Case Study: Nissen Hut for Rolls Royce
Background
Rolls Royce Motor Cars is a luxury automobile manufacturer that prides itself on providing its customers with high-quality vehicles. The company has several facilities around the world where they design and produce their cars, including a Nissen Hut located in the UK.
The Nissen Hut is used to amend the last parts of the cars before they go to the market. The Hut needed to meet high safety standards to ensure the safety of the workers and the cars.
Challenge
The Nissen Hut needed to comply with British safety regulations for fire safety to ensure the safety of the workers and the vehicles. Additionally, the Nissen Hut needed to be insulated to prevent heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
Solution
To address the safety and insulation needs of the Nissen Hut, the company enlisted the help of specialist installers Spray Foam Tech to apply closed cell foam insulation and DC315 fireproof coating.
The insulation was 50mm thick and had a class 1 fire rating, while the fireproof coating achieved a class B fire spread by European standards. This ensured that the Hut complied with the high safety standards required for the project.
Results
The insulation and fireproof coating applied to the Nissen Hut were highly successful. The closed cell foam insulation prevented heat loss and improved energy efficiency, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs.
The fireproof coating achieved a class B fire spread, ensuring that the Hut was highly resistant to fire and complied with European safety regulations. The successful completion of the project ensured the safety of the workers and the cars in the Nissan Hut.
