Erith and East Ham Fire Station

OVERVIEW

The purpose:

Energy savings of £¼million over 20 years at

just two of its sites are predicted to be achieved

by London Fire Brigade through effective roof

refurbishment using our Roofing Solutions.

The brigade identified that the roofs at Erith

and East Ham Fire Stations were in need of

refurbishment. Numerous intermediate repairs

had already been undertaken. An efficient solution

was needed to help London Fire Brigade optimise

best value in its asset management and reduce

its requirement for planned- or unplanned-

maintenance.

London Fire Brigade therefore turned to

Currie & Brown construction management

consultants to oversee the design and execution

of the refurbishment projects under a contract

management framework agreement in place

between the two organisations. We was called

in to assess the roofs and advise on a course of

action. Data driven roof condition reports from

surveys were taken across the two premises. We

highlighted that the roofs were beyond economical

repair and needed new waterproofing and

insulation- a U value of 5.00W/m2K was discovered

in one roof area, against the Regulatory threshold

of 0.35W/m2K and best practice 0.18W/m2K.


Our solution:

We advised that in the main, overlaying of the existing roof covering

with CP-20 Paracoat Cold Polyurea Liquid System (warm roof)

application was the most-efficient and cost-effective solution.

The over-laying using the CP-20 system satisfies London

Fire Brigade’s policy of preference for flame-free, with no roof

replacement needed this minimised waste to landfill.

Our Approved Contractor CWG Group won the contracts to

undertake the upgrading, working to Langley’s detailed individual

specifications for each site.

At East Ham Fire Station, four main roof areas plus a separate

ancillary building were addressed.

LangGuard free-standing safety rail was installed around the

perimeter of roofs 1 and 4.

The final touch for the field roof area was provided with Paracoat

Fast SF slip-inhibiting finish to agreed walkway areas.

At Erith Fire Station, the refurbishment involved upgrading two

roof areas including a rooftop tank room and adjoining canopy of

corrugated PVC over the Station building, and a separate stores roof.
