Optimising Space in Large and Tall Industrial Buildings With Flexible Tensioned Partition Walls

Description

This CPD will help delegates understand how to optimise space in large and tall industrial buildings, when dividing an existing facility's area for efficiency, flexibility and compliance.

It compares traditional partitioning methods with innovative modular and tensioned fabric systems, and looks at the particular challenges faced when dividing facilities with high roof lines and large footprints, where working at height, programme and keeping the building operational all become critical.

Finally, in this CPD we will discuss the ideal attributes of a partitioning system (e.g. cost, health & safety, programme, flexibility), the benefits of a tensioned fabric partition wall (e.g. aesthetics, sustainability) and the legislation and certifications that may be required, including reaction to fire.

By the end of this CPD, delegates ought to:

1. Have an understanding of the pros and cons of traditional versus innovative partitioning systems.
2. Know the challenges faced in partitioning large and tall industrial buildings due to their size and height.
3. Know the ideal attributes of partitioning systems for use in large industrial spaces.
4. Have an overview of the legislation and certifications that may be required.
