A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Maccaferri reinforced soil solution from Maccaferri, which we summarised at the time by saying "Maccaferri complex reinforced soil structure spans drainage culvert as part of the Inverness Parks Farm distributor road project.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Growing support for carpet take-back recycling from Axion Recycling: "Carpet Recycling UK reports growing interest in waste carpet take-back schemes that divert material from landfill for recycling.".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from Monodraught - take a look at New Monodraught ceiling-mounted Cool-phase which says: "Monodraught extend the application of PCM technology with the launch of a ceiling-mounted version of its Cool-phase ventilation and heat recovery system.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Sika, Sika new MaxTack water-based instant grab adhesive, as well as TemPoint fire detection and protection system from EMS Group, and Sentinel water treatment products on safari from Sentinel Performance Solutions.
