Excalibur double skin, steel partitioning from Troax used in Bristol Robotics Laboratory upgrade
As part of an upgrade and expansion programme, contractor Curtis Partitioning has used the Excalibur double skin, steel partitioning system from Troax to construct a research facility at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL).
Contractor Curtis Partitioning used a combination of full steel and glazed panels from Troax's Excalibur range.
Excalibur partitioning was chosen for this laboratory application as it offers a high level of cleanliness due to the design of its panels which are flush both sides and have minimal ledges and corners.
The double skin design, which is a monobloc construction comprising two steel skins separated by an inert insulating infill, is said to offer excellent sound and heat insulation properties while complying with all relevant Health and Safety legislation.
BRL is a research partnership funded by the University of Bristol, the University of the West of England and the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
The BRL complex is an advanced robotics facility, bringing together university and industrial researchers in a range of projects such as the development of robotic care assistants to help the aged, domestic and industrial cleaning robots and new forms of articifical limbs.
Steve Curtis of Curtis Partitioning commented: “Excalibur was the obvious choice for the BRL project as it not only looks extremely good and has a very high quality finish, but it’s also very competitively priced. The quality is exceptional and the powder coated paint finish is very durable and hardwearing.”
