Project Overview
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
This innovative company were expanding their R & D facility at their Malmsbury HQ in the UK. The building consisted of steel columns and an RC Flat Slab on a 9m x9m square grid. The proposal was to use our filigree slab as a permanent shutter but to have the bottom mat of steel cast into the precast.
PROPORTION OF PROJECT UNDERTAKEN
All of the slabs forming the first floor and roof used as a permanent shutter to eliminate the need to erect and prepare table forms and lay the bottom mat of the rebar cage for such a large flat slab.

Once this was done and approved by the Client we then manufactured the elements in our carousel factory, delivered them to site to be fitted by a crew employed directly by the main contractor.
