How UKBC can help to Pass a Failed Air Tightness Test — Lichfield

The brief

The process

  • After reviewing drawings, on site testing was ready to be completed. All calibrated equipment was setup in accordance to our strict procedures to ensure the most accurate result possible
  • The initial Air Test we conducted highlighted issues. The engineer carried out leakage diagnostics with the customer and suggested the appropriate remedial works

The results

  • Compliant

  • The initial test conducted showed the required standard was not achieved at 12.03 m³.h.m² @ 50pa

  • After rectifying and implementing recommendations to the problems we identified in our initial test, the re-test score improved dramatically to 3.89 m³.h.m² @ 50pa which is a 67% improvement
