Programme Update: August 2018

By on

August 2018

Substructure

August has seen the continued development of the campus level and field level slab. The campus level walls have commenced for the wedged steps, including the installation of the final drainage run and service ducts.

Superstructure

During August the steel frame commenced heading south spanning over the swimming pool, with the largest of the trusses being erected on GL 7. This single piece of frame weighed 22 tonnes.

The decking for the upper floors has commenced for the northern end of the building.

Pre-cast beams above the swimming pool have been installed and fire protection to the steel frame has also commenced.

September 2018

During September we should expect completion of the substructure and the steel frame continuing south creating the full skeleton of the building.

Upper floor slab should be well progressed.

Commencement of the façade works at the northern end of the building should really show the project taking shape.

Building Fact File

  • The structure above the swimming pool, utilises pre cast concrete beams. The heaviest weighing 14 tonnes. All the beams above the swimming pool weighing in at 270 tonnes!

You Said, We Did!

Weekend noise – steel installation suspended weekend due to noise. McLaren adheres to the planning constraints.
