Tune Into Halfen - For Vibration-Free Fixing
Halfen, the UK leading supplier of channel-based fixings for the building and construction industries, have the ready-made answer to new Control Of Vibration at Work Regulations.
Designed by Eastwood and Partners, the three social housing partnership blocks are rectangular in shape, whilst the five private apartment buildings feature broadly curving elevations with the largest following an oval plan.
To facilitate erecting the masonry around these curving facades, Halfen worked closely with the engineers and architects, providing specification guidance and bespoke CAD packages.
The HMA angle was supplied in various lengths no greater than 1.2m to enable the correct curves to be achieved.
Unusually, the civil engineering contractor followed through as the concrete achieved sufficient strength fixing all brackets and angles to exactly the correct level for the bricklayers to construct the fair-faced masonry.
Halfen also supplied heavy duty channels and brackets to support reconstructed stone corbels, parapets and other detailing at the top of the blocks of luxury flats. Request a free brochure from Halfen ...
