Turanga Christchurch Central Library meets Marley Akasison

17 May, 2019 by

Behind the clean, uncluttered lines of the very stylish Tūranga Christchurch Central Library, is a highly efficient Marley Akasison siphonic roof drainage system.

And the beauty of it is you can’t see it.
It’s a revolutionary concealed system that rapidly drains water from a roof.

Steve Skidmore, Marley’s National Technical Sales Engineer, worked closely with Architectus and Southbase Construction to design and assist in the installation of a Akasison roof drainage system for this major project.

The Akasison system was ideal for the library as it gave the architects so much more freedom with their design.

The Marley Akasison system siphons water through small pipes installed close to the roof. These pipes can be installed horizontally with zero gradient and they can be routed with far more flexibility than traditional systems. This frees up more usable space within the building as well as giving designers more latitude.

Quite apart from the design advantages the Marley Akasison system delivers, it also stacks up for cost savings. Compared to traditional drainage systems, material and installation costs are reduced because a building requires fewer downpipes and far less groundwork. And it’s self-cleaning.

Because the Marley Akasison siphonic roof drainage system is so new and different to anything on the New Zealand market, Steve Skidmore is the man to talk to. He can offer you a Free trial of our in-house design service or he can come and visit you and determine whether the Marley Akasison system is right for your next project.

Students get the silent treatment

7 March, 2016 by

Victoria House was originally built in 1907 and the Wallis Wing was added to the campus in the 1970’s. With 185 current student residents, the halls can get pretty loud.

In 2014, Fletcher Construction was tasked with a major renovation to modernise the facilities. The scope of work included a broad range of noise-reduction improvements including double glazing, insulated walls and silenced air-conditioning. With multiple bathrooms and kitchens over several floors, a plumbing system that reduced water-flow noise was going to significantly enhance the wellbeing of occupants.

The Marley dBlue® Acoustic Plumbing system was specified because of the benefits of the triple layer polypropylene construction and proprietary rubber lined acoustic brackets that reduce waste water noise. The system offers a full range of pipe and fittings to suit any application.

The dBlue® BRANZ-appraised system is lightweight and didn’t require the wrapping of pipes in acoustic lagging. This lagging-free construction made the product easier for installers Aquaheat Plumbers and helped ensure dBlue® was a time, space and cost saver.

Furthermore, due to the absence of lagging, the dBlue® system can be easily accessed for future inspections and maintenance.

Naisoso Resort, Fiji

Design Challenge: Durability and capacity in a tropical location.

Tough enough for the tropics

Northern Blue Construction and Studio Architects faced such a challenge at the brand new Naisoso island development located in Nadi Bay, Fiji. A short walk from the island’s five-star hotels, gourmet restaurants and vast marina, they have developed a 1000m2 featuring views of Fiji’s tropical hinterland on one side with the idyllic ocean expanse on the other.

Marley’s rugged half-round Magnum® spouting and downpipe system provided the perfect solution, combining style with durability and performance.

One particular challenge for the designers was to safely manage the periods of heavy rainfall common to tropical locations, and do so with spouting and downpipes that would last in the corrosive coastal environment. Marley’s rugged half-round Magnum® spouting and downpipe system provided the perfect solution, combining style with durability and performance. Installer Blueridge Plumbing also remarked on the ease of installation in what was its first experience using Marley Magnum®.

With a spouting cross-sectional area of over 14,000mm2 and large 110mm downpipes, the Marley Magnum® system has the capacity to handle large roofs and tropical downpours. it is made from 100% recyclable uPVC so will never rust even in the harshest coastal locations. Available in light grey with a distinctive external bracket system, Marley Magnum® makes a design statement that lasts.

Northern Blue and Studio are already planning a further four houses on Naisoso island, all featuring the Marley Magnum® spouting and downpipe system.

Wiri Prison, Auckland South

8 January, 2014 by

Earlier this year, Fletcher Building announced that its subsidiary, SecureFuture consortium, was awarded the contract to design, finance, build, operate and maintain a new public/private partnership (PPP) prison in Wiri, South Auckland. Marley’s Magnum spouting and downpipe range was specified to meet the specific requirements of this project.

The new 960 bed men’s facility is needed to meet growing demand for prisoner accommodation in Auckland.

“The design for the prison draws on international research and expertise to ensure its construction complements a world-class approach to reducing re-offending in safe, secure and decent settings” said Serco Managing Director Paul Mahoney.

With this in mind, H W Coyles Ltd installed Marley’s rugged half-round Magnum spouting and downpipe system, combining style with durability and performance providing the perfect innovative solution.

Magnum is a large capacity rugged half round PVC spouting system and is ideally suited for large roof areas in residential, commercial and rural applications. Magnum comes in grey with external brackets for ease of cleaning and a 100mm downpipe.

Magnum has a large cross section, is a complete PVC system and possesses the ideal characteristics for such a job:

  • Magnum’s dimensions could cope with peak water flow
  • PVC is extremely resilient and durable, no need to paint and won’t rust out where debris settles
  • Aesthetically ppealing, no sharp corners to catch debris
  • Full range of modualr components minimises on site cuttings

The specification of the durable Marley Magnum spouting and downpipe range reflects the overarching desire to create a lasting legacy for the community. The Wiri project’s ground-breaking approach was recently highly commended at the International Public/Private Partnership Awards in London. The judges recognised the project as “a pathfinder not just for the justice sector but for the country as a whole”.
