Live Nation SPS Stadia

November 2016

The Atlanta Braves baseball team and Live Nation teamed up to build an iconic entertainment venue adjacent to SunTrust Park, home of the Braves.

SPS terraces were selected for the upper seating area to minimize columns on the lower level, which would have obstructed views of the stage. The slender profile of the SPS terraces enable vertical space/head height to be optimised.

The venue will host 40 music and comedy shows annually helping to drive traffic to the site on non-game days, with an audience capacity of 4,000. It will also play host to special events, the partners said.

Installation of the SPS terraces took place in October/November 2016.

The 2016 US Open marked the opening of USTA’s new grandstand at Flushing Meadow, New York. In partnership with Walters Group, IE won the contract from HUNT Construction Group to supply and install SPS terraces for the 5,800 seat grandstand. This was the second SPS stadia project for USTA.

“The SPS stadia system is one of the most accurate stadia systems we have worked with.

· The design build process helped coordinate the accuracy of structural steel andeliminated unforeseen conditions.

· The engineers at SPS helped to coordinate and resolve complex expansion joint issueswhich were a huge concern for our unstable site.

· The SPS system helped to complete a complex, 16 sided stadium in an extremely limitedamount of time.

· As designers of sport venues, we especially appreciate the look of the finished systemfrom below and above. The finish on the system is beautiful.”

New Supreme Group Headquarters Mezzanine Floor SPS Buildings

April 2016

Supreme Group have incorporated SPS mezzanine flooring into their new Headquarters currently under construction in Edmonton, Alberta. Using the strong, prefabricated and lightweight SPS floor system, the new 155m² SPS area is suspended from the ceiling above. The photographs show a view of the underside of the SPS floor (with the last remaining temporary acro-props in place).

A spiral staircase provides access to the SPS floor, highlighting its architectural versatility. The SPS floor panels are exposed on both top and bottom allowing visitors above and below to observe the high degree of panel flatness, as well as experience the impressive vibration and acoustic damping properties of this 27mm thin floor.

Cape Canaveral SPS Buildings December 2015

United Launch Alliance, America’s Ride to Space, has chosen SPS for the structural flooring panels for the top three levels of the new Crew Access Tower at Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

The SPS product offers an ultra slim deck at 1¼” (3.18cm) thick that is structurally composite with the steel framing of the tower; the panels also offer sound dampening and assist in vibration reduction. SPS is a light weight alternative to other typical structural decking options weighing just 20 psf, with an expected 75 year service life.

Manufactured by Intelligent Engineering, the SPS panels offer a level of durability and protection not achievable with traditional materials. SPS panels have been tested against cellulosic, hydrocarbon and jet fires. They have an A60, H120 and J60 fire rating and offer protection against extreme oil and gas fires. SPS absorbs blast energy and preserves structural integrity.

The existing steelwork on board the vessel was badly corroded, access tight and a crop-and-replace repair was an unattractive option.

40m² of deck required steel reinstatement. Solid perimeter bars, that form the boundary of the cavities, and top plates were welded into place and the resulting cavity injected with the elastomer core to form the new composite deck

The SPS deck reinstatement was substantially quicker than an equivalent conventional steel repair.

Captain Rex Simmonds, Ueushuk Fisheries Ltd commented, “I like the fact that the new deck is much stronger because the old deck is still there with a new deck on top bonded by the elastomer core. I recommend this process to anyone who has to replace steel on board ships where the SPS system can be used.”

Fuel Tank Conversion for 2015 Emissions Requirements SPS Maritime

December 2014

Project Summary

Three tankers needed thermal insulation boundaries installed between two Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) tanks to create a Marine Gas Oil (MGO) tank as part of the shipowner’s strategy to meet new exhaust gas emission requirements.

IMO MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI has been amended to require new standards for marine fuel oils when vessels are operating in defined Emission Control Areas (ECA), specifying a reduction of the sulphur content (SOx) to below 0.1% from January 2015.

This was the first time that SPS had been used in this application; and was verified by Lloyds Register (LR). Carried out in Qatar, by Intelligent Engineering’s partner, CTS Offshore and Marine Limited, for a global shipping company, the three ships had areas of 50m² of SPS Overlay fitted to bulkheads between two adjacent fuel tanks.

Benefit of using SPS: · Cost effective insulation of

boundary between adjacent HFOand MGO tanks

· Maximum HFO and MGO tankcapacity due to compact thicknessof SPS

· No change to existing structure

· Zero through-life maintenance

Bottom of leg with SPS Overlay Reduced stresses and deflections

Structural analysis model of leg and boulder

SPS provides an innovative solution to minimising operational risk and extending the service capability of self-elevating wind turbine and installation vessels. These specialist ships must be capable of safe operation in a wide variety of environmental conditions. In particular, submerged rocks on the sea-bed represent a significant risk to safety and operational integrity. SPS’s inherent resistance to impact and concentrated loads provides a technically superior solution which is fast and cost-effective to apply.

SPS Spudcan Reinforcement delivers: • Increased structural protection from concentrated loads caused by contact with large rocks on the sea bed.• Reduced operational risk and extended ship service capability.

Aurora Australis SPS Maritime

May 2013

Project Summary

The ice breaker research vessel Aurora Australis travels between Australia and Antarctica transporting essential fuel and supplies to the research team. SPS was used to solve a historical fatigue crack problem that periodically affected a knuckle joint in the bulkhead separating the fuel oil and water ballast tanks. This can lead to a risk of contamination of both fuel and water ballast, which would have a serious impact on vessel operations. Used in this location, SPS significantly reduces the local stress levels and virtually eliminates the risk of further fatigue in the knuckle joint. At the same time, SPS provides an extra barrier, giving a second level of defence against future fuel and ballast water contamination.

KK1 SPS Offshore October 2016

FSO Kome Kribi 1 (KK1), converted in 1977 from a ULCC and operated by ExxonMobil for Cameroon Oil Transportation Company has had its sea chest, bottom shell and bulkhead reinstated using SPS.

The repair took place 11km off the coast of Cameroon using steel workers from Cameroon Shipyard and Industrial Engineering Ltd (CNIC).

Chris Williamson, FSO KK1, Chief Engineer said of the repair, “The entire team worked very hard and completed a difficult task like professionals. This type of work in a pump room on an operating oil tanker is not an easy task. The SPS was impressive and I can see areas where it can be utilized in the future.”

Deck Protection SPS Offshore

April 2016

IE developed an impact resistant deck for a tension leg platform which increased the impact resistance of the structure and resisted loads without penetration. The specification defined the energy absorption capability as 765 kJ which is associated with a 3 MT basket dropped at a height of 26 m above the deck. Also a 2.7 MT and a 2.3 MT driller riser type dropped from a height of 17 m above the deck and impact with energies of 450 kJ and 384 kJ, respectively.

It also had to resist the operating service loads from a guideline winch skid and a blowout preventer. The deck could be no higher than 300mm with a maximum weight of 135 tonnes and had to be removable.

An SPS deck was designed to these exacting criteria. The deck panels were manufactured at our Dongkuk S & C production facility.

jkfeofsfn


Noble Paul Romano SPS Offshore August 2015

The high impact resistance that SPS provides made it the perfect solution for the reinstatement of the pipe deck on this semi-submersible, which had suffered damage from dropped objects. Two areas of the deck were repaired with SPS. Its use guaranteed the integrity of below deck service runs which were unaffected by the extensive work above.

Safe Concordia SPS Offshore

April 2015

SPS was used to strengthen the cargo deck on-board this semi-submersible. SPS mitigated the need for steel removal which would have increased the project’s complexity, significantly increasing the repair schedule and associated costs.


John Shaw SPS Offshore March 2014

Project Summary The semi-submersible platform “John Shaw” has benefited from a repair, impossible by any other means other than SPS. At the time of repair, the vessel was floating alongside and the repair location, several meters below the waterline, made conventional “crop and renew” impossible without a costly and unscheduled dry-docking. SPS was installed in way of two areas damaged by positioning tugs and offshore support vessels to protect and reinforce the hull plating.

In this application, SPS provided a class-approved permanent repair without the need to dry-dock the platform; saving the operators additional time and maintenance costs associated with an unscheduled docking.

Petrobras SA FPSOs SPS Offshore

December 2014

SPS compact double hull (CDH) was selected to provide side shell impact protection to the boat landing areas of three FPSOs operated by Petrobras SA. This innovative use of SPS meets the low energy impact resistance requirements of IMO MARPOL Annex I Requirements for FPSOs and FSUs. The solution which protects the adjacent cargo oil tanks was approved by Class Society DNV-GL.

The work was carried out at Enseada do Paraguaçu S.A. Shipyards (EEP) in Brazil and COSCO (Dalian) Shipyard, China. These projects were undertaken during the course of 2014, with the final project being completed in December 2014. A total 2,824m² of SPS was been installed on the three vessels.

Quad204 Escape Tunnel SPS Offshore

January 2014

Owner: BP Builder: Hyundai Heavy Industries Class: Lloyd’s Register

The blast and fire resistant escape tunnel for the new FPSO Quad204 runs the length of the processing modules and is designed to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of the North Sea and resist extreme emergency loads. Arranged in a novel double-layer, the SPS panels provide a primary barrier to survive accidental loads from both an initial blast and subsequent hydrocarbon and jet fires so that shipboard staff can escape safely to their muster points.


FPSO Quad 204 SPS Offshore

November 2013

Project Summary

A special fluid is injected into the well to increase the oil recovery. However, the fluid is heat sensitive (coagulates at elevated temperatures); and because the Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR) tanks are adjacent to the fuel oil tanks (usually maintained at around 60 degree C) there is a concern. The EOR fluid is circulated in the tanks to prevent “hot-spots”. BP required the tank walls to be insulated for safety reason. The internal surfaces of the EOR tanks are stainless steel (clad/explosion bonded SS/CS plating) with a thermal resistance through SPS Overlay (R-value) is 0.2819 m²C°/W.

FPSO Kwame Nkrumah MV21 SPS Offshore February 2013

Client Testimonial

“Utilizing the non-intrusive SPS to reinstate the plates on the void tanks and forepeak tank side shells and bulkheads of FPSO Kwame Nkrumah MV21 enabled our FPSO to remain in operation. The SPS team completed this excellent job under difficult conditions and with minimal impact on our productivity. The work was finished with excellent results.”

FPSO Cidade De Ilhabela SPS Offshore August 2012

Client Testimonial

“SPS side shell protection improves impact resistant of the vessel in way of supply boat landing area. It is a particularly good solution for single hull tankers like the FPSO CDI as it eliminates the cost of additional void tanks construction and at the same time with no reduction of cargo compartments space of the FPSO. The IE team performed this task on FPSO CDI project in a professional manner.”

LNG FSU SPS Offshore

April 2012

Project Summary

SPS was applied to the upper surface of the sloping trunk deck on a LNG Floating Storage Unit. The objective was to restore the structural properties of the steel plating and stiffeners which had suffered corrosion due to condensation build-up in the enclosed void space above the LNG tanks. The use of SPS allowed a safe, fast and unhindered repair. The low-heat-input operations, made possible by the unique design of the repair, avoided damage to the cryogenic membrane containment system located directly beneath the sloping deck.

what is SPS?

Conventional Stiffened Steel

Conventional Concrete and Steel Structure

SPS is a structural composite comprising two metal plates bonded with a polyurethane elastomer core.

SPS is much simpler and more robust than stiffened steel plate and much lighter and faster to erect than reinforced concrete.

SPS is used in a wide variety of applications including structural flooring, stadia and arena terraces, ship repair, shipbuilding and bridges.

benefits of SPS

SPS is a structural material used to make the load-bearing plates found in a wide variety of maritime and civil structures. SPS offers benefits in performance, economics, sustainability and safety.

Maritime applications

In maritime structures, such as the hulls and bulkheads of ships, load-bearing plates are usually made from steel, which is heavily stiffened to prevent buckling. SPS eliminates the stiffening elements, making these structures much less complicated and much less prone to fatigue and corrosion.

Civil applications

In civil engineering structures, such as the decks of bridges and floors in buildings, load-bearing plates are usually made from reinforced concrete. This is because it is difficult to control fatigue and vibration using steel and, with the exception of long-span bridges, the weight penalty of using concrete is tolerated. SPS controls fatigue and vibration and is much lighter than concrete. In addition, SPS plates are prefabricated to a high degree of dimensional accuracy. Using SPS plates reduces ‘wet-work’ on site and de-risks and accelerates the build programme.

Repair and conversion

SPS can also be used to reinstate or strengthen existing plate structures, such as the cargo holds of ships and the decks of bridges. Here again, the benefits are a much reduced schedule and a very robust and long lasting solution. Across the full range of applications, the composite properties of SPS give rise to a number of other valuable benefits. In summary, SPS offers:

SPS

SPS has set a new standard for ship repair and conversion, delivering a faster, less disruptive alternative to traditional ‘crop and replace’ techniques.

SPS repairs the existing plating as one side of a steel composite panel formed by a new top plate and an elastomer core. The results fully restore or enhance the strength of the original structure to deliver high impact resistance and permanently flatter surfaces that improve performance and cargo handling.

The benefits of SPS include:

> Faster repair schedules, minimal labour andreduced downtime

> Non-disruptive, safe, permanent improvements

> Reduced repair costs, lower operating costs andincreased revenue potential

Maritime and Offshore projects have been completed. These fall into four categories:

> Offshore vessels and structures including FPSOs andFSOs, drilling rigs, semi-submersibles, and LNGs

> Bulk carriers and tankers including Capesize andPanamax vessels

> RoRos, car carriers, freight and passenger ferries

> A wide variety of other vessels from barges, dredgersand floating pontoons to helidecks and side shellprotection

> SPS has been used for extensive deck reinstatement of six Stena Line and sixteen P&O ferries (with twenty-six repairs).

The non-intrusive nature of SPS Overlay contributed to significant schedule savings and ensured the vessels were back in service quickly.

“The original programme of

repairing 10,000m² of deck

on three ships back to back

in 70 days was the most

demanding schedule that I

have overseen as technical

superintendent. The project

would not have been possible

with conventional repair

techniques.”

Nigel Baalham, Technical Superintendent,

Stena Line

> The helideck of the Transocean Legend needed strengthening to accommodate heavier helicopters. The SPS solution was completed in 17 days.

“We are delighted with the

end result and the speed

with which the

strengthening took place.”

Guy Cantwell, Transocean

> The Capesize Docebay had 1,932m² of tank tops, hopper sides and stools reinstated with SPS in Cosco Nantong, China.

The “dishing” of the tank tops has been eliminated, which will lead to better cargo handling and reduced turnaround times.

“Using SPS rather than

conventional crop and replace

methods reduced our repair

schedule by 40%.”

Atle Paulsen, Superintendent, V.Ships

> Wear and tear had resulted in steel diminution to the FPSO Conkouati’s side and bottom shell.

SPS was used to reinstate the structural strength of the hull. Areas of side shell, which are vulnerable to impact damage from offloading tankers, were strengthened externally, while the bottom shell was strengthened intercostally below the waterline without the need for dry docking.

“SPS was an obvious choice

for us. The repairs were not

intrusive and were carried

out on-station whilst normal

operations continued on

board. The equipment used

for the job was small and

portable and meant

that its movement did not

cause major inconvenience

or involve many people.

The work was finished with

excellent results.”

Klervi Keryhuel, Marine Engineer, Perenco

> SPS was used as side impact protection in the conversion of an FPSO to satisfy IMO MEP139 (53) “Guidelines for the application of MARPOL Annex1 Requirements for FPSOs and FSUs”. It is also Classand Flag State approved.

“Keppel Singapore, Intelligent

Engineering’s licensee of SPS

Overlay continues to provide

innovative, proven solutions for

FPSO customers. The adoption of

SPS offers the ideal side shell

protection for FPSOs and we are

pleased to be instrumental in this

first application.”

maritime new construction

IE and DSME (Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co Ltd) have established a joint venture, SPS Marine Technologies Ltd, to bring SPS into mainstream shipbuilding. The company provides SPS solutions and licences the technology to other shipyards around the world. A wide variety of applications have been developed including hatch covers, vehicle decks, tank tops, bulkheads and hull plating.

SPS hatch cover at DSME shipyard

Benefits include:

> Simplified more robust structures

> Up to 40% reduction in labour, 50% less welding and 20%less surface area

> Superior in-service performance and reduced through-lifemaintenance

> Prefabrication guarantees quality and efficiency inconstruction

“Lloyd’s Register was the first to

approve SPS for ship repair and now

that this is well established we’re

delighted to be supporting IE and DSME

in their joint venture to bring SPS into

new ship construction.”

Richard Sadler CEO, Lloyd’s Register

11

> Through the MTL partnership, DSME constructs and supplies SPS hatch covers for containerships. The advanced design uses SPS panels to replace the stiffened steel plating of a conventional hatch cover, eliminating all secondary stiffeners and greatly simplifying the structure. SPS hatch covers are functionally identical to the standard steel items, but possess greatly enhanced strength and resistance to impact and puncture from dropped or mishandled containers.

Hatch covers are obvious applications for SPS, not just for containerships, but also for bulk carriers and general cargo vessels. The simplified structure and inherent puncture resistance reduce maintenance costs, enhance lifetime performance and minimise the risk of costly delays due to accidental damage.

> IE designed a Type C Tanker for the Rhine River to meet ADNR and Germanischer Lloyd requirements. A mock-up structure was built in Hanover, Germany. This verified the construction and assembly processes, confirmed the construction quality standards and demonstrated the simplicity resulting from the use of SPS.

> MV “Bow Hunter” was one of the first vessels built by DSME. In 2011 DSME converted her into a floating company museum or “Storium”. DSME selected SPS panels for the newly installed decks to provide high performance control of noise and vibration and allow fast installation in confined working areas.

“In the conversion of MV Bow Hunter,

SPS gives installation and performance

benefits over a normal steel deck. The

innovation contained in SPS technology

captures the spirit of DSME and is

symbolic of DSME’s past and future.”

ManSoo Kim, Vice President, Head of Hull Design, DSME

SPS stadia

SPS Terraces save weight, time and cost in the construction of high quality stadia and arenas:

> SPS weigh less than 25% of concrete terraces. This enables a25% reduction in structural frame weights and 15% lighterfoundations

> SPS can be erected quickly, with 6-10 times more units beingtransported per truck and 3-4 times more units lifted perhoist than concrete alternatives

> Project cost savings of over 20% are achieved using SPS

> At the end of a venue’s life SPS can be readily demounted andreused on future venues

Safe non-slip surface

Connected in factory, or on site, to create integrated bank

Integrated steel rises

High quality coated faces

> SPS stadia terraces delivered a lightweight, long span, cantilevered bowl with minimal supporting columns – allowing more of the audience to be closer to the stage and maximizing the venue’s capacity and versatility.

Winner of BEX 2009 International Award for Best Use of Architectural or Structural Design

“We designed the arena bowl with

SPS in mind; nothing else could

have delivered the solution we

wanted.

I am delighted with the quality of finish

we have achieved using SPS

– they are the future.”

Damon Lavelle, Architect, Populous

> The LG Arena at The NEC, Birmingham has been redesigned, enlarged and completely refitted. SPS was used to create 8,000 permanent seats, of the total 16,000 capacity at the new venue.

“Using SPS helped to ensure that our new

arena was ready for the start of our

season, the Horse of the Year show, in October

and has created more space for concessions

and services under the new stands.”

Phil Mead, Managing Director of Arenas at The NEC Group

> Zaha Hadid’s Aquatics Centre for the London 2012 Olympics is the iconic structure of the games. SPS helped to deliver a uniquely demountable structure with the feel of a permanent venue with the opportunity for the whole structure to be resold after the games. A breakthrough in sustainable construction and a valuable legacy.

“If it was up to me, I’d choose SPS over

prefab concrete slabs every time. We

threw them up onto the steelwork much

faster than I’d first imagined possible,

and with a schedule as tight and

important as the Aquatics Centre build,

that makes all the difference.”

Steve Burley, Site Manager, Watson Steel Structures

SPS buildings

SPS enable significantly lighter structures with shorter, safer construction programmes.

> SPS weighs one quarter of comparable concrete flooring; theyare supported by lighter frames and foundations

> The panels are delivered to site finished to the highesttolerances ready to be assembled using standard steelworking practices

> Using SPS reduces construction schedules. Panels areinstalled quickly and predictably with panels of SPS beinglifted at the same time as the structural frame

> They provide 100% working load capacity as soon as theyare fixed in position and with no wet-work above ground level

work can start earlier and be completed faster

> SPS reduce health and safety risks by providing increasedprotection against falling objects and minimizing a range ofon site hazards

> Using SPS reduces contractors’ costs associated with timeon site and project risk

> SPS provide increased revenue for developers from earlierproject completion and extra floors on tall buildings

Residential Building

Weston-super-Mare Grand Pier

> It is proposed to use SPS Floors on a 27 storey residential building in London.

“SPS panel system is the step change

we have been waiting for in off-site

construction. The system finally enables

us to bring precision manufacturing and

assembly to the site eliminating multiple

trades to deliver the building faster and

ultimately cheaper than conventional

techniques.”

David Glover, Global Head of Building Engineering, AECOM

> SPS has been used to rebuild the main structural floor of the Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare. The pier, which was gutted by fire in 2008, was being rebuilt on the existing 105 year old structure and extends 400m into the Bristol Channel.

The picture on the right, taken at low tide, shows work in progress on the superstructure and the SPS deck about 75% complete. Note the crane barge alongside.

“SPS were key to meeting the

challenges of rebuilding on an old and

damaged structure with limitations on

weight, restricted access and a

demanding schedule. Intelligent Engineering has gone the extra mile in supporting

us from design to installation to ensure the success of the project.”

Andy McGoldrick, Project Director, John Sisk & Son Ltd

> SPS formed part of the improvements to Carnegie Hall, which is a 120 year old heritage structure and a New York City landmark. They were used for the renovation of a mezzanine floor in the South Tower and floor additions in the North Tower, which resulted in minimal disruption to the music hall, provision of immediate load capacity on installation and an easy installation in a site restricted area.

For the South Tower, the SPS forms office space that is suspended at mid-height between top and bottom flanges of an existing truss. In the North Tower, the floors add lounge areas to existing rehearsal halls.

SPS bridges

SPS is much lighter and less complicated than conventional concrete and steel structures. New construction, replacement and repair can be carried out much faster and with less disruption. SPS Bridge Decks are less vulnerable to fatigue and corrosion and have a longer service life.

Installation of new SPS Bridge Deck

New bridge decks

Prefabricated SPS panels make new bridges more economic. As an alternative to concrete decks, the 70% lighter, prefabricated SPS enable shallower, longer, lighter spans to be constructed faster and with less disruption to traffic. As an alternative to orthotropic steel decks SPS offer a lighter solution with simple surfaces that are much less prone to fatigue and corrosion.

Replacement decks

The replacement of old concrete decks with SPS can take days rather than weeks and bridges can often remain operational

throughout the procedure. Load restrictions can be removed and extra lanes added without the need for additional substructure.

Deck reinstatement

SPS is used to reinstate or strengthen steel bridge decks. This process does not require the removal of existing structure and is therefore much faster and less disruptive. SPS improves the distribution of wheel loads, decreasing deflections and increasing the life of the bridge.

Schönwasserpark Bridge

> Prefabricated SPS panels were used to replace concrete panels in four pedestrian bridges across the M6 motorway in England. The installation process required the motorway to be closed for just a few hours overnight, keeping disruption to a minimum.

“The Highways Agency is always on

the lookout for new ways to get the job

done and SPS is one of them.”

Peter Harner, Project Manager, UK Highways Agency

> The Schönwasserpark Bridge is an orthotropic steel bridge spanning a busy state motorway in Germany. Using SPS to strengthen the bridge deck ensured the existing structure was retained and additional work on the superstructure was avoided. Disruption to traffic was kept to a minimum and the whole bridge deck was reinstated in just five weeks.

“SPS Overlay technology has proved

to be an effective refurbishment

measure to make steel deck bridges

fit for modern traffic.”

Prof. Dr.-Ing Markus Feldmann, RWTH Aachen University

> The Dawson Bridge is a 100 year old, 5 span truss bridge that forms an important link across the North Saskatchewan River running through the centre of Edmonton, Canada. SPS were selected as the alternative that offered the simplest, quickest installation that minimized truss strengthening and provided another 100 years life for the bridge deck.

“SPS allowed the entire project to

be completed months faster and

millions of dollars less

expensively than a traditional

concrete deck.”

Jeff DiBattista, Principal, Dialog

protection and defence

SPS can be used in military and civil applications to reduce vulnerability and to increase survivability and safety. SPS is a lightweight alternative to stiffened plate and reinforced concrete with built-in fire protection and vibration damping as well as energy absorbing properties that enhance the blast, ballistics and impact resistance of structures.

Blast tests carried out at US Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) demonstrate how SPS absorbs more blast energy, reduces risk of premature rupture and limits fragment penetration. The conventional steel panel (left) is ruptured by the blast while the SPS panel (right) absorbs the energy and deforms without rupture.

Tests carried out at the UK MoD’s Defence Evaluation Research Agency (QinetiQ) showed that SPS stops projectiles at shorter strike ranges and higher angles of attack. SPS reduced risk of penetration by 75% compared with equivalent all steel structure.

The benefits of using SPS include:

> Lighter, stiffer, simpler structures with improved fatigue andcorrosion resistance, more internal space and permanentlysmooth external surfaces

> Superior blast protection, transferring less energy to supportingstructures and reducing risk of rupture

> Increased protection from projectiles at shorter ranges andhigher angles of attack

> Built-in fire protection

> Reduced structure-borne noise and vibration signature

> Greater resistance to high energy impacts including groundings,collisions and falling objects

Example applications:

SPS protection can be incorporated into new designs, prefabricated for on-site installation or retrofitted as an SPS Overlay to existing structures.

> New build designs automatically incorporate full range ofprotection benefits wherever SPS is used as structural material

> Optimised designs where structures have specific requirements,e.g. high point loads on flight decks; reduced vulnerability onamphibious craft

> Retrofitted blast belt applied as additional protection above andbelow water-line or to provide impact protection for side shellsof offshore structures

> Blast walls in refineries or vulnerable public buildings

> Crash decks (during construction) and permanent blast andimpact resistant flooring structures

SPS for pontoons of drilling rig is able to absorb impact of 3 tonne drill collar falling from height of 37 metres without rupture.

SPS impact test dropping 2 tonne rocks from 3 metres onto a section of SPS deck. SPS sustained no damage; the all-steel equivalent was destroyed.

SPS impact test - sharp point-load on a 2 tonne sled striking SPS plate at 5m per second. SPS sustained minor indentation; the all-steel alternative was punctured through.

Tests carried out at the Danish Institute of Fire Technology (DIFT) show un-insulated steel structure red hot (left) after 60 minutes at 945°C vs. maximum temperature for SPS of 38°C (note the bare feet).

CASE STUDY SPS Citadel Access Protection

> Citadel protection is a proven concept that has a successful track record for protecting ships and crew from piracy. The internationally recognized Best Management Practice to Deter Piracy in the Gulf of Aden and off the Coast of Somalia recommends that a “Citadel is designated and lock-down procedures rehearsed to delay access to ship controls and buy time”.

SPS Citadel Access Protection delays and deters entry to the safe refuge. Once installed, the SPS barrier creates a detail free surface that can be rapidly deployed within 2 minutes. When closed, the SPS panels create an extremely strong barrier that can withstand far higher impact loads than equivalent steel structures with superb blast protection against ballistics and shrapnel damage.

sustainability

SPS delivers a more sustainable, long term alternative to conventional steel and concrete when measured against key indicators including environmental, social and economic impact.

The steel and PU components of SPS can be readily recycled into high grade materials

SPS products offer important benefits in sustainability and the reduction of environmental risk in the construction and shipbuilding industries. These include increased structural efficiency and reduced use of materials and resources in construction. In service SPS structures are less vulnerable to damage, require less maintenance and have a longer service-life. SPS is easily recycled and, unusually for heavy engineering materials, SPS is easily reused. This means that SPS structures can also yield lower through-life emissions and a smaller carbon footprint than conventional concrete and steel structures.

> Potential for 100% reuse or recycling of all SPS materials

> Reduction in other construction materials and resources

> Off-site prefabrication reduces on-site disruption

> Reduced maintenance and increased service-life

> Increased safety and reduced environmental risk

Shipbuilding

SPS can improve sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of the construction and operation of ships in several ways. SPS requires less steel, welding and coatings to produce. SPS structures are less susceptible to fatigue and corrosion thereby increasing service-life. They are less vulnerable to accidental and extreme impact events thereby reducing the risk of environmental damage. SPS designs have the potential to allow for increased cargo volumes, resulting in proportionally fewer vessel movements, less fuel consumed and reduced risk.

21

SPS panels are bolted into position and can be as easily unbolted for reuse at the end of a structure’s life

Construction

Incorporating SPS in a building can improve its sustainability performance and rating with BREEAM and LEED. SPS have been developed for 100% reuse. At the end of a structure’s life SPS can be demounted and, unlike comparable concrete products, can be reused in new buildings without any additional processing. Alternatively at the end of their life the SPS panels can be recycled into new SPS and other high grade materials.

An independent study completed by Decarbonize concluded that reusing SPS can reduce the carbon footprint of a whole building by 10-20% compared with using concrete.

Using SPS also contributes to:

> 25% reduction in the overall weight of materials used ina structure

> 70% reduction in truck movements

> A reduction in site waste

> Safer on-site working practices resulting in fewer accidentsand injuries

Building with SPS can reduce truck movements by 70%

Reinstatement and Conversion

In the repair or strengthening of ships and bridges, SPS incorporates – rather than cutting out and replacing – the existing structure, thereby reducing the quantity of new steel used by up to 75%. The process uses much less welding and is much less labour intensive in what are typically hazardous conditions. SPS requires a fraction of the time needed for conventional repairs and, in the case of bridges, can be completed with only partial closure, thereby substantially reducing the disruption to traffic.

Ongoing initiatives

IE continues to explore opportunities to further develop the sustainability benefits of SPS, including:

> Minimizing the full life emissions of a building

> Working with architects and engineers to design structuresthat capitalise on the potential to reuse SPS products

> Working with suppliers to maximize the recycled content in allSPS products and applications
