Structural frame5.5 The structural framing to each module consistsof 100 mm by 100 mm by 5 mm SHS cornercolumns bolted to cold rolled channel section edgebeams, of a depth to suit the span requirement,with M16 x 25 bolts. Columns and channels arebolted together. The external walls are notdesigned to carry vertical load but provideadditional racking resistance to the module. Theyprovide resistance to lateral (wind) load, transferringload through fixings to the structural frame.

5.6 Each column head has a top plate with a32 mm diameter, centrally-drilled clearance holewith an M30 nut welded onto the back to receivean eyebolt to allow the complete module to belifted by crane. Upper floor modules(1) have a pin

within the bottom of the columns to locate in theholes in the column heads of the lower modules.(1) Outside the scope of this Certificate.

Floors5.7 Floor framing is of hot-dipped galvanized(Z35 grade Fe E350G-coated G275 toBS EN 10326 : 2004) cold-formed channelsections used as both edge beams and cross-floorjoists. Connection is by M10 bolts and 6.6 mm by14.1 mm long steel Megagrip rivets.

5.8 Floor decking is water-resistant, 22 mm thickoriented strand board, type OSB3/4 toBS EN 300 : 1997, fixed to floor side rails using47 mm self-drilling screws and to decking supportswith 50 mm ring-shank nails. Floor deckingsupports are 64 mm by 38 mm softwood timber,fixed to cross-floor joists at 400 mm centres using85 mm by 5.5 mm self-drilling screws.

5.9 Thermal insulation is provided by 120 mmthick mineral wool, suspended between the floorjoists with a vented polythene membrane. Theoverall floor construction achieves a U value of0.25 Wm–2 K–1.

External walls5.10 External walls are of composite constructioncomprising 122 mm by 36 mm T16 grade CLSstudwork framing at a maximum of 600 mmcentres. Internal lining is 12.7 mm thick vinyl-wrapped plasterboard, screwed top and bottomand bonded to the timber framing. Externalcladding is 9 mm thick plywood, nailed to thestudwork and overclad with 0.7 mm thick colour-coated steel (Colorcoat HP200 as described inBBA Certificate No 91/2717). Thermal insulationis provided by 120 mm thick mineral wool insertedbetween the timber studding. The overall wallconstruction achieves a U value of 0.35 Wm–2K–1.

5.11 All external walls are fixed to the perimetergalvanized steel floor channels with steel self-tapping screws and to SHS corner columns usingsimilar fixings. The wall-to-wall corner trims arefixed with colour-matched nails.

Internal walls and finishes5.12 Typically, internal walls(1) are 12.7 mm thickvinyl-wrapped plasterboard, screwed top and bottomand bonded to the timber framing. Where requiredfor sound insulation, cavities are filled with mineralwool insulation. Skirtings are of white PVC in twoparts.(1) Outside the scope of this Certificate.

Roof5.13 Each module roof is of compositeconstruction using hot-dipped galvanized (Z35grade Fe E350G-coated G275 to BS EN 10326 :2004) cold-formed channel sections used as bothedge beams and cross-roof joists. Connection is byM10 bolts and 6.6 mm by 14.1 mm long steel

5.15 A timber ceiling frame is screwed to cross-joists using 65 mm by 6.7 mm self-drilling screws.Internal lining is 12.7 mm thick vinyl-wrappedplasterboard, screwed to the timber ceiling frame.

5.16 External roof covering is a single-layerroofing system (Firestone Rubberguard EPDM —BBA Certificate No 89/2216) — fire retardantversion, 1.15 mm thick. The membrane is bondedto the OSB ceiling using a water-based deckingadhesive.

5.17 Thermal insulation is provided by mineralwool to totally fill the roof voids. The overall roofconstruction achieves a U value of 0.25 Wm–2K–1.

Protection of exposed steelwork5.18 All exposed structural steelwork is shot-blasted,hot-dip galvanized to BS EN ISO 1461 : 1999,coated with primer and finished in gloss paint.

5.19 Roof flashings and wall drips fabricated fromColorcoat EPS steel are fitted around supportcolumns, the perimeter of the roof, the lowerperimeter of all modules.

Pitched roof system5.20 Lightweight steel roofs to various pitches anddesigns are available but are outside scope ofCertificate.

6 Manufacture6.1 Bought-in materials and components are toagreed specifications or in accordance with BritishStandards or Agrément Certificates.

6.2 Steel-framed components of the system arefabricated using conventional metalworkingtechniques.

6.3 Quality checks are made on the sub-assemblies, such as wall and roof panels and thesteel frame, and on the final assembly of themodules. During manufacture checks are made ondimensions, squareness and welding.

7 Delivery and site handling7.1 The modules are transported to site on aflat-bed lorry or trailer, long enough to fully supporteach module.

7.2 The modules are unloaded and positioned bycrane using eyebolts screwed into the column-headplates.

7.3 The open sides of the modules areweatherproofed using polythene sheeting duringtransit. The polythene sheeting also provides

protection during storage on site should themodules not be positioned on the day of delivery.

Design Data

8 Strength and stability8.1 The design of the Rollalong LiNXRelocatable Building System is generally inaccordance with:

• BS 5950-1 : 2000• BS 5950-5 : 1998• BS 5268-2 : 2002• BS 5268-6.1 : 1996• BS EN 594 : 1996.

8.2 The system is designed to support loadsevaluated in accordance with:• BS 6399-1 : 1996• BS 6399-2 : 1997• BS 6399-3 : 1988• BS 6767-1 : 1999• BS 6767-2 : 1998.

8.3 The racking resistance of the building isgenerally provided by the external walls and, insome building configurations, the internal walls,with additional bracing depending on site, locationand building layout. The structural design isgenerally in accordance with BS 5950-1 : 2000,BS 5950-5 : 1998 and BS 5268-6.1 : 1996.Any post-construction changes to steel framing,external walls (or internal walls where applicable)must be agreed by the Certificate holder.

8.4 The roof is designed to support a uniformlydistributed imposed load of 0.60 kNm–2 or aconcentrated load of 0.9 kN, in accordance withBS 6399-3 : 1988, and, therefore is acceptablewhere access is only for cleaning or repair.

8.5 The ground floor is designed to support auniformly distributed imposed load of 5 kNm–2 or aconcentrated load of 4.5 kN, in accordance withBS 6399-1 : 1996, and, therefore, is acceptablein, for example, classrooms and offices for generaluse.

8.6 Most building configurations do not requirethe modules to be bolted to foundations. Stabilitycalculations are available from the Certificateholder justifying any requirements for boltingmodules to the foundation.

8.7 Foundations must be designed in accordancewith BS 8004 : 1986.

8.8 If dismantled and relocated, full account mustbe taken of any changes made to the layout anduse of the reconstructed modules in respect ofstructural adequacy. The Certificate holder’s adviceshould be sought before modifications to any of thestructural components of the modules are made.

9 Behaviour in relation to fire9.1 Statements in this section relate to the systembeing used in single-storey applications only. Theinformation on fire resistance does not support anyother applications.

9.2 Buildings subject to Building Regulationshave not been assessed for use within onemetre of a boundary. Due regard must be

taken of all ‘unprotected areas’.

9.3 It has been shown by tests and assessmentthat the buildings will meet Building Regulationsrequirements for fire rating as given in Table 2.

9.5 The internal surfaces of walls and ceiling areassessed as having the following surface spread offlame characteristics:vinyl-wrapped plasterboard Class 0(1)

ceiling surface Class 0(1)

(1) ‘Low risk’ in Scotland.

9.6 The roof is designated EXT.F.AA inaccordance with The Building Regulations2000 (as amended) (England and Wales),

Approved Document B, Appendix A, and TheBuilding Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000,Technical Booklet E. When tested in accordancewith BS 476-3 : 2004, a roof constructionconsisting of Firestone Rubbergard EPDM FR,latex/neostrene blend contact adhesive on 12 mmthick OSB/2 substrate, acheived an EXT.F.AArating. Therefore, the roof is unrestricted under thenational Building Regulations.

9.7 The designation of the roof in Scotlandmust be determined in accordance withMandatory Standard 2.8 for compliance

with The Building (Scotland) 2004 Regulations.

9.8 Adequate provision must be made for escapein case of fire.

9.9 Where it is necessary for fittings, servicesor ducts to penetrate part of the fire-resistingconstruction, the detailing must ensure that therelevant fire resistance is not impaired, particularlyin relation to the integrity requirements.

9.10 When dismantling, relocating andre-assembling the building system, the re-assemblyprocess must include measures to ensure that therelevant fire resistance is not impaired, particularlyin relation to the integrity requirement.

10 Thermal insulation10.1 The building elements are designed toachieve or improve on the following U values(Wm–2K–1):ground floor 0.25(1)

external wall 0.35roof (flat) 0.25windows 1.90(1) For typical floor dimensions.

10.2 The requirements for limiting the heatloss through the building fabric are satisfiedwhere the U values, including thermal

bridging, of the building elements do not exceedthe maximum values given in:England and WalesApproved Document L2, Table 1(1)

ScotlandMandatory Standard 6.2, clause 6.2.2(2) or6.2.3(2)

Northern IrelandTechnical Booklet F, Table 1.4(1).(1) Elemental method.(2) Heat loss method or Carbon emissions calculation

method. Technical Handbook (Non-Domestic).

10.3 The level of insulation at junctions betweenelements and around openings in walls willadequately limit excessive additional heat loss andrisk of local condensation.

11 Condensation11.1 Although the Certificate holder does notspecify an upper internal relative humidity level,where high levels of condensation are likely toform, advice can be offered on suitable solutionsincluding mechanical ventilation and airconditioning.

11.2 If the floor is penetrated by services, eg soilpipes, the joints between the services and the floordeck and floor insulation must be adequatelysealed to prevent the ingress of water and watervapour.

11.3 Electric heating is supplied with themodules(1). Equipment producing large quantities of

8

water vapour, for example flueless heaters, mustnot be used.(1) Not covered by this Certificate.

12 Ventilation12.1 The two windows supplied with the systemincorporate 4000 mm2 trickle vents and are ableto be opened to allow rapid ventilation whenrequired. The adequacy of provision must beconsidered for each building design.

12.2 Adequate underfloor ventilation is providedby pre-punched holes in the steel skirt to ensurecondensation on the steelwork or insulation iseffectively dispersed.

13 Weathertightness and damp-proofing13.1 The steel supporting columns raise thebuilding clear of the ground, giving it aninherent resistance to ground moisture.

13.2 The ground beneath the building, as aminimum, should be effectively cleared of turf andother vegetable matter at least to a depth sufficientto prevent later growth. The Certificate holderrecommends that a polythene or other suitablemembrane be placed over the surface to inhibitfuture weed growth.

13.3 In preparing the site for erection of thebuilding, adequate drainage must be provided, toprevent water collecting beneath or against thebuilding structure. Landscaping should not bepositioned so that loose soil can become bankedagainst the building perimeter.

13.4 The roof and external wall surfacesprovide adequate weather resistance. Thefinal weathertightness of the building is

dependent upon correct positioning and sealing ofthe roof beam casings and the sealing of thehorizontal and vertical joints between modules.

13.5 The buildings are provided with rainwatergutters and downpipes(1).(1) The Certificate holder can supply design calculations on

request but these are outside the scope of this Certificate.

13.6 The performance of windows and doors isnot covered by this Certificate; however, theperimeter joints between windows and doors andthe wall panels have been assessed and areadequate to ensure that water penetration will notoccur at these positions.

14 ServicesElectrical and plumbing services are outside thescope of this Certificate; however, in designingand installing these services, precautions must betaken to avoid the possible risk of long-termdamage to the structure or the services by, forexample, the ingress of water, water vapour orcondensate from cold water service pipes.

15 Maintenance15.1 The external wall skin of Colorcoat HP200requires an occasional washing with watercontaining a mild detergent. Where a highaesthetic standard is required, maintenancepainting may be required after a period of from10 to 30 years, depending on colour andenvironmental conditions, using a paintrecommended by the Certificate holder.

15.2 The walls, ceilings and internal surfaces canbe cleaned using water containing a milddetergent. These surfaces can be decorated usinga paint recommended by the Certificate holder.

15.3 Should it be necessary to replace or repairthe vinyl floor covering, all joints must be welded.Any replacement vinyl floor covering must be to anequivalent specification as the original.

15.4 In the event of impact or other damage toan external wall, a replacement steel panel can befitted over the original panel by the Certificateholder. If necessary, additional insulation can beinserted into the core of the wall before fitting thereplacement panel. This will restore theappearance and ensure that the weathertightnessand insulation are unaffected.

15.5 Trims or skirt panels can be readily replacedif necessary.

16 Durability16.1 The main structural framework isassessed as capable of achieving a designlife of 60 years. Other elements can achieve

a design life of between 20 and 60 yearsdepending on the materials, construction anddegree of maintenance. Reference may be madeto BS 7543 : 2003, or relevant AgrémentCertificate in this respect.

16.2 Particular care is required in the arrangementof dpcs, integrity of vapour control layers andweathertightness of the building envelope.

16.3 Foot traffic over the roof weatherproofingfinish should be restricted to the purpose ofmaintenance and suitable precautions taken toavoid the risk of damage to the single-layerreinforced roofing system.

16.4 The Colorcoat coating and galvanizing willbe effective for the building’s envisaged life. Therelevant BBA Certificate should be consulted forfurther information.

16.5 The ceiling covering will remain effective forthe period specified in section 16.1.

16.6 The sealants used in the construction of themodules in the factory and to seal betweenmodules on site are concealed and are not subjectto excessive movement. They should not normallyrequire replacement during the building’senvisaged life.
