A high acoustic performance was needed for the new Event Complex in Aberdeen

Able to host international conferences, industry leading exhibitions and live performances, The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA) opened in 2019 to wide acclaim for both its facilities and the structure’s stunning appearance: attributable in part to the choice of a roof design featuring Kalzip® standing seam profiles.

In fact, the manufacturer helped evolve a high-specification build-up which – once current restrictions allow concerts and conferences to resume – will provide an acoustic performance that can prevent sound break-out or any disruption from what is an unusually noisy setting.

The TECA is built for a capacity of 15,000 people

Aberdeen City Council has hailed the development as being expected to boost the country’s economy by £63 million a year. The main building, constructed at a cost of cost £333 million, has already hosted acclaimed bands and crucial business conferences, most notably the Offshore Europe Expo in 2019.

Representing a key element in the council’s long-term strategy, the extensive structure was designed by the highly regarded Keppie Architects and built by Robertson Construction. In addition to preventing noise disturbance from music events, the facility’s proximity to Aberdeen Airport, with its numerous commercial flights and helicopters ferrying workers out to the North Sea oil and gas platforms, further raised the bar on acoustic performance for the 15,000 capacity arena, and led to the involvement of Edinburgh based specialist consultancy, Sandy Brown.

Appraising the acoustician’s involvement, Sandy Brown stated: “During the design stages, we highlighted the need for significant areas of sound absorbent treatment to control reverberation in the arena and conference halls, and undertook computer modelling of various early design options. Then as part of the commissioning, a large arena sound system was used to simulate worst-case amplified music levels in the arena and main conference halls and the noise levels were confirmed to meet the criteria at all nearby dwellings.”

An Outstanding sound reduction was the main key for Kalzip

Kalzip® was able to supply the project team with a wealth of technical data and acoustic analysis from other high profile projects it has been involved with across Scotland; including the SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow.  This therefore enabled the manufacturer to work with the architects and acoustician on evolving the ideal roof build-up to control both the noise of performances and the sort of low Hertz reverberation generated by helicopter rotors.

In order to achieve an outstanding 55 dB sound reduction figure, the roof features a bespoke Kalzip® system comprising 14 separate components, including rock mineral wool slabs for acoustic attenuation; while the 1mm gauge, 65/400 profile version of the manufacturer’s world renowned aluminium roofing system, with a stucco embossed finish, weathers the system.

The manufacturer’s ability to offer site rolling further facilitated the installation of 100+ metre lengths of the profile direct onto the roof structure, thereby avoiding the need for overlaps anywhere over the arena and enhancing the weather resistance of the envelope.

Kalzip® duly provided a 25 year guarantee for the completed installation through the system will deliver a minimum 40 year service life. With more of the material employed for cladding walls and the other roofs to the exhibition complex, a total of 27,000 m² of the 65/400 stucco embossed profile were supplied for the contract: the success of which has led to further work with Robertson Construction such as at Bertha Park in Perth.

In addition to the technical advantages of the new TECA, the architecture of the project should also be emphasised

The 7 stations of the Orange Line in Bangkok — Kalzip supplies roofing sheets

/в , /от

Bangkok’s metro network is getting a new rail line.

Rendering of the Overground Metro Station — © Wikipedia CC

In 2017, the foundation stone was laid for Thailand’s new mega project. A complete metro line is to be built within seven years. At Easter time, the new MRT Orange Line is scheduled to open in 2024.

New construction and extension to the existing metro network

In total, the Orange Line is to be 35.86 km long and have 29 individual above-ground and underground metro stations. The first phase of construction is 23 km long and includes 17 of the 29 stations. About 14 km of the line will be underground with twin single-track tunnels, and about 9 km will be overground. The line will then start at the Taling Chan underground station west of the city centre, cross under the Chao Phraya River near the Somdet Phra Pin Klao Bridge and will connect to the MRTA depot located at the authority’s current office building. Further east, the planned Yellow Line is crossed at Lam Sari station. At Khlong Ban Ma station, the line merges into the elevated section and finally ends at Suwinthawong station.

Start of Kalzip installation in January 2021

A complete roofing concept was planned for the sections of the elevated railway line. For the 7 overground stations, Design Concept Co. Ltd planned with a hard roofing that should be sustainable and durable. It quickly became clear that a Kalzip roof was the right choice. The first roofing sheets for the first of the 7 stations were delivered in January 2021.

Kalzip clads the Elementary School Altzaga in Erandio, Spain

/в /от

The elementary school Altzaga impresses with its mix of classical and modern building materials

The extension of the Ikastola ( elementary school ) Altzaga was planned by the architectural office AZAB and replaces the current school gym. Although the general outline of the building has been retained. The architecture of the building is contrary to the existing buildings. Finally, the general structure and the clarity of the corridors on both the first and ground floors have been preserved.

The terminal itself is located directly on the Amador Causeway in Panama City, near the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. The construction of the terminal will enable a new 14-day South Pacific route for cruise ship operators.

In order to comply the current regulations, the inner staircase core was relocated. An lift and emergency exits were integrated into the head walls. The outlines of the former building from 1988 should be reflected in the extension and have to combine modern, new elements with the existing ones.

The mixture of classic building materials used, such as the red brick, the red tiled roof in combination with Kalzip standing seam façade in the RAL colours 9006; 9007 and 7016 initially seems unusual, but it becomes increasingly fascinating at a closer look.

A total of approx. 2000 sqm of Kalzip 65/400, partly perforated with RV 3/5, were installed on the roof and façade.

The Ikastola Altzaga in Ernadio shows how easy traditional building materials can be combined with modern ones.

 

Client:

City of Erandio

Architect:

AZAB Principal Architect

Installer:

Cubiertas y Aislamientos Riojanos, S.L.

 

 

Three RAL colours were used for the roof and the façade. Perforated Kalzip profiled sheets were also installed in the front part of the building.

The combination of the individual building materials can be seen here. The mixture of classic and modern materials harmonises perfectly with each other.

Panama Cruise Ship Terminal

/в , /от

Kalzip covers the new cruise ship terminal in Panama City.

With a total area of 20,000 sqm, the new Panama Cruise Terminal is to become one of the most important cruise ports on the tourism routes of the American Pacific. Thus contribute significantly to the growth of tourism in the Republic of Panama. The planned project by the architectural office MALLOL Arcitectos allows berthing of two cruise ships with up to 5,000 passengers each. Two large ships with a length of up to 380 metres/1,247 feet each can dock at one of the two piers.

The terminal itself is located directly on the Amador Causeway in Panama City, near the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. The construction of the terminal will enable a new 14-day South Pacific route for cruise ship operators.

The heart of the terminal is the large roof with more than 16,000 sqm of Kalzip 65/400 aluminium profiled sheets with a material thickness of 0.9 mm. The special feature is the Kalzip profiled sheets coating (PVDF in the colour Dark Pastel Green Metallic). This coating contributes to an architectural highlight of the terminal.

 

The roof structure of the cruise terminal is designed as a triangle. In aerial view the entire architecture, including the two piers, looks like an arrow.

Kempegowda International Airport — Terminal 2

Kalzip supplies material for the «Garden City of India».

The new Terminal T2 at Kempegowda International Airport in Bangaluru, India, was designed as a garden in the Garden Concept. After completion of the first construction phase, it will be around 255,000 square meters in size and connect travelers with nature. Trees, small gardens and ponds with local and exotic plant species form the interior.

Plant bells hang from the ceiling at the entrance, at check-in and at the security checkpoint. Beyond these rooms, a large indoor garden with waterfalls will form the gateway to the sales rooms.

The shopping area is connected to the gates by the terminal’s characteristic room — a huge, three-storey «forest belt» designed to create a soothing nature experience for departing and arriving passengers. The materials for the interior are designed close to nature.

Designed as a roof, the roof consists of 11 fields and a supporting ceiling, acoustic panel, insulation panel, sealing line and Kalzip 65 / 400 to meet the acoustic and thermal requirements according to LEED. The roof is interspersed with 195 skylights to allow natural daylight. Kalzip is very proud to contribute to an innovative and renowned project like this.

 

The roof structure of the SD135/310 (overstretched 3000 mm c/c, in the color Benjamin Moore 1110) is in line with the open bamboo ceiling.

Kalzip shares its expertise with Normek FC Facade is now also produced and distributed in Finland

Normek is further developing its product portfolio in the area of building envelopes and is thus expanding further in Scandinavia: The Normek production plant in Alavus now has a FC facade production line from Kalzip. With the support of the German colleagues, the first FC facade order was successfully completed.

The patented Kalzip FC facade system continues the development of the suspended, ventilated metal facade for an intelligent building envelope and sets standards in terms of flexibility, ease of assembly and cost-effectiveness.

With the Kalzip FC facade system, architects and planners have a variable and at the same time installation-friendly construction product available for the implementation of new construction and renovation projects.

The intelligent assembly technology saves time on the construction site. The easy clicking on of the system components makes assembly particularly economical. The freely selectable mounting direction from top to bottom or from bottom to top brings absolute flexibility. FC Facade is suitable for installation on all substructures and is therefore often the most economical and structurally best solution.

FC Facade also scores points when it comes to dismantling: with the FC Toolkit, it is possible to replace individual, damaged or highly contaminated FC facade panels quickly and easily. Time- and cost-intensive dismantling of entire facade surfaces is no longer necessary and thus also makes maintenance very economical.
