Tuxford School, Marnham Lane

Client: Nottinghamshire PFI Scheme
Type of works: inspection of NW100 acoustic movable walls.

As part of the ongoing work within the Nottinghamshire PFI Scheme, Alco Beldan recently returned to the Tuxford School in Marnham Lane, Tuxford for a close inspection of its four NW100 acoustic movable walls.

Within the main drama wing Alco Beldan installed three movable walls which give the opportunity of dividing the area into three, utilising a twin roller, t-connecting track system. A combination of 22, 5m in height panels can be easily arranged making the whole area very flexible.

High-end 57dB Rw NW100 walls with two colour finish complement the environment for this large drama wing within the school.

On the first floor a dedicated area for exercise with a fully-fitted gym is divided by a six panel, 3m high NW100 wall.

Once again optimum noise reduction was paramount for this area as the division of the room separates the gym from a usable classroom environment.

The whole project was independently tested to ensure that performance levels reached Building Bulletin 93 Specifications.
