perforated aluminium sheet

16 March 2011

Do you know of a more versatile material than perforated aluminium sheet?

What other element provides so many solutions for acoustic. aesthetic, airflow, light transmission/diffusion, screening, security and weight reduction purposes? You’ve guessed it; there isn’t anything that comes even close to matching up to this incredibly attractive and flexible aluminium sheet material.

Here are some of the special qualities of our top quality perforated aluminium sheet;

Cleanliness: We only use naturally evaporating lubricants to assist with the perforating process.
Edge detail: Standard stock size panels are always supplied with an unpunched ‘safe edge’ border.
Flatness: Our technologically advanced production methods minimise surface curl in perforated sheets and help to produce commercially and visually acceptable degrees of flatness.
Missing or imperfect hole shapes: Although not standard industry practice we only supply perforated aluminium sheets with 100% hole pattern conformity.
Surface protection: Protective polythene film on the top face side is applied to help protect from the rigours of the perforating process.

And what’s more, you can order these top quality perforated aluminium sheet patterns online today for prompt dispatch.

Perforated Aluminium Panels for Groupama Insurance Group

6 December 2010

Project: Groupama Insurance Group

Location: One America Square, London EC3

Product: Perforated Aluminium pattern ref: GA P1607

Finish: Satin Brush ref GA B1420

Project Background:

Suspended perforated aluminium panels have been recently installed in Groupama’s, One America Square offices in the City of London.

GA’ perforated panels successfully met Groupama’s criteria for a contemporary screening material and system that permits light and air to freely flow around the open plan offices.

These specially produced satin brush finish screening panels were manufactured with plain border margins to allow for the attachment of a fixed floor to ceiling stainless steel suspension system.

Aluminium awareness information

Key Facts:
• Aluminium is great for incorporating into environmentally sensitive applications, such as this one.
• Environmentally friendly aluminium is the only recyclable material that more than pays for it’s own re-cycling costs!
• Re-cycling aluminium into new forms only requires 5% of the energy that originally produced it.
• All manufactured aluminium is effectively a stored energy bank for future generations.
• Aluminium is only 1/3rd the weight of steel.
• Aluminium’s surface has a self generating and repairing oxide coating which makes it corrosion resistant and therefore less expensive to maintain than steel and other corrodible metals.

Case Study – BP Valhall Accommodation/Hotel Platform Project

22 September 2010

Project: BP Valhall Accommodation/Hotel Platform

Location: North Sea, Norway

Product: Aluminium Wall Cladding Type WC2

Material: Perforated Sheet GA P1632 & Plain Aluminium Sheet GA 1539

Finish: Powder Coated RAL 7045 & RAL 7047

Client: BP Norge

Specifier: SLP Engineering

Project Background

BP Valhall Accommodation/Hotel Platform Project

The Valhall platform is located in the North Sea off the coast of Norway and is one of the largest offshore brownfield projects ever attempted across the globe. The $2.4billion project was to build a new accommodation/production platform, preserving a proportion of the existing infrastructure which was pending eventual decommissioning and to stop reservoir subsidence in order to extend field life to 2049.

The new production and hotel platform – has a design life of 40 years. It is sized for production of about 120,000 barrels of oil and 143million cu ft of gas per day; water handling capability of 200,000bpd; a topsides weight of some 16,000 tonnes, and jacket weighing in at 7,500 tonnes.

Project Details
Working with renowned SLP Engineering, Gooding Aluminium were contracted to supply aluminium wall cladding Type WC2, combining perforated and plain aluminium sheets, for the atrium accommodation facilities module (Perforated Aluminium Sheet GA P1632 & Plain Aluminium Sheet GA 1539).

Perforated Aluminium Sheet - Wall Cladding - BP Valhall Accommodation

The living quarters house 180 people, they are powered from offshore for additional energy efficiency, but more importantly, the Gooding Aluminium lightweight, powder coated finish perforated sheets weigh 1.38 kg/m2, and the plain aluminium sheets are 5.5 kg/m2. The lightweight nature of the panels helped to bring the platform within the specified weight limit, contributing to the ongoing subsidence control programme.

Perforated Aluminium Sheet - Aluminium Wall Cladding

In total, over 950 aluminium panels were supplied, manufactured and delivered in 4 stages. Each stage delivered ahead of schedule and once again celebrated Gooding Aluminium’s enviable 100% quality control, whereupon no panels were rejected.

Testimonial:

“I chose the Goodings system in preference to a variety of acoustic linings for the following reasons:-
a. Weight/performance met our strict criteria.
b. Reasonably easy to be installed by abseilers i.e. the fixing method and durability provided perfect product.
c. Cost
d. Repairable paint finish
e. Contractor experience of GA.
f. Crisp precise detailing and the system allows acoustic and non acoustic panels in the same coherent system.”
