Spiroll is delighted to announce that it has successfully delivered a 150mm extruder to Al-Fayha Precast in Iraq.

Al-Fayha Precast is among the largest independently owned precast concrete companies in Iraq. Based in Southern Iraq near Basrah City they design and manufacture standard and custom precast concrete products to meet large-scale infrastructure demands for highway construction, retaining walls, electric and gas utility, telecommunications, water, on-site waste water, and sewage applications.
As part of their on going commitment to the rebuilding of Iraq Al-Fayha Precast have developed a low cost housing system and required them to add 150mm deep hollow core slabs into their current portfolio of precast products.

Spiroll was selected as the preferred supplier for this project as they were able to offer an extremely competitive package together with a proven hollowcore system that has the optimum usage of raw materials to ensure the most profitable production which fitted in line with Al Fayha Precast’s exceptional range of engineered precast products and solutions.
Spiroll were happy to support Al-Fayha in the construction of their own steel casting beds locally in Iraq. This enabled Al-Fayha to make savings on the transportation costs and import duties associated with importing the beds and more importantly facilitate the quickest possible start-up by having the new hollowcore lines in place prior to the arrival of the extruder.

Spiroll built an exact replica of the Al-Fayha casting bed at their production facility in the UK (this is standard practice for all contracts) which meant the extruder was built and all settings checked and approved prior to despatch. The Spiroll extruder can easily be adapted to work in conjunction with any brand/design of casting bed.
Not only does this save time during the commissioning process but for Al-Fayha’s machine it actually meant that Spiroll didn’t even have to send an engineer to commission the extruder. Spiroll gave full support with the concrete mix design and also supporting Al-Fayha with load span tables and design calculations compliant with ACI codes for the 150mm slabs to work with their low cost precast housing system.

The Spiroll extruder’s simple design means it very easy to use, set-up and maintain. As you can hopefully appreciate from the photos the unique design ensures that production is low cost and the finished hollowcore is of the highest quality.

The 16th Annual Conference of IPHA – Oslo, Norway 7th – 10th May 2011.
Spiroll is pleased to promote the International Prestressed Hollowcore Association. IPHA brings together over forty years of experience in the design, development, production, sales and marketing of Prestressed Hollowcore Flooring.

The Association was originally started as ISPA (International Spiroll Producers Association) in 1969 by seven companies who were operating Spiroll machines in seven different countries and saw the need to share experience and knowledge in design, development and production of hollowcore floors. IPHA has ever expanded to cover all aspects of the hollowcore flooring industry and has grown in size and strength ever since.
An IPHA Conference is held annually in a different host country. The conference generally lasts three days with members presenting papers on R & D, production, marketing and other relevant matters. There are also guest speakers of international repute. The programme usually includes a visit to a hollowcore production facility, local to the Conference venue, allowing new developments and variations in practice to be seen and discussed between Members.

The event is designed to be instructive and informative, but also has an enjoyable social programme for delegates and their partners in a generally relaxed atmosphere, which allows ample time for informal discussions outside the arranged programme events.
This year’s conference is being hosted by Contiga in Oslo in May this year. It will be a great event and is an absolute must for anyone in the hollowcore industry.
To encourage new members IPHA have until further notice suspended the current IPHA entrance fee of 2500 Euros.
For more information on this offer; joining IPHA and to find out about the conference in Oslo please feel free to contact Tony Crane info@hollowcore.org or visit the website www.hollowcore.org.
We hope to see you in Oslo!
