Bury Magistrates' Court imposed fines of 24,000 on Frames Conservatories Direct Ltd
Matthew Symington Saturday, February 15, 2014 9:09 AM
A window replacement company from Bury St Edmunds will have to pay out nearly 35,000 after it exposed workers to potentially fatal asbestos.
To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.
Workers at Frames Conservatories Direct Ltd (FCDL) were replacing window units at Westley Middle School over the summer of 2012. The company told the school that asbestos panels would be removed by registered contractors and disposed of in the correct way.
However Bury St Edmunds Magistrates Court was told the company was not licensed to work with asbestos and employees undertaking the work werent told they would be handling the substance. No control measures were used to prevent the spread of fibres.
The health and safety breach also meant the school had to pay over 110,000 in cleaning and replacing contaminated items.
The matter was investigated by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) after being alerted by the schools headteacher as well as employees at FCDL.
Concerns were first raised when other contractors noticed suspect material in a floor void and consulted a licensed asbestos contractor who then visited the school. The contractor saw window panels being removed and notified FCDL employees that they were handling materials likely to contain asbestos. The work was immediately stopped and the area sealed off.
A licensed contractor undertook a programme of cleaning under strictly controlled conditions in all affected areas of the school. Once completed, air tests were carried out and the areas certified safe for re-occupation.

Nuns at a historic St. Johns convent will test windows that are easy to open and meet heritage guidelines.

Last month, Coun. Jonathan Galgay announced that nuns at the 161-year-old Presentation Sisters Mother House had requested replacement windows that open horizontally to replace ones that open vertically, which are harder for the nuns all of whom are older than 70 to open.
Coun. Dave Lane, co-chairman of the citys heritage advisory committee, said Tuesday the committee long ago gave the green light to replacing the windows.
They had specifically requested horizontal sliders because, of all the windows they have in the building many are old, and many were installed improperly the only ones that open easily are horizontal sliders.
The committee rejected the type of replacement window requested because it didnt match the heritage style of the building, but suggested another type, such as an awning-style window that opens with a crank at the bottom, that would still meet the guidelines.
What we were going to do anyway, and (what) weve done since, is met with the Presentation Sisters. We looked at all the windows and we actually went out to two local manufacturers and brought in examples of awning windows to show that the newer technology is actually very easy to open, said Lane.
The latches are down low, and theres very little effort required to open and close them.
A couple of windows will be installed in the building for testing, said Lane.
If it works, then theyll install the rest of them, he said.

Convent to test replacement windows that match heritage guidelines

A geothermal heat pump system is a great way to manage your homes interior climate. However, like any HVAC system, a geothermal climate control solution has both advantages and drawbacks. To help you determine whether or not geothermal is the best solution for you, we will compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of geothermal.
The overall cost of a geothermal system is usually seen as the biggest disadvantage when compared to other heating and cooling systems. It requires expensive parts that cause it to cost more than double the amount of other HVAC systems.
Fortunately, geothermal heating and cooling is a sustainable renewable energy resource, so state and federal governments offer tax credits that will offset the cost of the system itself.
The initial installation of a geothermal heat pump system requires experienced installers to lay tubing deep underground. This, among other things, makes geothermal expensive to install.
Due to the fact that geothermal systems alter interior temperatures using the constant temperature of the ground, they dont need to consume energy to alter the temperature of the air that they pump. The long-term savings that result from this go a long way toward counterbalancing the cost of installation. You can expect to make back the cost of initial installation within a few years.
Geothermal heat pumps also last about twice as long as most other HVAC systems.
This benefit alone negates the expense of the initial installation.
Because geothermal is a newer system that requires complicated installation, finding an installer can be difficult. When considering an HVAC company for installation, ask about their experience, as well as references to check before you commit.
