A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Building in fire and smoke protection from ACO Building Drainage, which we summarised at the time by saying "Peter Jennings, Technical Director for ACO Building Drainage, looks at how poor planning of drainage systems can contribute directly to the spread of fire in large buildings.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release REHAU supply pressure pipe for Carlsberg brewery from REHAU: "More than 900m of its RAUISO Food PE-Xa pressure pipe was used to connect its expanded production facility to a bottling and distribution plant approximately 50m away.".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from Wilo - take a look at Water supply surge protection in tall buildings which says: "Wilo UK work with contractors, local authorities and housing association, installing its reliable, energy efficient, water booster sets to ensure a quality supply of potable water .".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Polypipe Building Products, Technical Installation Guide published by Polypipe, as well as Gent by Honeywell launches air sampling range from Gent, and Flir thermal imaging used to save public spending from Flir Systems.
