The Project
RAM Building Consultancy recently completed a project with one of the UK’s largest pizza restaurant franchises. The project took place at the franchise’s UK manufacturing headquarters, where RAM was tasked with testing the building envelope to ensure it met the necessary integrity and safety standards. Protecting the building from potential leaks was essential to reducing the risk of consequential losses in the food production environment.
The Challenges
Under current legislation, food manufacturers are required to maintain a facility that protects products from contaminants and ensures the building is fit for purpose. The client needed to confirm that their manufacturing headquarters was fully compliant with food safety regulations and that any undetected defects in the roofing system were identified and addressed.
The Solution
RAM employed a range of testing methods, including water-tightness tests and dynamic leak investigations, to verify the integrity of the building envelope. The services provided included consultancy, building integrity testing, and leak investigations, all of which contributed to ensuring the building met the required safety standards. By identifying and rectifying potential issues, RAM helped secure the facility against future risks.
The Results
RAM’s work provided the client with peace of mind, knowing that the building was compliant with food safety legislation and protected from leaks and other potential hazards. The risk of consequential losses due to roofing defects was minimised, ensuring the smooth operation of the manufacturing facility.
Services used:
RAM’s Dynamic Leak Investigation service was essential in detecting and addressing any water ingress issues within the building. By using advanced leak detection methods, RAM ensured that the building envelope was secure, helping to maintain the safety and integrity of the food production environment.
Dynamic Leak Investigation
The Rainwater Outlet Testing service further ensured the integrity of the building’s rainwater management system. By testing the outlets, RAM confirmed that they were functioning correctly, preventing potential water ingress and ensuring the building’s roof remained compliant with food safety standards.
