No one would have told this you!! 🤑 If you are planning to build your dream beach house, then PSC is your right cement! Portland Slag Cement is suitable for general construction work including concrete mix, plasterwork and masonry. Why PSC for Coastal beach houses??? Not just Beach house, Portland Slag Cement (PSC) is also suitable for hydraulic works like dams, retaining walls, etc. Mass concrete works like diaphragm walls, concrete roads, large foundations, etc., can also use PSC. #construction #constructionmanagement #constructionanddesign #psccement #residences #commercialbuilding #industrialdesign #floorplan #cementtexture #cementtypes

Members of our team recently paid a visit to the project site for Garlington Warehouse, off Woodruff Road, to observe and participate in an exciting two-step building style called "tiltwalls" or "tilt-up construction." Here's how it works! First, slabs of concrete, which most often comprise load-bearing sections of a building envelope or elevation, are cast horizontally on a concrete slab-on-ground. The slabs are then lifted (tilted) with a crane after the concrete has reached sufficient strength. The crane sets the panels on prepared foundations, thus forming the desired wall line from a series of consecutive panels standing next to each other. #MaterialMonday #TiltWalls #TiltUpConstruction #EngineeringExcellence #FullerGroup #FullerBuilt #StructuralEngineering #EngineeringDesign #EngineeringLife #Construction

Wasting time and budget in the process of construction of concrete structures of buildings and bridges refers to the common problem of inefficiency and excessive cost in traditional methods of constructing concrete structures. This can occur due to a variety of factors, such as the need for numerous stirrups and rebars, which can be time-consuming and expensive to install, or inaccurate loading calculations, which can cause delays and require costly rework. Stirrup Surface technique offers a solution to this problem by simplifying the construction process and reducing the amount of material needed, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective approach to building concrete structures.

Did you know that structures built with an insulated solid wall construction method like #ICF are designed for longevity? It's all down to the fact that the #ICF blocks are made from an insulating material which provides the perfect environment for the concrete as it dries. The concrete can set quickly but cure very slowly which allows it to gain additional strength. This results in a home that is incredibly strong and durable resulting in minimal repairs over the lifetime of the building when compared to some timber structures. Is it time to change your choice of build material? #BuildingStrength #ICF #DurableHomes https://lnkd.in/ecEAERvG

Concrete contamination - is this a consideration for you when designing a car park structure? Vehicles carry in contaminants via tyres and exhaust fumes, which are transported to reinforcing steel via moisture movement. This moisture movement can not only be sealed out of the concrete, but also stopped when underway. The best time is during construction. For the Gosford Hospital Car Park, the INFRA-TECT system was used - this system protects the concrete from weathering, and also prevents corrosion of the reinforcing steel, increasing durability. Have a look at this project here! https://bit.ly/3vWVnQa The builder benefits, the asset owner benefits, and the architect benefits when working with MARKHAM's specification team, as we can detail the system into the design and provide a project-specific performance warranty.

If you are going to build the Empire State Building, the first thing you need to do is dig a deep hole and pour a strong foundation. If you are going to build a house, all you need is a six-inch slab of concrete. Most people are trying to build the Empire State Building on a six-inch slab.

precast staircase placement! Precast concrete stairs are manufactured using precast concrete materials and other precast components. These stairs are cast away from the construction site, in a controlled environment, where manufacturers ensure the right mix of materials to create durable and well-shaped precast concrete stairs.

Did you know that National House - Building Council (NHBC) estimate that you might save up to 3 months in terms of a new build if you opt for timber frame over masonry? #timberframe #prefabricated #prefabhome #newconstruction #newbuild
