Digital Planning Tools for Building Envelope Systems

The complexity of modern architectural skins requires a fundamental shift in how we conceive, design, and manage the outer boundaries of our structures. By leveraging advanced digital planning platforms and integrated modeling environments, the construction industry can achieve unprecedented levels of precision, ensuring that every component of the structural perimeter is optimized for performance, durability, and long-term sustainability throughout its entire operational lifecycle.

Fire Safety and Compliance in Building Openings

The protection of life and property in the built environment depends heavily on the integrity of apertures within fire-rated compartments, where every door and window must function as a reliable barrier against the spread of heat and smoke. By strictly adhering to modern fire regulations and implementing rigorously tested opening systems, architects and developers can ensure a high level of passive fire protection that safeguards occupants and facilitates a more effective response from emergency services.

High Performance Windows Meeting Global Energy Codes Today

The implementation of superior fenestration technology is no longer an optional upgrade but a fundamental necessity for architectural projects aiming to achieve regulatory compliance and long-term sustainability. By integrating advanced glazing and framing solutions, buildings can significantly reduce their operational energy demand while providing occupants with enhanced comfort and durability against a backdrop of increasingly stringent global construction standards.

Stag Technologies, a division of the Vortex Companies, is pleased to announce that its Dual Coat (DC) 1000E epoxy, a key component of the of the Picote Brush Coating System, was recently approved by the United Kingdom based WRc (Water Research Centre).

“This approval opens up the European market for us, as well as helps support our new Quadex Europe Division,” states Michael Vellano, CEO of the Vortex Companies. “Our resin, combined with the Picote Brush Coating System, makes an extremely effective method of small diameter pipe rehabilitation now available to a booming market sector.”

Stag Technologies, a division of the Vortex Companies, developed the Dual Coat (DC) 1000E epoxy, which is a key component of the Picote Brush Coating System.

With this announcement, the system is approved to rehabilitate non-potable and wastewater clay, concrete and cast-iron pipes pipe from DN50mm (2″) to DN300mm (12″) diameter and copper, steel and PVC pipes ranging from DN32mm (1″) and DN300mm (12″). DC 1000E is a two-part 100% solids epoxy resin. The brush coating unit consists of the combination of a Picote pump, Miller and specialty brushes.

It is easy to use and a quick answer to pipe drain and sewer rehabilitation. “Stag developed a dual cartridge package that can be easily inserted or changed when needed,” stated Andrew Gonnella, EVP Sales & Marketing for the Vortex Companies. “The two-part resin is already pre-measured to the correct component mix ratio when delivered to the customer. That’s an extremely important step to a successful application,” he added.
