Double skin steel partitioning system
July 1st 2009 Troax's double skin, steel
partitioning system, Excalibur,
has been used to construct a
research facility at the Bristol
Robotics Laboratory (BRL).
Contractor Curtis
Partitioning used a
combination of full steel and
glazed panels from the
Excalibur range of modular
partitioning to build the 25 x
25m square research unit,
where students work on the
development of hundreds of
different types of robots, from
wheeled and walking robots
to flying and underwater
models. The open plan area
accommodates computer
workstations as well as
facilities for carrying out
practical work on robot parts
such as heads and torsos.
Excalibur offers a high level
of cleanliness due to the flush
design of its panels, which
have minimal ledges and
corners. Its double skin design
(which is of monobloc
construction, comprising two
steel skins separated by an
inert insulating infill) also
offers excellent sound and
heat insulation properties and
complies with all relevant
Health and Safety legislation. More articles from Troax (UK) Limited: |
