INCA Case Study: Maldron Hotel, Brighton

This new build Maldron Hotel in Brighton was a project by Dalata Hotel Group. This 221-bedroom is located by the waterfront, just minutes away from the city’s conference centre and exciting main attractions. The 4-star property includes a bar, restaurant, gym and six meeting rooms.

The main contractor for this build was CField Construction, a Building & Civil engineering contractor who has extensive experience in a wide range of sectors with operations in Ireland and the UK.

Installation Details & On-Site Challenges

One of our biggest challenges was securing Mineral Wool A1 non-combustible materials, as historic supply routes had an increased lead time. We overcame this issue by using an alternative supply chain partner for the MW insulation. We were able to deliver to the site within just four weeks. This innovative approach allowed us to meet the project deadline with a fantastic end result.

Thermal Performance Enhancement

The EWI system provided by SPS Envirowall played a vital role in improving the energy efficiency and thermal performance of the entire building. Utilising innovative dual-density mineral wool insulation, combined with the latest installation techniques employed by CField, the system achieved thermal performance by reducing heat loss and optimising energy consumption. Independent assessments have verified an impressive U-Value of 0.2.

The CField site team did an outstanding job, showcasing excellent communication skills to coordinate the requirements for a special delivery vehicle.

Contributory Factors Making it a ‘Stand-Out’ Project

This project stands out for several key reasons. The flawless integration of the eye-catching EWI system, featuring SPS Envirowalls’ innovative KIWA-certified Direct Fix system, offers a variety of finishes and colours, greatly enhancing the building’s visual appeal. The blend of architectural sophistication, meticulous attention to detail, and expert installation further distinguishes this project.

Furthermore, the project’s dedication to sustainability and minimising environmental impact, through the use of eco-friendly materials and enhanced energy efficiency, highlights its outstanding qualities.

Conclusion

The new hotel close to the waterfront in the city of Brighton, exemplifies the transformative power of the EWI system supplied by SPS Envirowall and installed by CField.

The project’s aesthetic appeal, guest comfort, and environmental sustainability make it an exemplary construction endeavor. The collaboration between these companies has resulted in a building that stands proud in Brighton and as a great example of excellence, whilst contributing to the overall advancement of construction practices.
