Onward Group

Fortem have delivered a major remediation project to The Quadrant, a multi-storey residential block of 
flats in Salford, consisting of cladding replacement to certain areas on all elevations of the building, to bring 
the works up to current standards and to meet new fire safety requirements and compliance.

The works focused on replacing non-compliant cladding and external wall insulation systems across all elevations to meet current fire safety standards and regulatory compliance. Approximately 50% of the properties at The Quadrant are social housing, while the remainder are privately leased. Key elements of the project included the removal of theexisting non-compliant Trespa rainscreen cladding, including support rails, framing, and insulation; structural and concrete repairs; replacement of fire barriers and window sealants; installation of a new Rockwool cladding 
panel system supported by an aluminium framework fixed to the existing structure; and the stripping and replacement of the rendered external wall insulation system with mineral wool insulation and new render.
