UK CONSTRUCTION WEEK BIRMINGHAM 2022
Towards the end of the year, Balticfloc took part in several international exhibitions in Europe. These exhibitions involved “UK Construction Week Birmingham 2022” and “LondonBuild 2022” in Great Britain, and “FinnBuild 2022” in Finland. During these exhibitions, SIA Balticfloc acquainted visitors with LIFE project LIFE_PHIPP launched by the company, during which an innovative thermal insulation material is created from low class waste paper and high-value hemp fibre.
The exhibition “UK Construction Week Birmingham 2022” took place from 4 – 6 October at the exhibition hall “National Exhibition Centre” in Birmingham, Great Britain.
The exhibition was first introduced in 2015, and over the course of these few years it has rapidly gained worldwide popularity and has become one of the major events of the year in the construction industry. Moreover, currently the exhibition “UK Construction Week” has become the largest event of the construction industry in Great Britain, involving an extensive exhibition of construction industry products and services, lectures, contests, discussions, training and presentations on topical events in the industry. The event takes place in several halls and on multiple stages, industry specialists from all over the world taking the floor.
This year, the emphasis was put on the thematic stage “Net Zero”, where a topical issue of CO2 pollution in the environment caused by the construction industry and solutions for reducing it was raised. Other current topics of the construction industry involved quality of products, fire safety, energy-efficiency, latest innovations, sustainability and environment-friendly construction and mental health of employees.
The exhibition “UK Construction Week” took place in several halls, where topicalities of the construction industry were presented by 600 companies from all over the world. Over a period of three days, the exhibition was attended by approximately 25,000 visitors, 10,000 of which were representatives of the industry.
Thermal insulation materials made of cellulose fibre are not widely known in the construction industry of Great Britain. Therefore, great interest was observed during the exhibition both about the thermal insulation material “ECOwool”, created by Balticfloc and already available on the market, and about the new thermal insulation material, development of which is implemented within the framework of LIFE project LIFE_PHIPP. Many visitors were interested about whether Balticfloc has cooperation partners in Great Britain and whether the products of the company can be purchased on the market of Great Britain. Interest was shown also about the new thermal insulation material developed within the framework of LIFE project. The main interest was about the potential market price of the new product, its thermal conductivity and fire safety class.
