Halcyon School, Oldham

The new Halcyon school was constructed for the community in Oldham – a Special Educational Needs (SEN) school for just over 150 children to grow, learn and develop in a caring and encouraging environment.
Challenge:
Metal roofing and cladding contractor Decron Ltd were contracted to provide the façade for the new school. Turning to Fixfast for a solution for the support system to secure the façade, we assisted with the intricacies of the project itself – including the large letters that spell out ‘Halcyon School’ at the front of the building.
Solution:
We were able to provide a detailed façade calculation for Decron, which included details and advice on using our SPIDI® Max bracket and rail support system for the wall façade.
SPIDI Max is a one-bracket design system that emphasises strength and simplicity – just one bracket can be used in vertical or horizontal applications and can be used for both fixed and sliding point locations within a façade.
The brackets are available in a range of sizes to allow for contoured elevations, and to accommodate a range of cladding zone/cavity depths – from 80mm to 600mm in wall applications, and up to 946mm in a soffit application.
Supplied in aluminium or stainless steel to cover a wide range of applications, the unique ribbed bracket design puts strength and ease of use first.
