Installers are often faced with the challenge of maintaining fire barrier integrity when passing services through raised access floors. Through its distribution partners in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, AIM – Acoustic & Insulation Manufacturing is offering a new technical solution, which combines its Raised Access Floor Barrier (RAFB) with Rockwool Ablative Batts to provide a tested, cost-effective solution.
RAFBs prevent the passage of flame and smoke through underfloor cavities for at least the period of fire rating specified. The AIM RAFB is used to subdivide large uninterrupted cavities, maintain partition fire ratings when aligned under a partition, reduce flanking transmission of sound through underfloor voids and create plenum chambers.
However, passing services, including cable trays and pipes, through the RAFB can compromise the barrier’s vital primary function if not completed in line with the manufacturer’s standard tested details.
Now, AIM provides installers, specifiers, fire consultants and RAF system holders with a solution. When penetration is required to pass services through the AIM RAFB, two Rockwool FirePro® Coated Batts, the same height as the AIM RAFB, are placed on either side of the barrier. The services are passed through both the RAFB and ablative batts with any small gaps around the penetrating component filled with Rockwool FirePro® Acoustic Sealant, pipe sleeves and pipe closers.
The AIM RAFB is tested to BS EN 1366-4 and the principles of TR31 and can provide up to 120 minutes integrity and insulation. The addition of Rockwool Ablative Batts, to allow services to penetrate the barrier, does not denigrate or reduce the overall fire resistance of the AIM RAFB.
Without this assessment, the installer would need to seek approval from a competent person, such as a fire engineer, to run services through the RAFB or, which is most common, they replace the whole barrier with a full run of Ablative Batt, which is an expensive response.
“The many services required in modern offices are usually run through raised access floors, so must pass through dedicated fire barriers,” explains Ian Exall, AIM’s commercial director. “AIM’s improved technical solution for accommodating services combines our RAFB with Rockwool Ablative Batts. It is tested and cost effective compared with building the whole fire barrier from an Ablative Batt.”
An additional advantage of AIM’s new solution is that the services do not need to be installed as the barrier is installed. The Ablative Batt and services can be installed at a later date providing a retrofit solution.
AIM sells the Rockwool Ablative Batt along with the AIM RAFB, but installers can also source the batt from their usual sources.
AIM’s RAFB also reduces airborne transmission of sound by up to 51dB Rw when tested with an access floor system. Made from high density Rockwool stone wool slab faced with impervious foil facing on both sides, it is available cut to size or in slabs for cutting on site.
AIM – Acoustic & Insulation Manufacturing has been supplying into the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland for over 25 years. Part of the Performance Technology Group, UK-based AIM designs, tests and manufactures high-quality fire, thermal and acoustic barriers. The company produces a wide variety of bespoke insulation products to customer specification and a range of standard products.
Now available for sale in Ireland, fresh from its showing at bauma 2025, is the all-new 10-tonne Komatsu WA170M – 11 compact wheel loader.
Predicted to become an exceedingly popular choice amongst construction, utilities, agricultural contractors, grain and bulk commodities handlers, its Dash-11 styling echoes those of its WA475 and WA485 stablemates.
Manufactured in Europe with what McHale Plant Sales director, Denis McGrath says is “all of the fitments and features appealing to European customers”, it boasts what Komatsu themselves says is ‘exceptional safety, absolute comfort, and a performance that comes without compromise.
“With some units already sold to agricultural contractors, and a high level of interest and enquiries received, this is a unit we expect will punch well above its weight, when compared to many of its competitors,” McGrath adds.
Prominent is its redesigned cab and state-of-the-art machine design. First-class operator comfort includes automatic air conditioning as standard. Also standard is a high-back comfort seat with headrest, a seat-mounted 2-way adjustable control console, and an enhanced-performance fully-digital machine monitor display.
Thanks to market-leading quick coupler compatibility, the WA170M-11 seamlessly integrates with existing tools to deliver performance from day one. Power, performance and efficiency come from its 130 HP EU Stage V, HVO Diesel fuel ready engine with hydrostatic transmission and high 550 Nm torque.
Safety features include a high-definition rear view camera and high-visibility steps for safe, easy access, rear LED working lights with automatic rear-driving activation. Optional is new Komatsu short-lever joystick steering, heated rear window and mirrors, additional LED / high-lumen LED working lights, and anti-drop valves.
Additional features include 100% lockable front and rear axles, auto idle stop timer, tool linkage or Z-bar boom, load-sensing hydraulics, market-compatible quick coupler, high efficiency buckets, high-flow hydraulics, and optional load stabiliser.
Engine hood and cabin are tiltable, and daily service points are easily accessible from the ground. A factory-fitted, wide-core, swing-out hydrostatic-driven radiator fan, and extended service intervals ease maintenance.
Protective air ventilation preparation, front and rear 3rd and 4th hydraulic circuits for attachments increase versatility. Also included in the package is Komatsu Komtrax Step 1+ advanced machinery management with 4G mobile communications. Waste Handler specification, tool control system, Speed Control are optional.
Summer might signal vacation for some — but for landscapers, facility managers and contractors, it’s peak time for clean-up and upkeep. Bobcat is stepping up with a newly expanded line of machines and attachments designed to handle everything from overgrowth to debris removal.
Clean-up Applications
Clean-up applications can include sweeping away debris (from pavements, parking lots, driveways and so on). Suitable for a range of carriers including Bobcat skid-steer and compact track loaders, compact wheel loaders, telehandlers and small articulated loaders (SALs), Bobcat Sweeper attachments can sweep and collect dirt or other debris in both forward and reverse directions. These attachments are also ideal for cleaning on docksides and in warehouses. Key features include the patented height adjustment system placed on the top of the sweeper and the double axis floating gutter brush, guaranteeing ease of operation while getting the job done.
Adding another level of versatility, Bobcat Pressure Washer attachments are designed to spray high pressure water on roads or any kind of surface that needs to be cleaned. Suitable for use with skid-steer, compact track and compact wheel loaders as well as specific construction/agricultural telehandlers, Bobcat pressure washers can be used to clean and sanitise streets.
Pressure washer attachments can be used for applications as diverse as removing weeds from between paving stones to removing graffiti and even for railroad, bridge and tunnel maintenance. The dust-free design enables the attachment to be used when laying asphalt, providing a clean surface for the laying of bituminous material. The washing handgun with its 20 m hose reel ensures cleaning work is effective and easy.
Clearing Away Loose Materials
Much of the tidying up work in summer will involve clearing away loose materials such as piles of branches, leaves, waste materials and other loose debris. Built tough for reliability and endurance, the Grapple Bucket attachment from Bobcat can easily handle scrap, waste, brush and other hard-to-manage materials. The heavy duty design improves wear life in tough land clearing and demolition applications.
Again aimed at Bobcat skid-steer, compact track and compact wheel loaders as well as some construction/agricultural telehandler models, the inertia-welded cylinder ends on the grapple buckets – exclusive to Bobcat – permit strong, smooth and durable grapple operation by improving hydraulic cushioning at the end of the stroke.
For the L23 and L28 SALs from Bobcat and the company’s MT100 mini track loader, the company now has the Log Grapple attachment available for grabbing and moving applications. The new log grapple is the perfect attachment for any landscaping project, as it can easily clean up after cutting or trimming trees and bushes. Overall, the log grapple brings the best out of Bobcat SALs and the MT100, increasing their versatility and providing savings in terms of both time and money. From cleaning and recycling to discarding or collecting branches and logs, with its heavy-duty teeth there is no job the new log grapple cannot tackle.
Bobcat has also expanded the company’s Brushcat Rotary Cutter Range with new deck sizes for the SALs. The new Brushcat attachments offer cutting widths of 1118 and 1372 mm, respectively, and are the smallest models in the full line-up of Brushcat rotary cutters, which offers larger models with cutting widths of 1676, 1829 or 2032 mm.
Like the larger models, the two new smaller Brushcat attachments deliver powerful cutting and mulching action in areas of untamed growth and can pass through gates and other narrow entrances to work in areas that are inaccessible to larger machines. They are designed to handle tough brush clearing jobs in a wide variety of applications, such as agriculture, forestry, landscaping, municipalities, parks and recreation areas.
Cutting Through Overgrowth
For use with Bobcat compact loaders and selected telehandlers, Flail Cutter attachments are ideal for cutting through overgrowth on construction sites as well as alongside roads and sidewalks. They adjust to follow the ground contours. A variable speed displacement motor allows the flail cutter to be ‘tuned in’ to the Bobcat carrier, depending on its hydraulic capacity.
By varying the motor displacement to accept auxiliary hydraulic flows ranging from 64 to 151 l/min, the flail cutter can be operated on many different carriers. A floating linkage is standard on the flail cutter. This, along with the attachment’s compact deck length, lets the unit follow the contour of the land regardless of the pitch or attitude of the carrier, permitting the cutter up to ten degrees of oscillation.
Another set of attachments in this area are the Self-levelling Flail Mowers which when mounted on a wide range of Bobcat mini excavators are ideal for shredding vegetation on any terrain, including roadways or ditches, or to clear out shrubs and long grass from forgotten areas. With the help of the excavator’s arm the flail mower can reach where other mowers can not, including hillsides, roadways, ditches, trails, riverbanks and utility right-of-ways. Using the powerful triple knife flails, users can mulch small branches, saplings, thick grass and other vegetation.
Mid- and Rear-Mowing Attachments on Compact Tractors
For regular maintenance of lawns, turf areas, golf courses and sports fields, Mid- and Rear-mowing attachments can turn a Bobcat compact tractor into a mowing powerhouse.
The mid-mount mower enables the driver to mow large areas with ease, including areas where manoeuvrability is tight. The rear-mounted finishing mowers help maintain large lawns to get a professional, well-manicured result in less time. Both finishing mower models come standard with rear discharge and solid rubber wheels. Blades travel at high speed for a clean, smooth cut without skips in a variety of applications.
Bobcat’s Box Blade attachments can be used on the company’s compact tractors and selected loaders, providing a solution for removing bumpy or uneven landscaping, where such surfaces can lead to falls or injuries and the uneven terrain makes even the simplest task, like mowing, a challenge. Box blades are designed to create a perfectly level landscape by helping the user to grade, level or backfill their lawn, driveway or garden. Bobcat box blades are known for being versatile and easy to use, so owners can spend more time enjoying their properties.
Maintenance Work on Roads, Pavements and Driveways
The Bobcat carrier and attachment line-up covers roadwork and maintenance from the very beginning until the perfect finish. Users can cut asphalt surfaces with the Self-levelling Planer attachments or Wheel Saw attachments and then sweep, spread asphalt and compact a new surface layer, all with the same tool carrier. Operators can connect attachments within seconds and operate them from the safety of their cab or by remote control, making road maintenance both easier than ever and more effective.
Equipped with direct-drive, high-torque hydraulic motors, the low maintenance planer attachments for use on Bobcat loaders efficiently mill asphalt or concrete. They feature hydraulic side-shift for planing close to walls and kerbs. Consistent depth control and ski depth are visible from the operator’s seat and precise adjustments can be made with fingertip controls.
Mounted on Bobcat loaders, the rugged, powerful wheel saw attachments can cut through asphalt, concrete, frozen ground or wire mesh with more precision than air or hydraulic breakers. They can be used for road repair and for laying water, gas, electric and fibre-optic cables. The trench cleaner raises and lowers hydraulically. Depending on the model, cutting depth ranges from 15 to 80 cm.
The Soil and Asphalt Spreader attachment is engineered for use on Bobcat loaders to lay asphalt and other material in order to create pavements, widen existing roads or fill trenches saving time and labour.

RICS Construction Monitor Q2 2025 – Northern Ireland
Overall construction workloads fell for fourth consecutive quarter
Private housing is the only subsector to see increase in construction activity
Surveyors anticipate workloads will increase over the next year, albeit they are less confident than before
Private house building was the only part of Northern Ireland’s construction market to see an uptick in activity in the last quarter, according to the latest Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) construction monitor.
Overall, a net balance of -8% of NI surveyors reported a fall in construction workloads in Q2, down from the -4% seen in Q1.
Looking at the subsectors, private housing saw a rise in construction activity, with a net balance of 10% of respondents reporting an increase.
Surveyors report that workloads in public housing (a net balance of -25%), private commercial (a net balance of -16%), private industrials (a net balances of -5%) and other public works (a net balance of -14%) all declined.
Workloads in infrastructure were reported to have fallen flat, having been positive in the previous quarter.
Looking ahead, Northern Ireland respondents expect workloads to rise over the next year, however they are less positive than they were. A net balance of 8% of NI surveyors expect a rise in the 12 months ahead, lower than the 25% seen in Q1.
Unsurprisingly perhaps, NI respondents are less optimistic on the outlook for profit margins. Surveyors in NI anticipate that profit margins will fall over the next year, with a net balance of -16% expecting them to be squeezed over the next 12-months. This is the lowest balance seen when across the UK regions.
Surveyors in NI also continue to report shortages in skills. 52% of respondents reported a lack of quantity surveyors and 33% note a shortage in other construction professional. These are broadly in line with the previous quarter. However, the lack of bricklayers appears to have worsened with 44% of NI respondents reporting a shortage, up from the 38% seen in the quarter previous.
Jim Sammon, RICS NI Construction Spokesman, said: “The construction market in Northern Ireland continued to face challenges through the second quarter of the year, with overall workloads edging lower and most subsectors experiencing less activity. It is though encouraging to see an uplift in private housing activity in this survey, alongside NHBC’s most recent quarterly report which also shows a rise in the number of new homes registered in Northern Ireland. Some of the constraints on private housing development appear to be easing. However, it is important to note that even with an uplift in activity, we are still some way off building enough homes to meet housing need.
“Public sector work plays a huge role in NI’s construction industry, and anecdotally we’re seeing surveyors reporting that a lack of government investment is a big factor impacting on workloads, mixed with other challenges such as planning delays, the increased cost of raw materials and a lack of wastewater infrastructure. Looking ahead, whilst surveyors appear to be optimistic that workloads will rise over the year, there are reasons to be cautious.”
Commenting on the UK picture, RICS Chief Economist, Simon Rubinsohn, said: “The underlying tone in the construction sector remains subdued according to the latest feedback from RICS members. There is a little more positivity looking forward but the indicators, at this point, are consistent with a modest rather than material uplift in development.
“Given that planning continues to be viewed as the major factor hindering the industry from upscaling its building programme, it is quite conceivable that the passing of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill will in due course see industry expectations move onto a firmer footing. That said, the need to ensure the building safety regime works more smoothly is also highlighted quite widely in the survey as a factor that would likely impact the pace of development.
“The other big challenge remains around skills. While typically much of the conversation is focused of shortages of trades such as bricklayers and plumbers, the RICS survey highlights recruitment issues amongst professionals involved in the construction industry with building control surveyors and quantity surveyors in short supply.”
A leading provider of logistics, construction and maintenance services has bought two of the first JCB 145XR tracked excavators in Scotland.
Purchased by The Malcolm Group, the 145XR reduced tailswing excavator is the latest addition to the JCB X Series range and is designed to deliver the same performance as the conventional 140X, in a compact design with a 27% shorter tailswing.
Supplied by Scot JCB, the pair of 145XR tracked excavators join a range of JCB equipment in the company’s extensive fleet including tracked excavators, wheeled excavators, backhoe loaders, telehandlers, compaction rollers, site dumpers, forklifts and scissor lifts.
The Malcolm Group CEO, Andrew Malcolm said: “The relationship we’ve built with Scot JCB is a key factor as to why we continue to choose JCB machines. Their reliable back up and their understanding of our operational needs set JCB apart from the competition.
“Our JCB machines are used year-round for a variety of applications including construction, quarrying, recycling and general site maintenance. We chose the JCB 145XR for its zero tailswing capability, which allows safe and efficient operation in confined spaces. The performance has been excellent. Our operators describe it as a very comfortable machine with plenty of power. The zero tailswing design is particularly valued for its ability to work in restricted areas safely.”
The JCB 145XR reduced tailswing model builds on the success of JCB’s larger 245XR, delivering impressive performance in a compact design with a minimal counterweight swing. The 145XR’s ultra-tight slew radius makes it an ideal machine for working within a highway carriageway, or on confined urban job sites.
The Malcolm Group has a proud history spanning more than a century, with its origins dating back to the early 1900s. From modest beginnings as a family-run business, the company has grown into one of the UK’s leading providers of logistics, construction and maintenance services. Today, the Group operates across a wide range of sectors, delivering integrated solutions in logistics, rail freight, construction and civil engineering, quarrying, waste management and plant hire.
With the weather forecast predicting a mix of rainy and sunny days, NI Water is encouraging everyone to roll up their sleeves and have some creative fun by making DIY raincatchers to help save water outdoors for when it matters most.
DIY raincatchers are a make it at home version of a waterbutt using just a milk bottle which you can then use to save water for your garden.
By taking part and sending the NI Water education team a photo of your raincatcher to education@niwater.com you could also be in with the chance of winning a big NI Water waterbutt to help you harvest even more rainwater for all your outdoor needs including gardening, washing windows and washing cars.
What you need:
A empty plastic milk bottle – the bigger the better
Scissors
Garden string or cable ties
Decorations – paint, stickers, waterproof pens
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Clean and dry your milk bottle and remove the label.
Carefully cut the base of the bottle. You might need to ask an adult for help.
Decorate you bottle using bright colours or why not add some water saving messages. Remember the bottle will be fixed in place with the lid pointing down, so make sure your decorations don’t end up upside down.
Find the perfect place on the garden fence to attach your mini waterbutt using garden string or cable ties. Ensure the cap is on and pointing downwards like the picture so it will catch the rain.
Once the rain has collected in your mini waterbutt place a watering can underneath and screw off the lid to let your watering can fill.
Send a photo of your mini waterbutt to education@niwater.com to be in with a chance of winning a NI Water waterbutt.
NI Water education officer Anna Killen said: “Designing your own DIY raincatcher is a fun and simple, sustainable water-saving solution. We all know plants need water to stay alive, but did you know plants actually prefer rain water than water from the tap to help them to grow and flourish. Raincatchers are like waterbutts – they are a great way for collecting rain water to water the garden and as we usually get plenty of rain here in Northern Ireland they are a great way to catch water to use on drier days. Making your own mini waterbutt is a simple way to collect rain water, save water and keep our flowers and gardens blooming. What’s more, we’ve got one big NI Water waterbutt up for grabs for the most creative raincatcher so we hope to see all your photos coming in to education@niwater.com soon.”

“There’s no sugarcoating it – this data will be tough to swallow for almost everyone in construction.
“All three subsectors of the industry saw output contract in July, with the sharpest fall coming in civil engineering. Housebuilding, the sector beloved of politicians in need of a photo opp, also declined badly.
“To make matters worse, the pipeline of new work is drying up fast. New order numbers have now fallen for seven months in a row, with July’s slump the worst seen since February.
“Little wonder contractor confidence is weak and many construction firms are laying off payrolled staff.
“June saw sentiment plunge to its lowest level since December 2022, and while July’s figure improved marginally, even the most optimistic of builders will find it hard to see the glass as half full.
“Tomorrow the Bank of England is widely expected to cut its base rate for the third time this year, and the prospect of cheaper finance will be welcomed by developers who are struggling to square their finance costs with weak demand for their end product.
“The one bright spot is commercial sector construction. While it too saw output fall in July, at least more commercial schemes are being greenlit. Those that do are laser-focused on value and have a fully costed business case – there is minimal margin for error.”
