Spencer Place Façade Test Rig
Our façade test rig, built for Spencer Place, passed the full CWCT Sequence B testing. The test rig included jumbo unitised panels at 3m x 4m with mock feature fins fixed and is the largest we have built thus far at 8m x 6m.
In accordance with CWCT Standard for Systemised Building Envelopes – Part 8 Section 8.13.5; Pre-Testing for Air & Water, we carried out the following tests with Building Envelope Technologies Ltd.:
- Pre-load the test specimen with 3 number positive air pulses @660Pa (110% of peak test pressure)
- Air Leakage – Infiltration CWCT Section 5
- Air Leakage – Exfiltration CWCT Section 5
- Water Penetration – Static Pressure CWCT Section 6
- Wind Resistance – Serviceability CWCT Section 11
- Repeat Air Leakage – Infiltration CWCT Section 5
- Repeat Air Leakage – Exfiltration CWCT Section 5
- Repeat Water Penetration – Static Pressure CWCT Section 6
- Water Penetration – Dynamic Aero Engine CWCT Section 7
- Water Penetration – Hose CWCT Section 9
- Wind Resistance – Safety CWCT Section 12
- Impact Resistance – Serviceability & Safety CWCT Section 15
- Dismantle, Inspect & Report
