I'm heading to London today to discuss some opportunities with a potential client organisation. These are quite typical of the enquiries we get, which I'm sure are of interest to readers: ✅ Improving vibration performance of an innovative CLT flooring system. We have a lot of enquiries regarding timber construction and recent trials have demonstrated excellent performance of our CALMFLOOR technology on such structures. ✅ Incorporating vibration control technology into a major new building. CALMFLOOR has the potential to both reduce embodied carbon and improve performance in new buildings. Incorporating the technology at the early stages of scheme design is critical to leveraging maximum benefit. ✅ Temporary installation of a trial unit in an existing building. Because CALMFLOOR is so small, lightweight and easy to install, we are able to carry out short and long-term trial installations for prospective customers. There is no substitute for experiencing the performance first hand prior to making a decision to purchase. If you have similar needs and enquiries, please reach out! #CALMFLOOR #buildingsustainability #vibrationcontrol

Voila! Heritage buildings and #masstimber. The APA – The Engineered Wood Association shares an interesting post on the retrofit of Appleton Mills, Lowell, Massachusetts. Culturally significant listed buildings often require delicate refurbishment. Retaining the original facade, as seen in the photo insert below, is a common sight in many cities, but what is not so common is to see the use of mass timber as the replacement structure. Genius. Extract from the article link in their post below: "The Appleton Mills complex, located in a historically significant urban National Park, includes 5 million square feet of space. The original structure was built in the 1870s with a second building added in 1906. The original building relied primarily on 12- to 15-inch-thick southern yellow pine (SYP) heavy timbers, spaced 9 feet on center, and 3-inch thick SYP decking. At the time the project began, with a goal of creating live/work lofts for artists, the buildings had been abandoned for about 20 years and were leaking in areas where the roof was missing. Nearly 40% of the floors had collapsed from rot. The timbers couldn’t be saved—two decades of exposure had deteriorated them beyond repair—and the developers were required to replace them with wood to meet historical regulations. As a result, the structures had to be completely gutted, including the framing, down to just the existing 3-foot-thick brick walls."

As well as aesthetics being hugely important, ‘customers are increasingly looking for products that offer great functionality but also have robust sustainability credentials,’ says Tom Randell of Ibstock Plc in CONCRETE magazine (A Key Building Block. April 2024, p22-23).   We couldn’t agree more. And we were delighted to find that our telescopic connectors for supporting precast stair landings off core walls are referenced in this pertinent article.   For the new energy-from-waste (EfW) facility in Rivenhall, Essex, tolerance, durability and visual appeal of the staircases were key considerations. An exposed, directly decorated finish was required. The design team’s solution incorporated RVK precast concrete stair landing connectors so that on-site bearings would be invisible. On completion, the overall aesthetics and flow would be seamless.   To read the article in full, head over to The Concrete Society or visit https://lnkd.in/ejsVvfmW #Precast #Concrete #MMC #Construction #ConstructionIndustry #UKConstruction #TelescopicConnectors #ModernMethodsOfConstruction #ConnectWithUs #SpeedSafetyStrength

When considering timber frame for your project, an important factor is aesthetics. Will choosing timber frame affect the look of the building compared to traditional building methods? The answer is no! Internally and externally, there should be no noticeable differences between a timber frame constructed building and any other conventional form of construction. For more timber frame FAQs, visit our website or talk to a friendly member of our team who can help. #TimberFrameBuildings #TimberFrameManufacturer #Construction #Housebuilder

The great and interesting thing about freelancing is how much I learn about other businesses and how (especially in construction) trades and skills come together to create a building of some kind. All those little/big jobs that must flow in sequence and be 100 percent right - using the right products and skills. It’s quite the art. Anyway, here’s a reel I did on lightweight screed for Widopan today. I’m excited to see the inside of this building when it’s all finished. #freelance #socialmedia #contentcreation #marketing
