New Extension for Saxon Packaging

Tilia Properties have recently carried out groundwork and civils for a new extension at Saxon Packaging Ltd, Harvest Drive, Lowestoft, Suffolk.

The foundations were set out and the excavation work then commenced, which involved excavating through Tarmac, then concrete into blue clay. We’re pleased to report that all foundation work went well, as did the substantial excavations for the stanchion bases.

Once all this work was complete, the bolt boxes were installed and the concrete poured. The steel erection went smoothly and the cladding work is now in progress, prior to the placement of the concrete floor, along with the drainage connections and external tarmac works, which will complete the project.

Paul King, MD of Saxon Packaging Ltd has nothing but praise for Tilia and the work carried out, stating, “I have been involved in many construction projects over the years and I have to say that Tilia Properties Ltd have been by far the best contractor I have dealt with. From the planning stages and throughout the construction phase of the project, Tilia have been notable by their professionalism and quality of work carried out. We have been so impressed with the results achieved, we are already planning to use Tilia Properties for our next project.”

Eco Construction

Construction of Tilia’s new B-24 building on the Rackheath Industrial Estate, Norwich is progressing well, with solar power being used during the actual refurbishment, in addition to eventually providing electricity for the completed Business Centre.

Following initial construction of the building’s shell and roof, which includes solar panels to power the 3kw system, additional work is being carried out using the power generated by solar energy. It could be said to be an ‘eco-construction’, with contractors running their electrical equipment from the highly efficient solar powered energy system.

Minister Opens New Eco Build

The Eco and Business Training Centre (also known as the ‘Cube’) recently completed by Tilia on the Rackheath Industrial Estate, has gained approval from the Department of Energy & Climate Change.

Minister of State, Greg Barker, opened the centre for Broadland District Council on 18th May, praising the authority and the building.

Triple glazing, high levels of insulation, a rainwater harvesting system, solar panels and lighting operated by motion sensors are just some of the features Tilia incorporated, to create an energy efficient building with a low impact on the environment in line with the aims of the Department of Energy & Climate Change.

The ‘Cube’ is a great example of how buildings of the future should be constructed, being both cost efficient and less of a drain on the environment. If you are interested in a more environmentally friendly, energy efficient building for your company, then contact Tilia Properties Limited via our website www.tiliaproperties.co.uk or give us a call on 01603 722892 or email develop@tiliaproperties.co.uk

TILIA COMPLETE ECO BUILD ON RACKHEATH

Tilia Properties is pleased to announce the recent completion of the Eco and Business Training Centre for Broadland District Council on the Rackheath Industrial Estate.

Tilia has worked in conjunction with several local suppliers and subcontractors to construct the cube-like building, with the emphasis placed on ecological features and practices, in order to reduce running costs and environmental damage.

Walls, flooring and roofing have all been insulated to a high standard in order to minimise heat loss and also limit noise levels, meaning that students in the lower floor classes will not be disturbed by sounds from the floor above. The installation of premium quality triple glazed windows with a U-value of 1 (U Value is the measurement of the rate of heat loss through a material and should be lower than 2 in this instance), further reduce heat loss, lowering fuel bills. Meanwhile, solar photovoltaic panels sited on the roof will efficiently provide low budget heating and hot water to the centre, whilst the inclusion of a rainwater harvesting system serving the toilet facilities will lower water consumption, a key point in view of the current water shortage.

Internally, there is a high standard of finish throughout the training rooms and offices, including installation of a food technology kitchen, a bespoke steel staircase and a lift to the first floor, ensuring the centre is accessible to all.

Tilia prides itself on the finish of this flagship building, which we believe to be a great model for ecological efficient builds of the future. Director Nick Hovey enthuses, “The Cube, as it has been affectionately called, is finished to a high standard throughout and is compliant with all current building regulations whilst featuring many innovative ecological features. The centre is designed to have lower energy costs than similar buildings of the past. It was a pleasure to work with Chris Hill of Broadland District Council, and I would like to thank him for being so appreciative of our hard work and ability to complete the project on time and within budget.”

The new centre is now open on Ramirez Road at the Rackheath Industrial Estate and is running a range of BCTS training courses.

Tilia/SEH Commercial Eco Training Partnership

Tilia Properties has recently completed construction of the Eco Training Centre on the Rackheath Industrial Estate.

The project has been a pleasure to work on, resulting in Tilia’s involvement with several other excellent local companies. Recent input has come from SEH Commercial, who provided competitively priced triple glazing, which involved levelling the long windows with the upper floor level. Working within DDA regulations, SEH have installed windows with a low leakage rate, receiving a high rating due to an air test of 4.8, which will result in lower heating and cooling costs for the building.

Tilia would like to thank Craig Forder, SEH’s Commercial Sales Manager, for all his hard work, providing excellent quotes and liaising with the architect. The finished results are very pleasing and the building is set to become a welcome asset to the local business and schools community.

Broadland Council Training Services has now commenced training programmes at the centre, which will be run cost-efficiently due to its many eco-friendly features provided by Tilia Properties and other local companies such as SEH Commercial.
