TESTING AND DESIGN
Fire Testing
We have continued building upon our vast testing experience this year and have carried out a number of Facade (BS8414) and Internal Partitions (BS476 Part 22) fire tests with our long established manufacturing partners. These tests were carried out at the Efectis Facility in University of Ulster. We will continue our testing in 2021.

Design Capabilities
City Tower One Nine Elms On this residential project Errigal are required to prototype the building in the virtual environment in accordance with UK BIM standards. Producing a fully coordinated BIM Model allows Errigal to “Clash Detect” with the various other trades eliminating site conflicts and increasing site productivity. Errigal has the ability to use this model to review build sequences, schedule and quantify materials to their specific locations and using a digital tablet to superimpose the design on site.

Site team setting out.
‘BIM to site and back again.’ We can now relay setting out information from our developed 3D models to robotic total stations in the field. This allows us to precisely set out all elements from the model, then load any alterations due to site variations back in the model to produce an “As Built” model.
