Breathing life into an old building often poses many challenges for both engineering consultants and contractors alike.  Following the recent spate of earthquakes, Christchurch has been faced with the immense task of rebuilding a shattered city, in many instances from the ground up.  Nevertheless, throughout the city, buildings have withstood the forces of nature. One of these is the ACC building, which underwent a refurbishment that featured Kingspan Koolduct.

Suitable for the refurbishment of existing buildings as well as new builds (such as the Selwyn Aquatic Centre), Kingspan KoolDuct creates a system with minimal air leakage compared to insulated sheet metal ductwork aiding in significantly reducing operating costs.  Furthermore, the capacity to fabricate 4 metre-long sections of ductwork enables contractors to install the system faster and with less handling, offering savings on installation costs.
