Cistermiser valves help to conserve water at Cambridge Assessment’s new HQ
The washrooms in the prestigious new international headquarters of exams group Cambridge Assessment
feature the latest infrared water management technology from Cistermiser. More than 1,600 Cambridge-based
employees, formerly based in 11 Cambridge Assessment offices located across the city, have been brought
together in the new HQ complex called The Triangle. The series of linked buildings, sited to the south east of
the city centre, have been designed to provide enough office space to eventually accommodate up to 3,000
people by 2025. 96 Cistermiser Direct Flush ‘Discreet’ infrared urinal flush control valves (DFDs) have been
installed in The Triangle’s 20 washrooms by M & E sub-contractor Allied Mechanical Services. The Direct
Flush automatically flushes the individual urinal after use, using as little as 0.5 litres of water each time.
This ensures high levels of hygiene from the minimum volume of water. Tony Buckley, Project Manager for
Allied Mechanical Services, said: “From an installation point of view, the Cistermiser DFDs and associated
multi-product power supply units are quick and easy to fit.

BAL,a market leader for full tiling solutions, are revolutionising the standard-set category with new adhesive
technology; BAL Flex One. BAL Flex One give fixers longer working and open times – but still has a
faster setting time prior to grouting. Outperforming other products with an excellent 2.5 hour working time
and a 45-minute open time at 20°C – this allows more working time to fix in warmer conditions (and less
wastage in buckets), more time to adjust larger tiles, and more time when working on particularly complex
installations. With a 6-hour set time, the new adhesive allows fixers to grout in the evening or early the next
day – significantly cutting down installation time compared to traditional standard setting products that require
up to 24 hours to set! BAL’s new standard set technology also provides outstanding usability – helping
to overcome the many obstacles that face fixers on a modern project. With one of the thickest bed depths on
the market for standard sets up to 15mm and, the formulation helps fixers to overcome some background
irregularities where isolated building out may be required.
