselves in a continual adaptation of our approach to stay abreast and keep ahead of current trends, while maintaining the principles espoused by our founders.”

Collaborative designThe team recently applied these principles to the Mpumalanga Provincial Offices. “It was one of the first large commissions after the new government took over,” says Chris.

The project required a collaborative design process, which tied in with the company’s newly updated image. “The name Co-Arc alludes to a cooperative, collaborative architectural process,” explains Pat-rick. “We work with colleagues throughout Africa, as well as Germany, Argentina and even Russia. This raises numerous cultural differences, in addi-tion to the varying input from the different experts and disciplines within the industry. Everyone has something to say and something to offer.”

While this could lead to jumbled confusion, Co-Arc has managed to combine the various voices into a building that is vast yet welcoming, utilitarian while comfortingly familiar. “The main feature of the Mpumalanga project is the dome,” Patrick says. “Its external structure is reflected within the interior so that structure becomes part of the interior design, which creates the personality of the building.”

Comfortable structuresThe dome structure is repeated in woven panels which are inspired by the artwork in the region, while woven metal ‘sails’ diffuse light from the overhead skylight, reflecting it around the interior. “We wanted to minimise the volume so that oc-cupants wouldn’t be overwhelmed by the dome which is eight storeys high,” explains Patrick.

Although the building needed to be large it was important that users would feel comfortable in it. “We did this by using an architectural language people would understand, and materials that were familiar to them.” He adds that the process involved continuous distillation and refining of the design through the input of the professionals involved.

Natural beautyAttention was also paid to retaining the beauty of the natural landscape. “We believe we achieved an effective replication of the office space they

previously occupied, but the new offices nestle into the landscape on the edge of town,” Patrick continues. “We also chose sustainable materials, such as waste granite for the tiles and eucalyptus poles for the timber” Chris adds. “It’s often a case of inventing new uses for materials, particularly when we want to bring sustainability into a tight budget.”

Where possible, attention is given to allocating monies to community upliftment programmes. “Through careful choice of materials, we were able to save enough to invest in an art programme, sourcing pieces from both provincial and national artists whose works have a strong local flavour,” he says. “These are displayed in the building and form part of one of the largest new col-lections in the country.”

Complex exerciseThe pair admits that sustainability and social awareness certainly add complexity to an already complicated design exercise, but they’ve literally immersed themselves in the process. Chris recently completed a Masters in Environmental Management while Patrick holds a Masters in Urban Design.

“When building a civic structure it’s vital to look at the dignity of the individual, rather than the power of the organisation,” Patrick empha-sises. “This was the case when we handled a project at the Lebombo border post catering for pedestrians on their way through.

“People would often be compelled to cross the border on foot, carrying heavy loads, and then be funnelled through a shed with very limited fa-cilities. Our building gives the sense of moving through an arrivals lounge at an airport,” he describes.

Local colourInteraction with locals often brings some interesting interchanges and the pair chuckle as they tell us of a project in Ghana which came with some unusual requirements. “The brief was to extend the exist-ing structure of a hotel, which was achieved with such success that the new rooms have doubled their room rate,” explains Chris.

“The project included the rehabilita-

tion of the nearby lagoon in Accra. Custom required that we offer sacrifices to the local deities, and we had to issue an architects’ instruction for pro-curement of the offerings, which included large quantities of alcohol,” he laughs. “It is satisfying to work in different environmental and cultural contexts, and also sobering to be reminded in ever new ways of the debt we owe to nature.

Urban planningCo-Arc also had a chance to flex its urban design muscles during a pitch for a Joburg inner city park competition. While the firm was not chosen as the overall winner, there was tremendous enthusiasm for the research involved. “We took a look at the needs of the city to see what would really work,” Patrick says.

“Our idea was to create a series of green spaces which would allow inhabitants to circumnavigate the city through a green environment. It gave us a chance to truly engage with the problems of the city and created a wonderful debate in our studio regarding the importance of architecture in society.”

RegenerationCo-Arc has applied these insights to the proposed urban regeneration of the Germiston CBD, which will soon house the combined offices of the vari-ous municipalities under the Ekurhuleni umbrella. “Germiston has become a city in decline,” says Chris. “We hope to revitalise what should be the industrial powerhouse of the country.”

The proposed project, which has received mayoral approval, will see a central complex of administrative buildings around public squares, along with housing and retail facilities. “This mixed use development is an attempt to make a catalytic intervention to turn the city around,” he adds, while Patrick explains: “We need to go beyond architecture to see how we can change the perception of the city; how to market it, keep it clean, secure, to make it a desirable destination.”

Leaving legacies“Our greatest legacy as architects is to leave behind a sense of order. Services, structures and finishes should resonates with the human spirit,” concludes Patrick. “Design is about a range of issues, such as the way light interacts with mass and space; how texture affects the building.” Chris is quick to add: “It is also necessary to incorporate humanitarian, and environmental sustainability objectives. While fitting within a budget and getting the building completed on time!” It may seem like a tall order, but their passion and enthusiasm should help them overcome the hurdles.

the Wembley arch has become a landmark on the London skyline. “The 310m span can be seen as far as 20km away, which is enhanced on match days when it is lit up,” Kourosh smiles. “It’s the longest span ever constructed and it carries two thirds of the roof weight.”

Describing the arch as an ‘inverted hammock’, he explains that the design is simply a mast with a tensioned cable system. Weighing in at 1 750 tonnes, it soars 140 metres over the pitch and supports the full weight of the north roof and sixty percent of the south roof’s weight. Incorporating a retractable roof into the design was fundamental to the success of the new stadium. Seating for football matches is ninety thousand with protection from the elements, the largest covered capacity in the world.

Works of artPublic interest was keen and he acknowledges that stadia have a significant societal role. “A building

to achieve what may initially appear impossible,” he enthuses. “New technology has also helped the process. In the past models were used to illustrate all the design aspects of an architectural project but now we can use CAD to develop the design and then conduct structural tests using FEA.”

For those who’ve dedicated their lives to work of this nature, an opportunity like the Wembley Stadium arch can be life-altering. Kourosh’s pride is unmistakable as he tells us of the emotion he felt when he watched the structure finally lifted into place. “The management of such projects is tough, it takes passion and dedication, but our work is one-of-a-kind; it stays with people forever. It is about creating great architec-ture but also connecting with the people,” he finishes.

of this nature becomes a civic sculpture,” he says. “It’s a signature landmark in a city; a symbol to society. However, what the public sees of the very large projects we have worked on is the result of many generations of engineers incrementally push-ing technology forward,” he says pointedly.

Kourosh explains that due to space and transporta-tion limitations, the arch had to be fabricated on site in fabrication sheds situated in the centre of the stadium. The components were assembled within the footprint of the stadium and then hoisted up with cranes in a mammoth project that took nearly a year. The process was controlled by computer, with the arch winched to 30, 65, 100 and finally 112 degrees to vertical.

Lightweight champion“Lightweight longspan structures are defined by material, form, analysis and design,” he continues. “It not only comes down to managing the project but also to managing the design itself.” The success of these structures lies in their ability to support their own – very substantial – weight. As the span lengthens, the structure becomes inefficient and more strength is required to compensate.

“Lightweight material and careful geometry are intrinsically linked in this type of construction. It introduces an interesting dynamic because the structure becomes an architectural element,” he explains, illustrating the point with images of a complex latticework which is not only lighter but also more wind-resistant. “If we hadn’t used a lattice design, the weight of the material would’ve meant that the arch would only have been able to support itself. This design allows it to hold the weight of the roof too.”

The Wembley arch is composed of 41 steel rings connected through tube cords which spiral around the structure. The base of the arch tapers to one and a half metres in diameter, where it enters the ground, supported by a concrete base founded upon piles which delve thirty five metres into the ground.

Handling tensionModern lightweight materials offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, which determines how the material will be used. It’s not possible to overcom-pensate by using more material, since this, in itself, can result in too much weight. “The best way to use these materials is in tension, as this allows the structure to hold a greater load,” he explains.

“Tension membrane structures are not a new concept, but in the past our lack of knowledge was our limitation. Logic says you cannot do something, yet there are ways

Dear Mr Martin Bailey,

I’ve just read your article “Who Built My Warehouse?” in “Architect & Specificator” July/Aug issue.

Is it necessary to be derogatory towards architects in order to promote yourself? I also find your de-scription of the architect a dismal understanding of his profession. It seems a cheap shot at promoting a ‘logistics consultant’.

While the body of the article deals superficially with the basic ‘good sense’ of warehouse design re: traffic flow, stacking height, selection of materials, insulation, ergonomics, risk management systems (sprinklers), etc there is nothing new about it. No rocket science here. The selection of development team is crucial for any project, ie, don’t appoint to your industrial project an architect whose primary professional work is residential.

Your first important selection is the right designer who has experience in warehousing and there are many who are very well versed with the require-ments, regulations, laws and bye-laws, etc gov-erning warehouse design. There is no secret code to unlocking that information and if the specific client needs are of such a special nature then a specialist can be employed to advise the architect on the requirements governed by the operational process. Once that process has been established, the design will surely encompass that.

Why then the need for a logistics consultant to drive the project when you already have empow-ered professionals all capable of doing the job. If the project is so large that a specialist is required to manage then there is the professional project

manager who is empowered by an act of parliament and for whom that work is reserved.

Taking umbrageI take further umbrage with your statements… “there is real danger in letting the quantity surveyor manage the project”, ”….when he starts to dictate design policy you can end up with a facility that is built around the wrong priorities”. There are many clients who specifically appoint their quantity surveyor to manage the project as it provides the space for the architect to do what he does best – design around a professional brief.

I really don’t know how a quantity surveyor is able to dictate design policy and priorities; the operational needs/processes are clearly the criteria that will dictate design and will no doubt be well described in a professional brief.

Whether he manages the project or only carries out the financial control he is not in a position to inform the brief in anyway that will deviate from the purpose of the operations. When it comes to cost, there is no person more conscious of money than the industrial client, they want buildings that require least maintenance and they want it at the most competitive price. They also want a building that has aesthetic appeal, one that shows off the status of their business. You just cannot proceed ‘regardless of cost’.

There is no argument against a logistician being part of the process focused design team but I believe his added value is maximised once that optimal design is achieved. Not a convincing article for the appointment of logistician to manage essentially construction projects.

Yours faithfullyGregory J Fendt, Bennett Fendt - Quantity Surveyors

The recent IFSEC Securex exhibition in Sandton showcased the best the security industry has to offer and inspired the “Architect & Specificator” team to look into some of the

new technology available to safety experts.

Integrated systemsOne of the prevailing concepts at the moment is that of a holistically integrated security system. It’s not enough to erect an impenetrable wall when the front gate is left open. Ideally, all systems should be capable of working together, and since technology seems to be integral to efficiency, this must be foolproof, failsafe and easy to use.

Chatting to Jack Edery, CEO of Elvey, we learn that it’s now possible to install remotely-linked wireless security systems. “Often a company will install an expensive, complex system only to have it monitored by a human who’s asleep,” he warns. New generation security streams to 24 hour control rooms, or to your own cellphone.

Wide awakeBut the problem of guards sleeping at control room screens is also an issue which has recently been tackled by Meyertal Tactical Security. The company markets technology that has proven itself in military applications for around a decade and the applica-tions in the commercial sphere are vast.

A combination of algorithm-based video analytics surveillance technology and physical guarding, the system basically allows the monitoring process to be handled by a computer. While ordinary control room scenarios may leave a gap for human error and even criminal collusion, Meyertal’s system automates the monitoring process.

The system monitors daily activities over a five-day period, determines what constitutes ‘normal’ be-haviour and then flags any actions that fall outside of these parameters. For instance, if the cashing up process in a retail outlet involves a basic set of physical motions, the software records these and then sets an alarm should a cashier deviate and drop cash into a bag. This allows security the ability to instantly react to a possible incident, in some cases even preventing possible problems before they arise.

Some may be uncomfortable with the ‘big brother’ potential of the product, but its value as an incor-ruptible security tool is undeniable.

Nose to the groundMore on the subject of incorruptibility comes in the form of Bloodhound Technologies’ mobile setup, which provides a real-time personnel monitoring system. Where many companies complain about the difficulty of managing the movement of guards on the ground, Bloodhound’s devices keep these guys on their toes.

Incorporating a ‘beeper’ type gadget carried by the guard, the Bloodhound plots a route encompassing high risk areas and sends foot patrols on a path to cover these areas within a specified time. Linked RFID tags will ensure that guards not only reach these areas on time, but also that they don’t de-viate from the set path, or spend too much time lingering in one spot.

Security curtainOn our walk around the exhibition, we noticed that security does not have to equate to ‘ugly’. Elvey’s Bunker products include a range of unobtrusive lighting fixtures which double as passive intruder detection.

Elvey also offers a ‘security curtain’ in its ‘Fit’ range. Designed to fit discreetly into most environments, the Fit series of compact outdoor detectors not only pinpoints intrusion but can also be used to safeguard danger zones. This covers not only com-mercial applications, but also domestic situations where they provide an invisible barrier around ‘no-go’ areas, for instance keeping children away

remains: are we paranoid enough?

from swimming pools without the inconvenience of an ugly pool fence.

For Fog’s SakesOn the off chance that someone is able to scale the security fence, bypass the invisible curtains and evade the hyper-vigilant guards and detection beams, there are also products available to handle the intruder.

SmokeCloak, the world’s first commercial security fog generator is designed to flood a room with smoke upon intrusion, blanketing a room in a haze that reduces visibility and renders intruders almost helpless. While it doesn’t actually cripple perpetrators, the smoke gives security a chance to mobilise and address the situation.

Off the wallControl rooms are set for an upgrade with the advent of Questek’s video wall applications. These professional grade LCD displays have been designed for tiled video wall installations in small to medium-sized control rooms. Multiple sources such as video, PC content or streaming video can be presented and positioned anywhere across the entire LCD stack, giving high resolution visibility to the team in control.

Access control also gets a facelift with the Fastlane range of optical turnstiles. Beautifully styled using materials such as safety glass and chrome, Fastlane offers security without the unwanted imposition upon aesthetics. The range replaces the need for

a physical barrier by using active infra-red beams to create an invisible electronic field between two pedestals.

As authorised visitors reach the beams, the glass gates will open, closing behind them before an-other visitor may pass. This limits the practice of tailgating, which is a major cause of unauthorised access in many office environments.

Facial recognitionIf however, an intruder should breach the system, all is not lost. Multi-locking’s facial recognition software allows camera systems to keep track of undesirable visitors and alert security teams to respond accordingly. Using complex biometric read-ings, the software identifies ‘blacklisted’ personnel and sets an alarm should any of these individuals enter the premises.

Should a visitor arrive carrying malicious materials, this too can be detected. The Saflec Group offers sophisticated screening of concealed threats and contraband using safe, non-invasive screening technology.

The company’s ThruVision T4000 detects ir-regularities in naturally occurring terahertz waves emitted by the human body. These are interrupted by the presence of hidden items such as plastics,


DAS Access Control provides a wireless means of monitoring vehicle access, delivering barcoded access paperwork within minutes. The product is a handy way of controlling parking in hotels, for instance, which may require tickets to be dispensed for medium-term parking, along with synchronising this with check-in and check-out information.

The system is also useful for firms with shared parking buildings as well as multi-site companies with the problem of managing access from a distance.

The range has seen considerable success in su-permarket parking zones, where access can be authorised by including a barcode on a tillslip, ensuring that non-shoppers are compelled to pay for their bays. The device is easy to install and can be configured in seconds, providing a fast, efficient means of controlling vehicle access and egress.

With so much on the cards it seems that our security specialists have things locked down in terms of keeping safety under control. But since it’s only a matter of time before criminals find the loopholes, we anticipate a lot more in store. Watch this space.

Top awardKoop Design’s Dalton Private Reserve in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands has won the top award at the AfriSam-SAIA Awards for Sustainable Architecture.

The award was made at a ceremony at Turbine Hall in Newtown as part of AZA 2010, South Africa’s first architecture mega-event which has brought together leading-edge thinkers and multi-disciplinary practitioners from around the globe.

Commendations went to Savage & Dodd Architects for Hillbrow’s Ekhaya Project; Nsika Architec-ture and Design for the renova-tions at the Lifestyle Garden Centre in Gauteng; ARG Design for the Lynedoch Community Centre on the Spier Wine Estate in the Cape, and Metropolis for a family residence in Bishops Court in Cape Town.

Koop Design’s Dalton Compound is an integrated component of its environment, a 3 000-hectare re-serve. It is the operational centre of the reserve with buildings that are flexible to various utilitarian needs yet offer exclusivity to guests staying at the compound’s luxury accommodation. The project removed alien vegeta-tion and recycled it for use. A vegetable garden was created

for staff and the local community was trained and employed in the construction of the compound.

The South African Institute of Architects (SAIA) partnered with AfriSam (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd for this, the first Afri-Sam-SAIA Awards for Sustainable Architecture, a biennial initiative aimed at recognising outstanding achievement in sustainable architecture.

Says Al Stratford, President of SAIA: “The future for architects will be defined by accelerating urbanisation and climate change, precipitating economic and cultural adjustment, demanding an integrated sustainable design and practice response.”

When “Architect & Specificator” recently heard about Virginia Polytechnic’s Lumenhaus – which won the 2010 Solar Decathalon Europe – our cu-

riosity was piqued. Incorporating all the latest green ‘bells and whistles’, the concept house uses responsive architecture to balance comfort and energy efficiency.

Most appealing is the fact that while a lot of green design eschews energy consumption and all the handy devices associated with it, the Lumenhaus is

entirely automated. It’ll literally make your morning coffee, start your day with your favourite tunes and warm the floor before you set foot out of bed.

Hibernation modeTo conserve energy, the house switches itself off in your absence, locking itself, shutting down heating and other energy consumers until you return. It does this in unison with surrounding environmental conditions, tailoring itself to chang-ing weather conditions as well as to the needs of its inhabitants.

Its airy, open-plan design makes maximum use of sunlight, with electrochromic windows to help reduce heating and cooling loads while automati-cally adjusting tinting according to the intensity of the sun. Sunshine is the pivot around which the entire design functions; the house is completely solar powered, allowing its occupants to take ad-vantage of its modcons with a clear conscience. The house is a net-zero power consumer, producing more energy than it actually consumes.

Solar systemCarbon-neutral energy is provided by 45 grid-tied solar panels which are capable of collecting solar energy from both the back and the front of the panel simultaneously. This configuration produces up to 30% more electricity than a one-sided panel. An electric actuator tilts the entire PV array optimally depending on the season.

Energy consumption is recorded on a meter, giv-ing the occupants the opportunity to sell surplus energy back to the power company. Alternatively,

they can use it to power an electric car, further extending their enviro-friendly credibility.

EclipsisOne of the most interesting design features of the Lumenhaus is its Eclipsis system, which is respon-sible for keeping the house so efficient. Made up of four siding layers on the north and south sides of the home, the system controls insulation, light, airflow, privacy and security.

The outside layer comprises stainless steel panels featuring laser-cut rotated discs which act as sun-screens. Beneath this is a layer of polycarbonate gel insulating panels housing integrated LED lighting. This gel has the same insulation capabilities as a solid wall but allows natural light to enter the building. In a fairly ‘new-age’ touch, the lights in this panel can be temperature controlled to emit warm light for relaxation and cool light for con-centration. A third and fourth panel include glass sliding doors and interior curtaining.

Harsh sunPart of a responsive architectural system, the layers are all controlled by an automated system which reacts to data sent from an external weather sta-tion. This adjusts shading and lighting according to outside conditions, ensuring optimal function-ing regardless of the geographic location of the house. The system is also attached to an iPad or iPhone application, giving occupants the ability to control the various Eclipsis layers along with lighting and sound.

When open, the system doubles the floorspace, opening the interior up to take advantage of natu-ral views. It also opens up during winter to allow sunlight to heat the concrete floor. Closing the panels protects the interior from harsh sun during summer months.

Perception of space is an important aspect of the design, since the house has a fairly modest footprint. In addition to the integration of indoor and outdoor living space, the designers have concentrated on maximising flow between rooms, using a central ‘core’ rather than walls to delineate living areas.

FOR A BRIGHTER, GREENER FUTURE.


The space-age exterior gives little indication of this home’s low impact on the environment (Photo: Matt Vibberts)

Doors within this core contain office, storage and entertainment facilities. They also allow occupants to close off areas for privacy. Future space require-ments are accommodated by the modular nature of the house; multiple units can be connected or stacked to create two-, three- or four-bedroomed houses to adapt to changing needs.

Multi taskingBeyond the clever design, Lumenhaus is constructed from some pretty smart materials, with an emphasis on items boasting a green footprint from point of origin. This covers everything from low-VOC paint, to closed-cell spray insulation which is CFC, HCFC and formaldehyde free. Most of the materials also have dual purposes; insulation panels add struc-tural strength, while the polished HTC Superfloor concrete floor doubles as thermal mass.

The same principle applies to furniture, with many pieces serving more than one function to allow optimum use of space. The designers have kept the footprint of the house as small as possible to keep materials and energy use to a minimum. Es-sentially, all elements within the house are designed to work harmoniously together, from heating and lighting to basic living activities.

Other savvy stuff includes rainwater collection and greywater recycling, along with a geothermal sys-tem which ties into underfloor heating to generate balanced heating throughout the house.

AppliancesIn addition to the actual construction of the house, the creators have incorporated a wealth of effi-cient appliances into the design. Washers which use minimal water and electricity, stoves which maximise heat transference and energy-efficient fridges are all part of the mix. Even the taps and toilets are designed to conserve water.

These appliances are also designed for minimum space usage, although TV fanatics will be pleased to know that there are televisions available which use up to 30% less energy than comparable sized models while delivering better colour and contrast.

Ultimately, Lumenhaus has shown that it is possible to integrate comfort and intelligent design into our architecture without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. The team behind the design anticipates that it will be instrumental in bringing green design into the mainstream and prove that it can be an accessible form of architecture for large scale construction. If this is the case, this little house could have a huge impact on our cities in future.

According to Dr Marie Puybaraud, Director of Global Workplace Innovations at John-son Controls, smart companies should be giving the matter more thought. Those

interested in nabbing tomorrow’s young talent will be particularly interested in her research on Generation Y – the age bracket 18-25 – the findings of which she presented at this year’s Facilities Management Conference in Johannesburg.

Up in armsDescribing this age group as typically confident and technologically savvy, Marie explains that today’s Generation Y employee is aware of his or her value

and expects an employer to act accordingly.

In an age where a two-year old can accurately differentiate between e-mail and Photoshop and a pre-schooler can programme a PVR, these kids liter-ally have IT hardwired into their thought processes. These skills make this generation very efficient in a world that is increasingly reliant on technology.

It may be a bitter pill to swallow for those who grew up believing that 8am to 5pm at a desk equated to productivity; Generation Y can achieve in minutes what it takes many of us hours to complete. All this productivity is achieved using devices such as Google, Twitter and a variety of other tools that the Old Guard perceive as frivolous.

Focus on collaborationEven during Marie’s presentation there were a number who showed their scepticism, but there are those who recognise the value of Generation Y.

“There’s a focus on collaboration,” she says. “These ‘youngsters’ like a ‘team space’ area rather than a formal meeting room.” Not surprisingly, they don’t want to have to clean the area either, but this is true of most age groups. Oddly, she found that the most informal age group fell into the 36-45 age bracket, who favoured casual breakout spaces. However, this may simply indicate that senior staff members have more freedom to dictate their own activities.

In a climate where job seekers are clamouring for any available position, not many companies are investing in creating an environment to draw potential candidates.

It may be a bitter pill to swallow for those who grew up believing that 8am to 5pm at a desk equated to productivity

It might also come as no surprise that parking is a big factor. With public transport of a minimum, most South Africans are compelled to drive to work and Generation Y expresses a desire for ample parking to accommodate their vehicles. They are, however, partial to environmentally friendly hybrid cars.

“Generation Y is strongly environmentally aware,” says Marie. “97% of them expect employers to go beyond basic levels of compliance, with 57% wanting companies to show hard evidence of this fact.”

Effective planningEffective office planning is about more than ergo-nomics. It’s a matter of incorporating the right mix of productivity and creativity triggers for best effect. Both rely heavily on technology with features such as people, workspace, company culture and ambi-ance having varying levels of importance.

While Marie’s research addressed a young market and is pertinent to those hoping to grab tomorrow’s Bill Gates, it highlights an important point: happy staff are more productive. With retirement ages edging further and further back, our workforce is not only growing, but becoming more diverse. Catering for everyone is going to be a challenge for even the most creative planners.

More information on Johnson Controls’ Global Workplace Innovation research and development programme can be viewed at www.globalworkplaceinnovation.com

Few are willing to share a desk, leaving facilities managers with the dilemma of how to efficiently utilise expensive office space

It comes as no shock that Generation Y is also partial to modern or contemporary design style. Male respondents claim to be comfortable with a minimalist environment, possibly because they re-quire less workspace than their female counterparts who lean towards personalising their areas.

Low expectationsMost would prefer flexible working hours, but have low expectations of this desire being met. Marie advises that companies with flexibility should make a feature of this fact in order to draw like-minded candidates.

In spite of wanting to keep odd hours, few are will-ing to share a desk, leaving facilities managers with the dilemma of how to efficiently utilise expensive office space for staff who may not even be at their desks. Furthermore, a desire to work in urban or moderately urban area means that these employ-ees are unlikely to be drawn to offices in outlying, low-rental areas. “’Hot desking’ is a practice that begs more attention, but staff would need to be educated as to its practicality,” says Marie.

Privacy and personalisation of space seem to be the main obstacles to this practice, but Marie adds that technological advances are making it more vi-able. “Desktops and screensavers can be configured individually and we’re heading to the stage where workers will be able to electronically change the colour of their work surfaces,” she explains, refer-ring to the development of LED desks. Meanwhile, passwords are an easy means of protecting sensi-tive information.

Varying requirementsManagers need to be aware of different requirements or varying industry types as well as genders. In general 12 to 20m² per person serves as a basic space requirement, with men happy to work in a smaller area. This might require managers to look at male to female staff ratios when space is an issue.

Generation Y favours a ‘teamspace’ meeting area rather than formal conference room

Louis van Wyk from SAGGA recently spoke to “Architect & Specificator” about these systems, along with a number of factors affecting the glass sector. According to Louis, effectively

marking safety glass is essential because it assists in the process of providing a glass certificate prior to the issuing of a certificate of occupancy.

The dilemma is how to get the markings in place clearly, quickly, affordably and, most importantly, permanently.

Toughened safety glass has all markings applied prior to the toughening process, so the problem is usually not associated with this material. However, the issue raises its head when dealing with lami-nated safety glass. This is bought in stock sheets and requires that the contractor apply markings once the pane has been cut to size.

Various options“There have been a lot of systems available but each has its own set of drawbacks,” Louis tells us. “Laser marking is effective but it’s very expensive.

Sandblasting has the same problem because the contractor needs a compressor to do the job.

“It’s also tricky because the sand needs to be completely removed after the mark has been made.” He adds that there have been instances in which leftover grains of sand have abraded panes in transit to the extent that all glass markings are completely illegible after long trips.

“A cheaper variation on the sandblasting theme was the use of gas-propelled equipment. The draw-back here was the shortage of gas canisters. The manufacturer was using fire extinguisher cylinders filled with compressed air, and these were hard to source. We’ve also seen a vibro-engraving tool comprising a hand held engraver that is run over a steel template.

“Possibly the most common system has been the self-inking rubber stamp range from Red Cap Indus-tries. This is available with an indelible fluid and at around R600 is relatively inexpensive. However, it requires simple maintenance – a quick daily rinse – that some contractors neglect. Also, if not carefully applied, it’s possible to smudge the mark. But the product is quite flexible in that it allows the use of any logo, along with the relevant Code.”

Building inspectionLouis stresses that regardless of the system used, the mark must be clear for building inspection. “We’re finding that building inspectors are becom-ing increasingly vigilant in their monitoring of glass codes,” says Louis. “While we at SAGGA use laser measuring to determine glass thickness, building inspectors generally use one of two methods. Both are fairly rudimentary glass gauges. Some inspectors will merely examine the glass mark and assume it’s correct.”

With toughened glass, the mark is usually a reliable indication of the glass used, however laminates are open to error or even deliberate application of the wrong code. “In the past, building inspectors may have turned a blind eye, but tougher regula-tions are holding them accountable for building malfunction down the line,” he warns.

Often occupants will inhabit a building for years waiting for all the necessary certificates required for legitimate occupancy, but Louis adds that there are deterrents to this too. “These people will probably get nailed on rates, and the lack of certification will affect resale of the property. All this is great for us, because it discourages practices such as backhanding,” he smiles. “It also protects the oc-cupant from unsafe buildings.”

Safety firstHe goes on to warn of the very real threat to human

life when safety is not a primary consideration, citing the examples of numerous public buildings which were used for years without correct docu-mentation, among these being the Colonnade and Menlyn Shopping Centres.

“Ten years ago when I started at Sagga, there was a lot of development in some of the new suburban areas. It was like watching Lego being strewn about! At that point, Bill Posthumous at the Roodepoort Council called me and showed me numerous glaz-ing certificates for buildings where glass did not comply with standards. This is where the value of our membership became clear, because SAGGA members adhere to strict guidelines.

“Bill gave the directive that only our members could install within his spheres of influence; initially this covered eleven municipal ar-eas but it has now spread countrywide. The results have been significant. Where non-conformance initially stood at 85% it is now down to 12% and drop-ping,” says Louis with obvious pride.

“We may never get down to 0% non-compliance because SAGGA membership is not enforced. How-ever, I believe there are no real obstacles to glaziers who wish

Regulations are holding them accountable for building malfunction down the line

GLASS & GLAZING

CodesSafety glass adheres to three basic codes. Code 1 is resistant to human impact, and includes various laminates and toughened safety glass. Code 2 resists burglary and vandalism and requires HI PVB laminates or materials that comply with the requirements of SANS 1263 Part II. Code 3 is designed to withstand armed attack, which is accomplished by multi laminate bullet resisting glass of PVB and/or Composite laminates, as well as any glazing materials that comply with the requirements of SANS 1263 Part III.

According to SAGGA’s regulations on safety glazing, item 4.4.1 “the panes of all safety glazing material shall be permanently marked by the installer in such a manner that the markings are visible in individual panes after installation.”

to join our ranks. Also by offering contractors strong incentives to sign up, such as information resources and support, I think the number of installers who do not comply will diminish significantly,” he says in closing.

“CISA products are imported from Italy but we also carry the UK Briton range specifying everything from door furniture to hinges,” Warren continues. “We provide a full design service, taking the process from consultation to inception through to installa-tion and finally to a back-up system if problems arise.” Warren adds that the longevity of the CISA products contributes to their cost-effectiveness as they conform to the European Standards (EN).

In the station“The Cape Town station was a particularly big project and we were involved from the start. We

recommended a European size lock body with a 60mm backset lock set that sits far into the door. As a high-security system, we specified a lock with a double throw deadbolt that needs to be turned twice to open it,” Warren explains.

“Also, in order to counteract misuse, the latch-bolt has a 300kg side force resistance. A 200 000 operation cycle allows it to be opened and closed up to a fifty times a day with a minimum lifespan of around ten years.”

Whether installing advanced locking systems, creating master keys or simply fitting a regular lock, choosing a

trustworthy locking mechanism can be a tricky business in a country where crime is a daily fact of life.

High visibility panic devices

When “Architect and Specificator” speaks to Warren Purdue, Chief Operating Of-ficer of D. Purdue & Sons, he sheds a little light on some critical issues. “We

have been around since 1982 importing high qual-ity locks and locking systems from CISA Italy,” he explains. “We not only focus on the everyday lock but also on advanced locking systems, master key-ing, ironmongery and product design,” he states.

Locking systemsA little over four years ago D. Purdue & Sons be-gan to focus on working with architects, tailoring CISA product specifications for individual projects. During this time, the company has tackled some sizable installations. “We’ve worked on some really big projects requiring very complex master keying locking systems, such as the Cape Town Station, Cape Town Stadium and the Gautrain Project,” he says with pride.

Bumping is a fast-growing threat internationally and it’s starting to take off locally

Panic areas and safety zones necessitated the installation of specialised safety equipment, such as panic bars and high visibility products. Avail-able in a standard width of 900mm or 1200mm, panic devices can be used as an exit device on double doors, in most cases including the top and bottom locking points. Outside, panic handles were issued in grey or black, with panic devices in red and black or grey.

Doors which are not dedicated panic doors have handles outside which can be locked when neces-sary, while the panic bar always remains unlocked from the inside. Warren adds that they offer a range of fire-rated panic devices for fire escapes that are capable of withstanding 120 minutes of continuous exposure to fire while remaining operational.

Master keysWith security being an entrenched South African issue, you’d expect locks to be a priority in building design but Warren believes that this is not generally the case. “You’d be surprised at how often people leave doors and locks to the last minute.”

“A system we’re interested in hearing about is the grand master keying system which is a convenient means of ensuring that the right person has the right key at the right time.

“This principle is applied to our construction mas-ter key, which gives access to contractors while a building is being constructed. Once completed, the owners master key will lock out the builders. This is a great safety feature because usually you don’t know who might end up with a key,” he explains.

BumpingIn addition to these key systems, CISA provides ‘bump’-resistant keys. “Bumping is a fast-growing threat internationally and it’s starting to take off locally,” he warns. The practice involves insert-ing a filed down key into a cylinder and tapping it with a hammer until the pins shift into position allowing the cylinder to open the lock. “The tech-nique is so easy it’s frightening. Anyone wanting to learn how it’s done can watch a Youtube clip on the internet.”

He adds that their range is designed to withstand mis-use, and points out that criminal practices are constantly evolving, which is why it’s so important to enlist the help of a specialist when choosing locking systems for high profile buildings. Products that were effective last year may no longer provide sufficient security today.

Do the waveOn the topic of high-tech access systems, Warren tells us that card access has advanced to the point of contactless access control. These are especially effective in the hospitality industry, as well as in hospitals. “CISA has an electronic locking system called The Wave, so named because you just have

to wave the access card at the device to open the door. The reader has no working parts and doesn’t wear out the way previous systems did. Also, card technology is open to mis-use since the magnetic strip can be cloned. The strips also deteriorate and don’t always work. The Wave uses a chip which can’t be cloned and has a much longer life span.”

With its extensive history in the business of keep-ing out the bad guys and protecting the contents of a building, the Cisa team has access control locked down. This is fortunate for those of us with specialised security requirements; or those who simply want to overcome the ever-evolving ingenuity of the miscreants at the gate.

New fire bookletSafeQuip, subsidiary of Rovic International, is South Africa’s leading fire safety manufacturer and supplier to the fire trade. The company’s managing director, Jan Fritz has just written and released an essential booklet. The SafeQuip fire booklet outlines all you need to know about

the fire industry in South Africa. It covers the history of fire equipment, causes of fire, fire prevention, the differ-ent classes and classifications of fire and the selection of the correct fire extinguishers appropriate to fighting these fires, the legal changes in the industry and safety signage needed in buildings. It is a valuable, up-to-date source of information for all safety officers and SHEQ practitioners as well as for the general public.

Recently, there have been changes in legal requirements of fire equipment and SABS compliance in the industry and, crucially, this new information is clearly and simply detailed in the booklet.

Openings in fire walls can now be protected by flexible curtains which allow the architect to design aesthetically more pleasing buildings. In today’s green building designs, open light wells are a common feature and such openings can be protected and still maintain everyday usage in a non-fire situation. On detection of a fire, a curtain will deploy automatically.

Previously, such curtains provided only integrity and no insulation and the fire department could see this as a smoke barrier at best.

Fenco has developed the wet fire curtain which has been fully tested in terms of NFPA (National Fire Protection As-sociation USA) 251 standards.

To meet full fire resistance criteria, building elements need to meet three criteria: integrity - The material should not crack or open up for the required protection period; stabil-ity - The structure should remain stable for the required protection period; and isolation - The material should not allow heat through for the required protection period.

“During the design phase of each project the Leroy Somer team integrates various lift parameters in its calculation software and is then able to propose a solution which com-plies with all regulatory requirements, including stringent safety standards.”

Gearless XA motors, with an internal rotor, are compact and lightweight for easy installation in the lift well. The cigar type design of these motors makes them perfect for use in lift installations with a restricted pit depth. The overhanging traction sheave provides direct access to the grooves and simplifies installation of the cables. The reduced overhead design, due to axial disk brakes, means the motor can be fitted on a beam directly underneath the shaft ceiling.

A world firstA revolutionary new window film technology will soon be available in South Africa that can considerably help reduce energy costs. A new window film, trade-marked EnerLogic, was developed in the United States. It makes it possible to convert single glazed windows to achieve the energy saving maintained by double glazed windows. LLumar Films managing director in South Africa, Richard Burton says other window film technologies can help to save energy, but because EnerLogic’s patent-pending low-emissivity coating delivers energy efficiency in every season, no other film can match its annual savings.

He says EnerLogic technology is “always on” and offers superior savings with far better clarity. It doubles the energy and carbon-emission savings of darker, more reflective films. “This is an upgrade that pays for itself. You no longer have to incur great costs to break out complete window frames with single glazed panes and replace them with new frames to accommodate the double glazed panes.

“The result is that EnerLogic outperforms most of the available alternatives in terms of payback. The scratch-resistant coating provides increased longevity and easy cleaning, and the manufacturer backs it with a 10-year warranty.” The product carries the seal of approval of the US Skin Cancer Foundation.

The final stagesThe complex process of Chryso Southern Africa acquiring a.b.e. Construction Chemicals, which started in February this year, has now reached its final stages. The move resulted in a.b.e. delisting from the JSE, with Chryso taking ownership and management control of the company at the end of September 2010.

Norman Seymore, the current MD of Chryso, will be CEO of both businesses after the acquisition is completed.

“Initially, a.b.e. and Chryso will run independently from one another while integration possibilities and opportunities are studied. However, there will be strong cooperation between all the departments and divisions of the two companies,” explains Norman.

In StyleTile Africa Contracts specified and supplied tiles and bathroom ware to the East London Airport upgrade project. The company provided tiles for the terminals, waiting areas, bathrooms, VIP lounge and line shops within the airport. In addition, brassware was supplied for the public bathrooms.

Full bodied porcelain tiles imported from Greece and polished porcelain tiles imported from Italy were among the tiles that were supplied. “We feel we have given the best possible service to GVK as we were required to order additional tiles from Italy and Greece, with very short notice, which we managed without a glitch,” says Craig Penton of Tile Africa Contracts.

The main floor tile is a 400x400mm salt and pepper tile with polished porcelain tiles laid out in five different colours. The interesting tile layouts in the arrival and departure areas grabs the attention and make for a unique floor surface that travellers cross when arriving or leaving East London. Line stores within the airport, such as the Wimpy and Mugg & Bean, were also provided with tiles.

Partial occupation Partial occupation of a building under construction is not a good option, advises the Gauteng Master Builders Association (GMBA).

Colin de Kock, executive director of the GMBA, says partial occupation could hinder progress of the building work and pass responsibility for damage onto the property owner/partial occupier.

“Property owners should rather insist on completion of all building work before taking occupation. There are contractors who encourage partial occupation as it then provides them with a good excuse for late completion and there is then no real pressure on the contractor to finish the work in the stipulated time,” Colin states.

When there is good reason to take partial occupation, however, the conditions for such occupation should be agreed beforehand and in writing.

In the case of building alterations and additions, de Kock says agreement must be reached before work starts regarding the ownership of material removed from exist-

ing buildings. “It must be clearly stipulated whether the owner requires a credit for materials such as windows, door frames, roof trusses, and roof coverings, or whether these items should be left on site. All builders’ rubble must be removed from site at the contractor’s cost and such stipulation must be included in the contract. The removal should take place during the contract and not be allowed to accumulate.”

The GMBA also advises that the property owner draws up a “snag list” when the contractor indicates that final completion has been achieved. This comprehensive snag list must be handed to the contractor who must rectify the identified problems before receiving the final payment. All municipal inspections must also be done - and proof received by the client - before occupation of the premises.

Colin says final payments must be done strictly in accor-dance with the contract, taking into account stipulated periods and retention fees.

The ranking will cover leading cities from twelve African countries: Algeria, Angola, Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Tunisia. South Africa is represented by the cities Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Tshwane/Pretoria. The final selection of cities will be based on data availability.

“With the African Green City Index, the Economist Intelligence Unit and Siemens are covering new ground. So far, no other study of this scope has been done for Africa,” says Stefan Denig, who is leading this project at Siemens. The study will be part of the Green City Index series, which sets out to compare the environmental performance of cities in

different regions of the world. Following the success of the European Green City Index, a study comparing the environmental performance of 30 major cities from 30 European countries, Siemens is now sponsoring similar studies for Asia, Africa and Latin America.

“The results of the study will help the cities to better under-stand and tackle their specific environmental challenges,” says Stuart Clarkson, CEO of Siemens South Africa. “It will enable city stakeholders to make more informed decisions about how to reduce their environmental impact by for example, making their power supplies, traffic systems and buildings more energy-efficient, or improving their water supply and sanitation”.

News & ViewsAll in it togetherWhen the Green Point Park opens in the near future, all Capetonians will benefit from a 12.5 hectare urban public space, at the heart of the Cape Town stadium precinct, every element of which seems to have been designed to delight and inspire.

The use of local stone links the park through walls and benches along the fan walk to the slave memorial in St Andrews Square and, historically, to the Castle, the city’s oldest building. Visually, the park connects the mountain and the city through a central waterway to the sea, a connection designed through offsetting the stadium from the centre of this precinct.

Designed as a multifunctional park, Green Point Park includes an amphitheatre and adventure playground for children, a biodiversity show garden, an eco centre and tea room. The playground includes specialised equipment for children with disabilities, while paths and ramps are wheelchair friendly.

According to Urban Green File, “Never before has an urban park in South Africa been designed on this scale and to this detail – and, and as a result, Cape Town will be much better off for many years to come.”

Barbara Southworth, architect, urban planner and former director City Spatial Development, writing in Counter Cur-rents says the public places programme, “presented … a

concept of equitable access … to public transport and to the resources and opportunities of the city, as the basis for spatial equity and integration.”

Barbara points to the particular importance of public spaces for people living in underserved communities where they are an extension of domestic dwellings.www.capetown2014.co.za

expertise in a BEE joint venture between well-known local property developer, Rob Alexander of Ducatus Properties and Tebogo Mogashoa of Tebfin Developments, the devel-oper of Pan Africa Shopping Centre in Joburg’s Alexandra Township.

Tebogo explains that Edendale Mega City is based on an excellent blueprint that has ably delivered a successful centre and transport hub, benefitting both community members and the many tenant retailers.

An important part of Edendale Mega City’s offering for the community is a brand new taxi rank which forms part of the centre. Here, the developers have negotiated and signed a formal agreement with the local Taxi association.

This agreement carefully details how the rank will meet the needs of taxi commuters. He adds, “The new rank will both benefit Edendale Mega City with its tens-of-thousands of commuters, and contribute significantly to Pietermaritzburg’s transport infrastructure.”

Retail and transportThe 26 000m2 Edendale Mega City shopping centre in Pietermaritzburg is set to become the first centre of its size and offering to cater for the area, which is largely un-tapped and unserviced by retail. Scheduled for completion in September 2011, the R250 million project will bring much needed retail services, including leading national tenants, exciting line shops, and a substantial food court to the area. It will also include a modern banking mall and a custom-built taxi facility.

Quick deliverySika was specified by contractor, MCS, to re-instate 150 linear metres of failed

floor joints at the DHL Warehouse in Pretoria West. The over-worked floor joints were treated

with Sikafloor-156ZA Primer, Sikadur-42 ZA and LoadFlex joint sealant in the weekend-long job.


Concierge access controlWork on a multi million Rand residential apartment de-velopment, comprising 60 units, gets underway shortly on a prime, 4 625 square metre site neighbouring the corner of Oxford, 11th Avenue and 8th Street, Lower Houghton. Completion is projected for end 2011.

Entry level prices start at R1.1m and there is a choice of designs varying from 69sqm to 96sqm while the rooftop terraces range from 175sqm to 240sqm in extent with prices starting at R2,5m. They are each individually and uniquely designed so that no two are alike.

The complex is fully secured with what is believed to be South Africa’s first concierge access control in a residen-tial development, while residents also enjoy an on-site gym and laundry. The Gautrain station and Rosebank ‘shoplex’ is about 1km away.

M-Architects, long term associates of Barrow Properties, have come up with a colourful, contemporary high-tech, South American styled ‘look and feel’ for the project, making creative use of space and natural light with two choices of high standard finishes that allow for interior individualization.

The joints in the DHL old warehouse floor had been subjected to materials handling equipment such as pallet jacks and forklifts and thus had spalled to such a degree that a simple joint sealer would not suffice. The consistent heavy traffic had created cracks below the surface, causing concrete to split and chip off. The contractors were firstly required to cut back and die into the concrete slab, clean the surface, and then begin priming the substrate with Sikafloor-156ZA Primer.

Static cracks in the floors were levelled using Sikadur-42 ZA, a mixed fluid grout of epoxy resins and special fillers, before the application of the primer, to ensure optimum results.

Sikadur-42 ZA was allowed to cure, following which the joints were re-cut and cleaned with an electric blower in preparation for the third Sika product used, LoadFlex. Loadflex is a hard bearing sealant designed to withstand industrial traffic and can be used to fill interior horizontal control joints as well as to repair random cracking of concrete slabs.

Time was a significant factor in the success of this project as the warehouse is a hub of busy activity all year round, and just three days were allocated for the job. For this reason, the contractors had to be as fast as possible and were able to rely on the quick setting times of Sika’s high strength epoxy, Sikadur-42 ZA, to expertly complete the job between Friday and Sunday - within the client’s prescribed time frame and budget.

No damageThe Lehavot system, available from the Centa Group, is an automatic fire detection and fully mechanical suppression system for enhanced safety in commercial and industrial kitchens, as well as in kitchen areas on the mines.

“Electric and gas-operated cooking equipment uses large amounts of inflammable ingredients which are susceptible to ignition and fire outbreak. For this reason, it is critical that a reliable fire protection system is installed in the kitchen areas of public institutions, the mines, hotels and restaurants,” says Duncan Boyes, chairman of the Centa Group.

“The Lehavot system uses liquid potassium salt to extinguish and suppress cooking oil fires and consists of heat detectors that are automatically triggered, or manually operated, in the event of a fire. Sprinklers are positioned over the cook-ing area to offer maximum coverage of the installation. On contact with the oil, the extinguishing liquid creates foam which prevents oxygen from reaching the fire.

Safety and efficiency Assa Abloy Entrance Systems South Africa, local supplier of the globally-renowned Besam range of door entrance systems, was again selected as the preferred supplier in January 2010, when Cape Town’s Tyger Valley Shopping Mall called for tenders for two additional revolving doors.

“The order for the 2-Wing 4.8m Besam Uni-Turn revolving doors was placed in April this year and arrived in South Africa in September with installation planned shortly af-ter that”, says Entrance Systems South Africa Managing Director, Andre Aiton.

“We have been dealing with Tyger Valley Shopping Centre since mid 2006 when we secured an order for two 2-Wing 4.8m Besam Uni-Turn door systems. This was followed by a second order at the end of 2008 for another two identical systems which we installed in June 2009. Andre adds, “The most recent order brings the total number of revolving doors in this three-level centre to six - a flagship for South Africa”.

“The existing four 2–Wing Besam 4.8m Uni-Turn revolving doors at Tyger Valley have been receiving positive comment

from patrons and shop owners as larger compartments allow better traffic and trolley flow – benefits that are not pos-sible with the small locally-manufactured manual units or smaller automatic 3 and 4 wingers. In addition, with the 2-Wing Besam Uni-turn it is possible to increase the clear openings width for easy forklift entry. The Besam range carries the CE label and meets all relevant, stringent European safety regulations and excellent quality standards.

Up NorthConstruction of Polokwane’s largest and most modern mega shopping centre, Mall of the North, is fast approaching its April 2011 opening deadline.

Explains Jannie Moolman from Moolman Group, “The installation of a series of unique glass domes – designed to lend a contemporary look and let in abundant, natural light – is almost complete, with specialist glazers adding finishing touches.

Johann Kriek from Resilient Property Income Fund points out that that the community is an important stakeholder in this development. “Hundreds of labourers and artisans have been employed to construct Mall of the North; thereby significantly boosting employment numbers. At the height of building activity, an average of 900 people per day, including sub-contractors, were actively working on site.


Holocaust and genocide centre Johannesburg is the latest South African city to develop a Holocaust and Genocide Centre. The project is being funded entirely by charitable donations in association with the City of Johannesburg, which made the prominent site on Jan Smuts Avenue across the road from the Westcliff Hotel available for this purpose.

Designed by Lewis Levin, the archi-tectural language and aesthetic of the building has clearly been carefully considered. “It is important that this building is humble yet respectful, austere yet contemplative. And it is important that children are able to relate to it,” says Levin.

At street level, the double-volume foyer is dominated by a wall of glazing, which entices the visitor to enter the building and provides a sense of transparency. Interspersed in the wall of clear glaz-ing are children’s drawings reproduced in stained glass. “These extraordinary images were drawn by children in the Theresienstadt Ghetto during the Holocaust. They depict the optimism of childhood amidst the horror of their surroundings,” explains Levin.

The exterior finish is a combination of dry-packed concrete with large exposed rock that is aggregate-clad onto the wall between steel members. The visual effect is striking, evoking wreckage and destruction but also, rather surprisingly, trees in a forest. Levin says the imagery is deliberate: “If you visit the death camps, the fragments of mangled steel that have remained and of forests surrounding the precincts are strong visual associations.” The feature also includes a reflection pond and planting along the feature wall.

Not invertedA new Pick ‘n Pay supermarket is nearing completion in Hurlingham, Sandton. Designed by Bentel Associates International (BAI), it will be the third Pick ‘n Pay store to incorporate a significant number of sustainable elements including the use of natural refrigerants.

The development at the intersection of William Nicol and Republic Roads consists of a multi-level complex with a receiving basement, a level for staff facilities, trading and mezzanine levels and a 300-bay basement parking area. The complex includes the 5 600m2 Pick ‘n Pay supermar-ket, 750m2 of adjoining line shops, a Pick ‘n Pay liquor store and a Pick ‘n Pay Cooking School. Construction of the R160-million complex started in August 2009 and completion is planned for October 2010.

to ensure that we meet this ultimate goal,” explains Wendy Radford, Centre Manager of Blue Route Mall. “According to MLC Quantity Surveyors, 2.6 million bricks will be used to build the new building, together with 22,000m² of plaster, 60,000m² of screed, and 4,000 tonnes of steel – another Louis Karol spectacular!”

Wendy notes that an estimated two million man hours will collectively be spent over the next two years to complete the development, taking into account that peak manpower

on site is at approximately 1,000 workers.

Prior to demolition, the Blue Route Mall team ensured, that where possible, internal fittings and other recycled materials, including carpet tiles, doors, wood panelling, glass, light fixtures, ceiling boards and shelves, were carefully set aside so that these could be donated to com-munity projects.Vannessa Fourie, Tel: (011) 807 7150, Email: [email protected]

BAI say that the design is not the conventional inverted type of architecture normally used for retail complexes. The inclusion of contemporary full height glass facades, together with numerous skylights in the roofscape and a dimmable light system, allows for considerable daylight harvesting and adds to the natural ambience of the interior of the complex. The large facades also allow exposure to the interior from the main intersection and the entrance.

The new store will use almost 40 percent less energy than a comparable conventionally designed store due to the utilisation of high performance refrigeration, lighting and HVAC systems. The store also uses renewable energy sources to help light, warm and cool the site. No VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paints have been used and solar panels are used to power external signage at night.

Pick ‘n Pay is installing 100 kilowatts of photovoltaic capacity that will generate between 8–20% of the store’s power when in operation. This system is expected to reduce energy consumption by at least 30 per cent com-pared to a similar sized store using synthetic refrigerants. The refrigeration plant also incorporates a heat recovery system, which is used to provide the entire store’s hot water requirements.

The integrated energy-saving system also manages the store lighting, bakery equipment and staff facilities. A single 1 600 litre hot water tank has also been provided for the hot water reclaim system supplying domestic hot water to virtually the entire building.

In addition, a rainwater harvesting system has been installed to be used as irrigation for the largely indigenous landscap-ing and back up for the airconditioning system.

ReflectiveInfraset Buiding Products has launched Eco Shield, its own roof insulator brand for residential, commercial and industrial build-ings. Agrément approved and conforming to SABS standards, Eco Shield will contribute to making any habitable structure SANS 204 compliant.

Eco Shield works by providing a radiant bar-rier under the roof covering, thereby saving energy and creating comfortable living and working environments.

Available in four grades, domestic, commercial/light indus-trial, heavy industrial and undertile membrane, Eco Shield is manufactured by laminating a reflective aluminium foil to a polypropylene spunbond membrane. All grades are designed for pitched roofs apart from the heavy industrial model which is meant for open steel-framed structures such as factories and warehouses.

Grant Uys, roofing product manager of Infraset Building Products comments, “Roofs absorb solar energy which is radiated downward. Eco Shield’s reflective insulation system offers a permanent method of blocking this down-ward transfer into buildings. Unlike traditional insulating materials such as fibreglass, cellulose and styrofoam, which inhibit the rate of convective and conductive heat transfer by absorption, radiant barrier systems, such as Eco Shield, have high reflectivity and low emissivity rates, which reduce heat transfer by ‘bouncing’ as much as 97% of all radiant energy back through the roof tiles in summer. In winter months internal warmth is reflected back into houses and other structures.

Tile Africa has announced the appointment of Lachlan Harris as its new general manager.

Honeywell Building Solutions (HBS) has appointed Kevin Pearman as its Senior Account Manager, based in Midrand.

Thierry Legrand, Chief Executive Officer of Lafarge Ce-ment South Africa, has been appointed chairman of the Executive Committee of the Association of Cementitious Material Producers (ACMP) for the next two years.

On the Move

Lachlan Harris Kevin Pearman Thierry Legrand

Discreet and elegantWith the compact Levolan sliding door system, Geze has created a new discreet and elegant way of fitting manual all-glass sliding doors with functional ease and minimal ef-fort. It is suitable for the most wide-ranging room concepts, including bathrooms. Fitting parts are not visible, while the rollers and the draw-in damping are fully integrated into the running profile. Around ten centimetres prior to the end of the sliding guide, the regulated closing motion softly brings the door to a halt. The sliding door leaves are automatically moved into their end position, gently and almost silently.

Levolan all-glass doors can be created in thicknesses of 8, 10 and 12 millimetres in toughened safety glass, or in laminated safety glass with an accessory set.

Levolan SoftStop avoids impact on the door frame or buf-fer. It protects the fitting from shattering and extends the life span of the sliding door. Trapping fingers is no longer an issue.
