BARNSLEY SCHOOLS PROJECTS UTILISING ZIP-CLIP PLUS-ON-WIRE SYSTEM
In 2009 a new wave of projects began in Barnsley under the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) government investment programme. The projects covered the following schools: Pennistone Grammar*, Carlton School, Kirkbalk School, Denton School, Shafton School and Springwell School
Crown House Technologies (CHT) undertook mechanical and electrical installations on all of the projects and utilised Zip-Clip’s innovative heavy-duty support systems to hang the modular containment on each of the schools.
Suspension from Concrete Ceiling
• Suspension wires were secured to the concrete ceilings using Zip-Clip
Con-Lock hammer-set fixings prior to module installation.
• Zip-Clip locking clips were placed on wires ready to be installed into channel.
• Each support offered a Safe Working Load of 90kg with safety factor of 5:1.
Pipe Work Module Installation
• The Zip-Clip Plus-on-Wire system was used to support pipe work modules.
• Wires were fixed using M8 eye-bolts into uni-strut with a channel nut.
• Wire was passed through slots of the strut at the bottom of the support.
• A locking clip was fed up each wire behind the strut to form a fix.
• Modules were raised into position and locking clips were fixed into place,
allowing for easy adjustment if required
Cable Basket Module Installation
• Suspension wires were secured using M8 eye-bolts into Unistrut.
• Locking clips were secured into the profile of the channel.
• Wires were passed through the locking clips to secure modules in place
Suspension from Ceiling Fixed Channel
• Wire drops were fixed to ceiling using M8 eye-bolts into channel.
• Locking clips were secured into the profile of the channel.
• Wire was finally pushed through the locking clips and the containment was secured at the desired height.
DP Building Systems and Zip-Clip are available to provide wire suspension expertise from initial
concept and planning through to installation and compliance sign-off.
