We partnered with Deconstruct UK to deliver a bespoke Temporary Logistics Deck, alongside four levels of Temporary Propping, for the luxury Cambridge House development in Piccadilly, London. Every temporary works scheme is different. To address this Conquip has engineered a modular logistics deck system, which can be designed as a bridge, a vehicle ramp or a storage deck for a vast range of projects. At Cambridge House, the Temporary Logistics Deck was crucial in overcoming site constraints; streamlining operations by serving as both a bridge and vehicle ramp, and enabling bulk excavation using a telescopic clam shell excavator from street level. The design significantly improved access and logistics in a tightly confined space, while integrated access hatches provided essential access to inclinometers for monitoring potential movement in the concrete piles. Our solution not only saved time and reduced costs but also demonstrated sustainability benefits by reducing the project’s carbon footprint.

Why has mass timber caught on more quickly in other parts of the world but not the U.S.? “European consumers are generally more willing to invest in enhanced value, while the North American market prioritizes meeting minimum requirements and minimizing first costs. Much of the value that mass timber can offer extends beyond these minimum requirements,” answers Lisa Podesto, the new director of mass timber and construction innovation at Swinerton. #contech #masstimber #aecbusiness https://lnkd.in/dE5RCp3b

Portadam's innovative approach to temporary water control solutions reflects a significant leap from past practices: In 1936, The iconic Hoover Dam was completed utilizing cofferdams, which were crucial for diverting the Colorado River and laying the foundation of what would become a marvel of modern engineering. Fast forward to today, and we see the evolution of this technology in Portadam's advanced cofferdam systems. Featuring a free-standing, eco-friendly design, Portadam's systems use modular steel frames and a nylon-reinforced PVC fabric liner, capable of retaining up to 12 feet of water. This technology not only secures a dry work area but also protects the surrounding environment, illustrating how modern engineering continues to build on historical foundations, while advancing sustainability and efficiency.

Supplied by Keyline Braintree, FP McCann Ltd first concrete-free headwall has been installed at the Elsenham park housing development in Hertfordshire. 🏠 Recognising the groundbreaking science behind the concrete-free headwall, the project’s leading infrastructure contractor, MACL Ltd, wanted to be a part of a trial of this nature. With cement and steel reinforcement being large contributors to concrete’s carbon footprint, FP McCann’s approach, using EFC binder and synthetic fibre reinforcement, offers a more sustainable alternative while increasing the structure’s service life.
