The challenge

A standby generator inside the office block needed an exhaust taken out of the building.

The only route was a long one: along the underside of the building and up to the roof.

Most of the run is outside, so every bracket had to go into the brickwork at height.

What we did

We designed a Ø200 twin wall insulated exhaust with 50 mm insulation, rated to 5,000 Pa.

Inside, the run leaves the generator and crosses the room on drop rods to the wall.

Outside, 18 m of horizontal run is carried on wall brackets along the brickwork, then rises 7 m to the roof.

Work at height was done from a scissor lift.

The result

The exhaust was installed in a single phase in early 2019.

A new weatherproof roof plate and storm collar finish the stack at roof level.
