Jointing Technologies, a Tyco Thermal Controls' Distributor Partner, has installed Raychem electric underfloor heating systems at the car park serving Terminal 3 at Heathrow Airport.

Jointing Technologies, a Tyco Thermal Controls' Distributor Partner, has installed Raychem electric underfloor heating systems at the car park serving Terminal 3 at Heathrow Airport It has been employed as an anti-slip measure under the tiled floors of the pedestrian arrivals/departure concourses in the car park and across the link-bridge to the Terminal building

The concourses and link-bridge are large, fully glazed areas where space heating is not required, even though there is considerable heat loss through external doors.

Here, instead of providing space heating, the underfloor heating function is to maintain slab temperatures above the dew-point to prevent moisture condensing on the smooth tiled floor surfaces and making them slippery.

Jointing Technologies was able to offer a total underfloor heating services package for the client and contractor, in partnership with the manufacturer Tyco Thermal Controls.

Contracted by Carillion Plc, they also worked closely with project consultants to design this highly effective system solution.

In all, Jointing Technologies supplied and installed more than 21/2km of Raychem heating cables, DigiTrace controls using relays and also the distribution panels.
