March 2017 Ground Beams & Pile caps Reinforced steel bars were pre-fabricated into cages and positioned in the trenches, a pecafil formwork shutter was then installed and the concrete cast to form the pile caps and ground breams (the use of formwork concrete shuttering significantly reduces waste which is great for the environment!). Steel Frame Once the concrete had cured the steel frame was erected and the columns bolted in placed directly above the pile caps. The Transfer deck was then fixed in place with shear bolts to create the 1 st floor. General Building control visited site on 10/04/2017 with no concerns raised

This building will feature 2 contracting cladding materials, the first an aluminium rainscreen and the second a unique black Brick slip system; soon both will be visible for all to see! The External walls are being heavily insulated with ultra-low conductivity PIR Insulation, this insulation will contribute to the target u-value of 0.15w/m2K ensuring carbon emissions are kept to a minimum beyond completion.
