The Holiday Inn Express Newcastle is a six-storey, modern hotel built in 2008. The existing facade was not compliant with the latest building regulations due to missing vertical fire barriers and the use of expanded polystyrene insulation (EPS) in the rendered facade. It consisted of an external insulated render, terracotta panels, Fortcrete blocks at ground level and glazing spandrel panels which hide the reinforced concrete frame.
To achieve compliance we:
- Insulation backed render removed and fitted with new fire compliant external wall insulation —957m
- Terracotta open-state rain screen cladding, temporarily removed, horizontal and vertical intumescent fire barriers fitted to RC fame—120 linear metres of fire barrier.
- Glazing spandrel panels which were temporarily removed, fire barrier fitted and glazing panels replaced —155 linear meters of fire barrier.
- Fortcrete block work45 linear metres of fire barrier fitted.
Elliott Group management and staff were evolved from the inception stage to the commissioning and handover. We understand this is not just a construction project but about providing a quality product for the client, their insurers and guests.. All fire barriers were photographed and recorded on Procore and used as a handover document. The scaffolding was designed by our scaffolding subcontractor and cross-checked by our independent scaffolding structural engineer before being certified.
