1 like•244 views
The National Gallery and Science Museum in London required extensive roof upgrades and maintenance to protect valuable exhibits. Both sites selected Sika Sarnafil membrane solutions to improve insulation, reduce energy usage, and lower utility bills. Over 12,000 square meters of Sarnafil membrane were installed at the National Gallery over 30 projects since 1995. The Science Museum's aging roofs were replaced in a series of tenders won by Delomac Roofing using Sarnafil. The lightweight, flame-free application ensured minimal disruption to visitors viewing historic aircraft. The roof refurbishments were designed and installed to a high standard by Delomac, backed by Sika Sarnafil's guarantees, to protect the exhibits for years to come.

A LARRAGY LONG PRINTS
The document discusses plans to convert a large industrial warehouse in Naas, County Kildare into a new tourism attraction centered around Ireland's Iron Age. The 15.8 acre former factory site contains a large warehouse building with ample space for facilities and expansion. It is located near a major highway junction, making it very accessible. The proposal is to develop the warehouse interior and exterior as an interactive visitor experience involving scenes from the late Iron Age portrayed by professional performers. The rest of the site would be developed in a way that buffers the project while providing additional commercial opportunities. The goal is to create a much-needed all-weather tourism attraction that would employ a skilled local workforce.

Automatisierung im DWH - Sich das Leben erleichern mit dem ODI
http://www.opitz-consulting.com
"Automatisierung im DWH" war das Thema unserer Experten Marian Strüby und Dr. Jens Bleiholder zusammen mit Ulf Jeffke, Manager Voice & Data Anlalyst - Vodafone Kabel Deutschland, bei der DOAG 2015 Konferenz und Ausstellung.
Modularisierung, Standardisierung, Automatisierung. Mit diesen drei Stichworten kann man die Vorteile des ODI 12c als ETL-Tool im eigenen DWH-Projekt auf den Punkt bringen. Der ODI eröffnet hier eine ganze Reihe an Möglichkeiten, die Entwicklung eines DWH zu beschleunigen, dem Entwickler Arbeit abzunehmen und gleichzeitig die Entwicklung zuverlässiger und fehlerfreier zu machen. Dabei wird die Entwicklung noch wesentlich effizienter, wenn man auch bei Datenmodellierung und Architektur auf Modularisierung, Standardisierung und Automatisierung achtet und z.B. Data Vault verwendet. Anhand von Beispielen aus einem Kundenprojekt stellen wir unsere Erfahrungen auf diesem Gebiet vor und zeigen, wie der ODI 12c im Projekt dabei hilft und ein DWH größtmöglich automatisiert, aufzubauen: Generieren von Datenmodellen und zugehörigen Mappings, automatisches Deployment, Anpassung von Knowledge-Modulen etc. Den Kunden freut es, bekommt er nun mehr DWH für sein Geld. Den Entwickler freut es, muss er nun nicht mehr die langweiligen immer gleichen Arbeiten erledigen. Den Endanwender freut es, bleibt nun mehr Zeit übrig, um auf seine Probleme und Businesslogik einzugehen.

- 1. SIKA AT WORK NATIONAL GALLERY AND SCIENCE MUSEUM, LONDON The National Gallery The Science Museum, London
- 2. NATIONAL GALLERY AND SCIENCE MUSEUM, LONDON REQUIREMENT The National Gallery and the Science Museum - two of London’s major and iconic visitor attractions built more than 150 years ago – required an extensive programme of roof upgrades and maintenance. It was extremely important to protect the exhibits housed below for future generations to enjoy and to ensure that the buildings’ heritage was respected. For this reason a comprehensive guarantee was required on the roof refurbishment, from a trusted supplier. At both sites, environmental and whole life cost considerations were key in material specification – with a target to reduce energy use. Improved insulation and roof coverings would also need to deliver the added benefit of reducing utility bills for the client. 2 SIKA AT WORK NATIONAL GALLERY AND SCIENCE MUSEUM, LONDON
- 3. 3 SIKA AT WORK National Gallery and Science Museum, London SIKA SARNAFIL SOLUTION Both the National Gallery and the Science Museum benefited from an extensive planned roof maintenance programme, using Sika Sarnafil membranes and specialist contractor, Delomac Roofing. Working with the National Gallery since 1995, the roof replacement and thermal upgrading project has seen in excess of 12,000sq m of Sika Sarnafil membranes installed, together with insulation, roof lights and walkways in a series of over 30 completed projects – including the complete Sainsbury Wing in 2008. Working closely with the client and architect, specifications have been delivered using the Sika Sarnafil Partner Supply Chain to ensure watertight and long-lasting protection to the priceless works of art on display. At the Science Museum, ageing and poorly insulated roof coverings were targeted for upgrade and replacement in a series of tender awards, all successfully won by Delomac and Sika Sarnafil. With the impact of rising utility costs, effective thermal upgrades were completed with the roof works, delivering tangible cost savings. The Science Museum’s Flight Gallery houses many historic planes, including a Spitfire, a prototype Harrier and a cut cross section from a Jumbo Jet. Visitors were able to safely enjoy these exhibits without disruption while these important roof works were completed close by. The lightweight membranes and considered planned specifications allowed system overlays with an entirely flame-free cold application, ensuring minimal internal disturbance to visitor experience. NATIONAL GALLERY AND SCIENCE MUSEUM, LONDON
- 4. As with all London sites – particularly with huge public visitor numbers, logistical issues were challenging; but the advantage of a unified supply chain with out of hours early deliveries ensured zero risk to arriving footfall. The roof refurbishments on both buildings have been designed and carried out to an exceptionally high standard. Delomac’s effective installation, backed by Sika Sarnafil’s robust guarantees, ensure the wonderful exhibits will be protected and enjoyed for years to come.
