PROJECT MANAGEMENT DESIGN & SPECIFICATION SERVICE

Upon receiving project drawings, Dales assigns a dedicated Project Manager to oversee each project. Project managers act as a single point of contact throughout the project’s life, from its initial design to completion. Together with the specifier, project managers establish relevant criteria, such as support methods, material requirements and budget. Additionally, the Project Manager prepares CAD drawings, calculations, NBS Specifications and quotations. Overall, this providesa complete specification service. To further discuss your project’s requirements, you can contact our Project Management Team on Tel: 0115 930 1521.

PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE

Dales prioritises client confidence and assurance. Accordingly, we hold full Design/Professional Indemnity Insurance with a first-class security in the London market, which means architects and specifiers can use our products with confidence.

BS EN ISO 9001: DESIGN & MANUFACTURE

Since 1993, Dales Fabrications has worked within the constraints of BS EN ISO 9001 accreditation. Click here to view our ISO 9001: Design & Manufacture certificate.

INTEGRATED, BESPOKE SYSTEMS

Dales consults with specifiers on a project by project basis to design and manufacture engineered eaves systems, which often require a combination of rainwater, fascia and soffit components. These systems utilise different standard fascia soffit and rainwater components. The combination of these components helps form bespoke solutions for a broad variety of building types. Additionally, the modular use of standard components minimises delivery times.

FASCIA PROFILES

Dales designs and manufactures fascia profiles to almost any shape, size or proportion. This includes curved and elliptical designs. Our specification service includes preparing detailed drawings which you can insert directly into your own drawings. Our guarantee may cover systems, up to 25 years. However, this guarantee is subject to location and exact finish specification and terms and conditions apply. You can download example drawings here. While Dales designs all profiles specifically for individual projects, a number of typical profiles are indicated above.

FLEXIBLE RESPONSE

The total eaves concept benefits from liaison at an early stage. Experienced Technical Managers at Dales can attend design coordination meetings to discuss your eaves system requirements. You can contact them using the chat facility or on Tel: 0115 930 1521. Upon receiving drawings or proposals, Dales advises on the most efficient method of support and the practical options available. Extensive experience and technical understanding of different materials and how they interact facilitates the design of attractive and practicable systems.

DURABILITY

Dales designs our systems to give a low maintenance life of 60 years in rural and suburban conditions & up to 25 years in industrial conditions. However, this depends on the exact environment. For marine environments see above.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

As part of the Dales Project Management: Design & Specification Service, we issue a full technical guide to site that includes A3 copies of all Dales detail proposal drawings in full colour and generic system fixing instructions as a comprehensive Technical Guide. Furthermore, the guide also includes a comprehensive ‘Fixings Identification List’ that identifies where each fixing is meant to be used. The detail proposal drawings also notes this information.It is the customer’s responsibility to request a full O&M pack from Dales, which includes a complete detail drawings pack and the relevant generic fixing instructions complete with the maintenance schedule and any guarantee originally requested in the original customer order.

LOADINGS: GENERAL

Dales designs both gutter and fascia soffit systems to accommodate loadings in excess of those induced when the gutters operate at full capacity. Dales recommends snow guards where sliding snow may cause impact loading in excess of normal design criteria (see BS EN 12056-3 2000). For wind and other specific loadings, please contact our Project management team on Tel: 0115 930 1521.

LOADINGS: FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FEA/FEM MODELLING

As part of the overall design process, Dales may need to provide a computer-generated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or similar report. This report may indicate whether a system Dales designs is likely to withstand specific wind or other loadings. In the case of wind-loadings, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that they correctly inform Dales of the “local wind pressure design cladding load for the specific element of the works” as well as the height and location of the detail that Dales are to supply.Please note that Dales reserves the right to pass on any costs incurred in producing any such report or calculations. This also includes any additional product costs that the conclusions from the report deem necessary. Since it is not possible to fully predict all the dynamic factors that may arise, any report Dales generates through a computer-model will always be limited to some extent in its ability to predict real-life outcomes with absolute accuracy.Therefore, it is the customer’s design and financial responsibility to ensure that any such FEA/ FEM report that Dales may provide is deemed adequate, sufficient and compliant with the project design specification by the Project Structural Engineer in terms of the; model, loadings and physical properties of the materials used.

3D MODELLING

Where Dales are required to design their systems, for whatever reason, using 3D modelling software, typically AutoDesk Revitt, lead times for the preparation of detail design drawings (Dales proposal drawings) or 3D models may increase. In turn, this may affect overall lead times for providing of manufactured products and Dales are not liable for any costs however they may arise due to any increases in design time that results from the need for 3D computer modelling. Dales reserves the right to charge for any such increased design time incurred in their design office that results from the need for 3D modelling.

THERMAL MOVEMENT

Dales designs all systems to accommodate the extremes of temperature typical in the UK. For overseas projects, please contact Dales to discuss the requirements of your project.
