Crosswall
Crosswall construction is a modern and effective method of construction that employs factory precast, precision engineered, concrete components. Each component is custom-designed and manufactured to suit the specific project. This method…
Load-bearing walls
A load-bearing wall is a structural wall that carries the weight of the roof and upper floors down to the foundations. Concrete is an ideal material to use to support…
Tilt-up construction
Tilt-up construction involves site-casting the concrete walls of a building on its floor slab or on a separate casting bed and then tilting and lifting them into position by crane.…
Floor screeds
A floor screed is usually a cementitious material made from a 1:3 or 1:4.5 ratio of cement to sharp sand. It may be applied onto either a solid in-situ concrete…
TermoDeck
TermoDeck is an award-winning system that uses the thermal mass in hollowcore concrete floors to provide low energy heating and cooling. This highly-efficient system maintains year-round comfort by enabling the…
Hollowcore slabs
Hollowcore slabs derive their name from the voids or cores which run through the units. The cores can function as service ducts and significantly reduce the self-weight of the slabs,…
Flat slabs
Flat slabs are highly versatile elements widely used in construction, providing minimum depth, fast construction and allowing flexible column grids. Benefits Construction Construction of flat slabs is one of the…
Post-tensioned (PT) slabs
Post-tensioned (PT) slabs are typically flat slabs, band beam and slabs or ribbed slabs. PT slabs offer the thinnest slab type, as concrete is worked to its strengths, mostly being…
Ribbed and waffle slabs
Ribbed and waffle slabs provide a lighter and stiffer slab than an equivalent flat slab, reducing the extent of foundations. They provide a very good form of construction where slab…
Remediation of brownfield land
Stabilisation/solidification (S/S) is a civil engineering based ground remediation technique that involves the controlled addition and mixing of cementitious powders with contaminated soil to render a wide variety of contaminant…
