“350 locations in 35 countries” is how we can geolocate the company Smurfit Kappa on the net. With more than fifty factories in France alone, this European leader in the cardboard sector organizes constant maintenance of its investments, while taking care of the well-being of its employees. It is in accordance with this corporate policy that the Cestas recycling plant, located in Gironde, has been renovated.
The Aquitaine Fire Safety company at the maneuvers
This implementation of compliance was finalized at the beginning of March 2020. The Aquitaine Sécurité Incendie (ASI) company, located 25 km from the site, worked in less than a week to complete the work. A team of 5 people visited the site. The latter worked to make a structure perfectly equipped while carrying out an overall rehabilitation of the smoke extraction system. The team also installed a new cantonment screen.
Bluetek: the assurance of safety and comfort
Yvan Texier, manager of the Aquitaine Sécurité Incendie company, is used to working with Bluetek products and services, just as he is used to dealing with his privileged regional contact: Julien Santos. With regard to the client's criteria and the building's configuration, discussions quickly focused on products from the Bluetek range, i.e. DENFC-type skylights specific to fibro renovation, thermal improvement devices for roofs with waterproofing. , slavings and a cantonment screen. This combination allows, on the one hand, the guarantee of an efficient smoke extraction system, and on the other hand, a comfort assured by the reduction of heat losses and by the diffusion of a new quality natural light inside. buildings.
Bluebac, Bluesteel and Bluecoif: suitable skylights
The renovation has been carried out in large part by devices specially designed for fiber cement roofs. 15 DENFC model Bluebac rooflights Reno pneumatic tire 110/240 6 1/2 wave profile (pewter gray exterior color RAL 7035) were delivered on pallets. They were installed exclusively from inside the building. Indeed, Bluetek's ergonomic advantage is that the skylight can be fitted entirely from the inside, without mounting or intervening on the roof (be careful, however, to carry out a location diagnosis before work to confirm the absence of asbestos). This organization allows staff to be as secure as possible. In addition, the device is delivered partially disassembled and the installation work for a SHEV of this type can be completed in 1h30.
Depending on the media, other skylights completed this panel, namely:
1 Bluecoif Therm Winch skylight + 100/100 access (allowing access to the roof),
4 Bluesteel Winch 100/100 skylights.
Installing remote controls: a global package
Regarding the recycling building, the control was carried out by 2 two-zone CO² Clip-type boxes. The office section is equipped with BT130 winches with CO² opening control. The social premises part of BT130 winches coupled to a CO² box.
Fire risk and containment screen
Compliance was completed by the installation of a blockade screen. The Smoke Fix Bluetek model guarantees high fire resistance and presents an ideal solution for large buildings. The installed product (gray in color) is 20,83 ml long, for two different heights, ie 1 ml and 3,06 ml, for an overall surface area of 43,48 m². It is made up of 2 parts including a 600 mm overlap.
Customer satisfaction
Specialized in smoke extraction, but also in security linked to fire risks in buildings more generally, the companies Aquitaine Sécurité Incendie and Bluetek therefore report a win / win result in this type of service, one of the companies as installer, the other as supplier. This quality collaboration allows the satisfaction of the owner, but also that of the occupants of the building. The objective is therefore achieved.
