MAX FRANK Shearail^® was installed across the project as the product increases the shear resistance of a slab and safely transfers the shear load from the slab to the column. Shearail^® is EC2 and BS 8110 compliant, enabling site work to be carried out effectively and efficiently. As the only punching shear solution approved by both BBA and CARES, Shearail^® outperforms alternative products available on the market – at no extra cost.

MAX FRANK Egcobox^® was used on the project as thermal insulation was needed to avoid thermal bridges. The Egcobox^® structural connecting element creates a thermal break between an external component and an internal component. The Egcobox^® thermal break balcony connector conforms to the recently amended Building Regulations 7(2) for combustible products for England.
