How do Gabion retaining walls compare to Redi-Rock? Compared to Redi-Rock wet cast large retaining wall blocks, gabions offer a mix of tradeoffs🧰. Gabions are assembled on-site, requiring more space and additional labor for installation🦺 but they also offer design and installation flexibility with different sized cages and fill material. Being comprised of rocks and stone provides drainage qualities and an aesthetic only gabions can, however, unsecured fill material🛠️ makes it difficult to trust gabions in some live-load scenarios.

From mesh type A60 to A120, the longitude and cross wire is different, the mesh space is 100mm x 300mm. the sheet size of ribbed reinforced mesh is 2400mm x 6000mm. The mesh hole is a rectangle shape. It's popular to use on flooring slab, dividing walls for non loading bearing partitions, construction footing foundation, bridge and pier,colomun,road and highway foundation etc. #ConstructionMaterials #ReinforcementMesh #QualityBuild #StructuralIntegrity

Did you know….building with ICF, allows large wall areas to be constructed quickly and efficiently. In fact, a standard ground floor layout of a home can typically be completed in just a couple of days! To construct the walls, the ICF blocks quickly lock into place through a profiled edge and there is no need for a bedding material such as mortar. With ICF you typically need to build in stages (usually to first floor height) before pouring concrete in a central cavity. Once the concrete has cured you continue with the next stage. #ICFConstruction #BuildSpeed #BuildEfficiency #ICFBlock #UKConstruction

Built around 1910, these vitrified clay tile silos were failing. Both silos exhibited numerous areas of cracked, spalled, and bulging tiles. This style of silo was first introduced in Iowa around 1909 and are known as "Iowa Silos". Their primary function was the storage and preservation of silage. To save these beautiful structures, we introduced new load-bearing concrete walls on the inside face of the silos to reinforce the existing silo walls. Helifix anchors were used to secure the tiles to the concrete, essentially converting the existing tiles to a non-load-bearing veneer. Once completed, repairs to the damaged tiles could be implemented.

Why is Cupolex dome shaped? A dome is an architectural structure that resembles the shape of an inverted bowl or half of a sphere. The arch structure inside each Cupolex dome distributes loads evenly, allowing it to bear weight and resist compression. The stability created by the interlocking arches also allow for versatile use cases including relocatable slabs. Cupolex is the smart concrete void former.

Insulating period properties is rather challenging! Age and construction: Period properties are often centuries old and were built using traditional construction methods that are not as airtight as modern methods. This means that there are often gaps and cracks in the walls, floors, and ceilings that can let in cold air. Traditional construction such as lath & plaster walls and ornate cornices make insulating tricky. One solution is to insulate behind the lath & plaster, such as with spray foam or bonded beads – but these methods carry serious risks, sometimes leading to damp and rot. Often constructed with natural materials such as timber, stone, and brick. These materials can be more porous than modern materials and can therefore allow heat to escape more easily. Original features such as sash windows, fireplaces, and chimneys can be difficult to draught-proof without compromising their aesthetic appeal or historical integrity. Many period properties are listed buildings, which means that there are restrictions on what can be done to them. This can make it difficult to make major changes to improve draught-proofing, such as replacing windows or installing insulation. This is where an infrared heating system may be a very good solution as it heats people and objects rather than the air! Let’s talk about how we might be able to help. #heatingsolutions #periodproperty #ruralproperty #commercialproperty #infraredheating

Brick Wall Ties are pieces of metal used in buildings with cavity walls. The ties give stability to brick (masonry) walls by anchoring them to the adjacent wall, which is usually made from wood or concrete. Corrugated wall ties can only be used with wood stud backups. https://buff.ly/4bgkahD #brickwalltie #galvanizedwalltie #walltie #cavitywalls
