Wincro wall ties pass the sound test
Independent tests undertaken on the WT4 wall tie range from Wincro Metal Industries, have confirmed that they exceed all the requirements of Part E of the Building Regulations.
Completion date is scheduled for October 2006.
Particular care had to be taken with the demolition around the retained facade and close proximity of the Grand Union Canal to the rear of the redevelopment necessitated extensive dewatering of the site.
Wincro Metals provided the masonry support, ties cramps and wind posts.
John Faulkner, Costain's Construction Manager at the Ovaltine Building commented.
"We have worked with Wincro Metals on several previous projects and their design input and application, together with their expertise of masonry support systems have been such that we had no hesitation in using them on this prestigious redevelopment.".
