Last week, Torben Andersen visited Utrecht, Holland to test a pre-fabricated separating wall system that has not yet been used commercially in the UK. The system comprises both leaves of the wall, insulation and framework constructed off-site which enables considerable time and cost savings on-site.
Our client at the Olympic Village wanted the confidence that such a system would be suitable for use and could provide the high level of sound insulation required between residences on their proposed scheme. The testing was a success and indicates that the system can indeed provide the necessary acoustic performance while offering them significant cost savings.
