Harmer From Alumasc – The Very Best In Floor Drainage Solutions

Nicola Perrins — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 22:46:18 +0000

The latest range of Harmer aluminium floor drains from Alumasc represents the best in modern drainage solutions, offering reduced material and labour costs at every stage of the build programme.

The benefits of Harmer floor drains are clear – just two body types and three interchangeable styles of grating meet the needs of almost every imaginable floor drainage application, negating the need for over a hundred alternative components.

The range has been designed with the needs of fast track building projects in mind, where installation speed is paramount. All models offer direct connection to the drainage system and grating assemblies are adjustable.

In use, Harmer floor drains surpass the brand’s reputation for durability and longevity of performance. Their high quality engineering pays off in a high flow rate that meets and often exceeds current British Standards. The drains are corrosion resistant, and the smooth finishes are both tough and hygienic.

Harmer Roof Outlets chosen for Gloucester Quays

Nicola Perrins — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 13:43:47 +0000

Harmer Roof Outlets from Alumasc have been chosen for a challenging installation at Gloucester’s largest retail development.

Designed by Dyer Associates of London, Gloucester Quays is a £200million scheme, comprising over 150,000m² of floor space and an 18,000m² Factory Outlet Centre. Located alongside the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, the development is a key part of the regeneration of Gloucester’s historic town centre, setting a benchmark in contemporary design. The main contractor was Bovis Lend Lease.

Alumasc worked closely with installers T Clarke Bristol Ltd to overcome the challenge presented by complex roof build-up at Gloucester Quays’ car park. Various areas of asphalt and liquid waterproofing membranes demanded the specification of a robust yet versatile drainage system able to accommodate the differing build-up thicknesses. Harmer Car Park Outlets were fitted using a double clamping ring which could be adjusted to suit the requirements of the waterproofing layer.

The Harmer system enabled fast installation, with a flush-fitting, hard-wearing result capable of withstanding cars and light commercial vehicles to a maximum single wheel loading of 1 tonne and total weight of approximately 255 kg/m2.

The Harmer Roof Outlet range includes Detail outlets for use in multi-level car parks, balconies and gulleys, AV high capacity outlets for flat roof projects and Insulated outlets used mainly in metal deck warm and inverted roof installations. They are all lightweight, durable and non-corrodible, offering ease of installation in projects that present awkward roof detailing. Offering high performance and minimal maintenance requirements, Harmer Roof Outlets are diecast in LM6 aluminium silicon alloy to BS 1490: 1988, offering a BBA approved powder coating on grate and clamping collar.

In accordance with Alumasc’s environmental policy, Harmer Roof Outlets are manufactured under the ISO14001:2004 environmental management standard using 100% recyclable Aluminium.

Nicola Perrins — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 16:51:54 +0000

Alumasc has provided a package of Harmer drainage products for a multi award-winning ‘landmark’ building in Northern Ireland.

Harmer SML Soil and Waste Systems, Roof Outlets and Floor Drains were used at Mossley Mill in Newtownabbey which has achieved the Times/Gestener Office of the Year Award, NI Construction Excellence Award, RICS Award and Civic Trust Award.

Designed by Ostick & Williams, Mossley Mill was originally a flax spinning mill built in 1834 by a local cotton manufacturer. The recent £16million redevelopment by Graham Construction was undertaken in two phases, restoring the mill to its former glory. It is now home to Newtownabbey Borough Council and a Civic Arts and Cultural Centre with a new theatre, museum and conferencing facilities.

Harmer SML cast iron socketless soil and waste system and Harmer Floor Drains were chosen for the public facilities in the Theatre. SML is an Agrement certified system and meets European Standard BS EN 877. This lightweight, dry jointed pipework system is suitable for both soil and waste or rainwater installations, offering ease of installation and low maintenance requirements.

Harmer Floor Drains comprise drain bodies in powder coated aluminium, available with an extensive range of round and square grates in stainless steel or nickel bronze. The range is suited to virtually any interior drainage application and all types of flooring. The drain bodies are available either trapped or untrapped, with vertical or horizontal spigot connection and with or without side outlets for connection to sink, bath shower and waste.

High performance Harmer AV Roof outlets were chosen for the flat roof due to their high flow rates and suitability for use with all waterproofing membranes. They are available in aluminium alloy or gunmetal with spigot or screw connection for vertical, horizontal or 45º discharge.

Harmer SML, Floor Drains and Roof Outlets are fully compatible, enabling flexible design solutions to be found for all soil, waste and rainwater drainage applications.
