Umkhiqizi wamathayela ophahleni uphakamisa ukukhathazeka ngezinguquko zomthetho

Umkhiqizi wamathayela ophahleni olugxotshiwe, Russell Roof Tiles, uxwayise ngokuthi kungase kube nokunye ukuphazamiseka emkhathizwe wesakhiwo kanye ukwakhiwa uma i-UK yamukela izinguquko ezihlongozwayo ezivezwe emthethweni waseYurophu ozayo.

Ihlelelwe ukwethulwa ngo-2024, lokhu kuzokwenza umthelela ezidingweni zokulungisa ama-tile ophahleni akhiqizwe e-UK nama-slate futhi kusho ukuthi izindleko zizodlula ophahleni.

Lokhu kuvela ngemuva kwezinselelo zamanje esezivele zibhekene nemboni ngenxa yokuwa kweBrexit neCovid-19 - okuhlanganisa ukushoda kwabashayeli, lo inkinga kaphethiloli, Futhi isidingo somhlaba wonke - manje sekwenze kwaba kubi kakhulu intengo yezinto zokusetshenziswa. Noma I-Confederation of British Industry (CBI) is predicting the UK economy will reach pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2021, other experts are less optimistic, warning of a 'isiphepho esihle esakhiweni' lokho kungase kuphazamise ukululama kweBrithani.

Mark Parsons, Technical Director at Russell Roof Tiles, believes this ‘perfect storm’ will be further compounded if the UK Government does not appropriately consider the implications of BS EN 1991-1-4: 2005 + A1: 2021. This forms part of the Eurocode series and the European standard for wind actions on structures which is currently undergoing its five-year review. He explains: “Although Britain has now left the European Union (EU), there are still amazinga okusebenza angcono kakhulu kufanele sibambelele lapho kungenzeka khona. Abagcini nje ngokuhlinzeka ngolimi olujwayelekile kubanikazi, opharetha, abasebenzisi, abaklami, osonkontileka, nabakhiqizi, kodwa futhi bakha ukwethembana kuwo wonke amaketanga okunikezela futhi basuse izithiyo zobuchwepheshe ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukusebenzisana okukhulu komkhiqizo.

Endabeni ye-BS EN 1991-1-4: 2005 + A1: 2021, ehlobene nazo zonke izici zesakhiwo ukuklama nokuthuthukiswa of buildings, there are major implications for the calculated design wind loads acting on roof tiles, slates and their accessories. Under the proposals, the current definition for wind velocity calculations and the pressure it exerts on a structure would no longer be applicable in the UK and Ireland.

“Ukusebenzisa enye incazelo ephakanyisiwe kusho ukuthi kuzoba nokwenyuka okukhulu kwenani lezinsimbi ezidingekayo kukho kokubili ama-tiles ophahleni nezinye izinsimbi. Esimeni esibi kakhulu, okunye ukulungisa kungase kuthathwe njengokungenele, kubangele amathayela athile noma ububanzi bomkhiqizo ukuthi bungabe bungasebenzi.

Umthelela wensalela wezinguquko ezihlongozwayo ezihambisana nezindleko zokulungiswa okwengeziwe, ukwanda kwabasebenzi kanye nesikhathi esengeziwe sokwakha esizolandela kuzokwenza uphahla lwase-UK lubize kakhulu ukwakha.”  

I-Roof Tile Association (RTA) - indikimba yezohwebo yase-UK emele abakhiqizi abahamba phambili bamathayela ophahleni lwezixazululo zophahla olugxotshiwe - njengamanje yenza ukuhlaziya ngezinga lenkinga. Kanye nokubheka ukuthi zingaki ezinye izilungiso ezingadingeka ngaphansi kwencazelo entsha, noma ukuthi ukulungiswa kwamanje kuzofaneleka yini, ithimba lochwepheshe bezobuchwepheshe liphinde lihlole umthelela kumasistimu omile / inqulu kanye ne-verrge.

Ukuhlola kwasekuqaleni kukaRussell Roof Tiles kubonisa ukuthi ukukhuphuka komthwalo kungahluka kusuka kumaphesenti angama-30 kuye kwayi-160 kuzo zonke izitayela ezihlukene zophahla lwe-mono pitch, futhi ububanzi bemikhiqizo yayo eminingi bungaba nomthelela ngandlela thize. Le nkampani ikholelwa ukuthi i-UK kufanele imelane nokwamukela izinguquko ze-BS EN 1991-1-4: 2005 + A1: 2021 ngoba izoba nomthelela omubi kosonkontileka abafulela ezweni lonke kanye nakubakhi bama-tile ophahla baseBrithani.

UMnu Parsons uthi: “Selokhu uHulumeni ememezele 'Build back better' Isu kulandela ukuvala, kube khona i i-boom emangalisayo emkhakheni wezokwakha, umkhiqizo ukhuphuka kakhulu kuzo zonke izindawo. Into yokugcina okufanele ngabe iyayenza ukufaka isipanela kwezinye izindawo. 

“Lokhu kumayelana nokuthatha indlela ephusile nokuqonda ukuthi uma kukhona okungaphukile asikho isidingo sokuzama ukuyilungisa. Amathayili ophahleni lwase-UK nokulungiswa asebenze ngokuphepha nangempumelelo kusukela agcina ukuhlolwa ngaphansi kwe-BS.5534 eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule.

"Uma i-Brexit imayelana nokuvuselela ukukhiqizwa kweBrithani, kufanele sivunyelwe ukugxila ekuphenduleni izidingo zemakethe kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi ukusimama kwesikhathi esizayo; ukungafaki imithwalo yemisebenzi enzima kakade ohlelweni lokuthuthukisa umkhiqizo omusha oluqhutshwa ukusetshenziswa kwentshiseko ngokweqile kwezidingo ze-EU.”

Okuthunyelwe Umkhiqizi wamathayela ophahleni uphakamisa ukukhathazeka ngezinguquko zomthetho ivele kuqala Izindaba Zomkhakha Wezokwakha.
