Beaufort Park

The project involved the construction of a basement (2670m2). The Ground, First and Second Floors had an overall area of 4870m2. From Second floor the frame broke into 4no adjoining RC frames which consisted of Blocks C5, C6, C11 and C12 consisting of a total area of 3050m2 and varied in height from 8 stories plus roof to 10 stories plus roof.

For the suspended slabs in each block it was decided to use Bamtec roll out mats as our preferred reinforcement method which proved to be both economical and a programme enhancing method of reinforcement.

Precast columns were introduced from the level 2 transfer slab. These columns were cast at our in house precast yard based in Luton, Bedfordshire and delivered to site each morning after wepoured the corresponding slab pour. Utilising this precast method reduced the onerous demands on our in house cranes enabling a significantly greater ability to facilitate other aspects of our construction process and in turn presented the opportunity to accelerate our construction programme offering significant gains to our overall programme duration.

All stairs were constructed with a PCC Strair system, allowing the construction of our stairs to remain no more than two floors behind our live decks without having to remove our internal core platforms.  Thus offering the site the benefit of several means of access, which in turn enabled the following fit out trades earlier access to all levels on site which benefited our client St. George’s fit out programme.

All GCL deliveries were coordinated on a just in time delivery basis which again benefited the site allowing greater storage for all the follow on trades.
