Denny Lacelles renovation

I was directed to visit the Wycombe construction group office of this project right at school on the fourth level by Peter Healy from Hollowcore as an example for the technology. These were the few photos I could take from the side of site as I was not allowed on.


This addition to the building is made entirely of pre-cast members, including hollowcore floor in conjunction with pc beams and columnns.
Sprinkler system is pre-installed. The planks in use here are 300 deep, four core type.

the construction office was very helpful in letting me access documentation drawings that has been really helpful for research and member specifications. I might be modelling my own assignment on the span length and floor planks in this project. I also have been looking at connection details, made up by the engineer. Unfortunately, i can't post them here as they are confidential.
