Kwikastrip - the second time around

Halfen's Kwikastrip used to provide simple and effective reinforcement continuity across construction joints at the Millennium Dome.

When Halfen's Kwikastrip was used to provide simple and effective reinforcement continuity across construction joints at the Millennium Dome, the company did not expect to be re-supplying the same project, now called O2 Arena, some seven years later.

However, after all the public debate about what to do with the world's largest fabric roof structure, the answer was to keep the famous landmark and build, to the designs of HOK Sport Architecture, a completely new structure underneath for use as an entertainments venue.

Under their contract to Sir Robert McAlpine, Byrne Bros are responsible for the structural concrete package, including 16 new cores, with Kwikastrip typically being used for all slab/landing connections.
