The use of ecologically safe and recyclable building materials was a clear objective of this project. Geothermal heating in combination with Sorp 10^® reduces the energy requirement enormously and ensures pleasant room acoustics in the open areas.

The requirements for shuttered fair-faced concrete surfaces are particularly high for representative structural elements in building construction. For this purpose, spacers with a minimum contact area are recommended in order to avoid marking the contact points.

Acoustic and thermal decoupling is important for quality of living when connecting multi-storey residential buildings via arcades.

MAX FRANK supplied Shearail^® punching shear reinforcement & Stremaform^® jointing formwork to the multi-phase development, located in the Royal Albert Basin area of the Royal Albert Docks.

Whether for force transmission, sealing or special component geometries – there is a great deal of variation in the execution of expansion joints. For that reason, the manufacture of this formwork on the building site is often complex, unreliable and time-consuming.

For optimum shear force transmission, load-bearing precast concrete sections can be connected to the internal structure using Egcobox^® thermal breaks.
