Did you know that Trussed Rafters are classed as a Category 3 modern method of construction (MMC)? This means they can improve your project's pre-manufactured value! To find out more about timber in construction give us a call on 01952 771170. #MMC #PMV #TimberEngineering

One important aspect of maintaining a parking deck is ensuring its structural integrity. Through thermal contraction and expansion of the concrete deck, cracks can form if movement is not properly accommodated. These openings can allow water, chlorides, dirt, and debris to seep into the structure, causing damage and compromising safety. That's where expansion joints come in. Expansion joints are designed to absorb movement in structures, preventing cracks from forming. For parking decks, the Thermaflex Parking Deck Expansion Joint by Sika Emseal provides a traffic ready and watertight system to fill and bridge expansion joints. https://lnkd.in/emkqzYqg #expansionjoints #sealants #construction #constructionindustry #constructionproducts #constructionprojects #buildingenvelope #buildingenclosure #buildingproducts #buildingmaterials #buildingconstruction #builtenvironment #propertyowners #propertymanagement #buildingowners #facilitiesmanagement #Sika #Emseal

Great video demonstrate the cofferdam technique and construction of the segmental bridges!! + one method used for building bridges over deep water bodies is the cofferdam technique. This involves constructing a wall that encloses an area within the water, and then continuously pumping out the water from that area. Once the cofferdam is established, the foundation of the bridge, including its pillars, can be built. Since these bridges are constructed in the sea or river itself, constant monitoring is necessary to anticipate and address high water tides. Bridges built using this technique are known for their strength and ability to bear heavy loads. #Construction #segmentalbridges #civilengineering

Another great project in #50years of Reinforced Earth UK & Nordics As part of the continuing development of the existing Dun Laoghaire Harbour, there was a requirement for a 430m long #breakwater.   During the project tender, an alternative design for the breakwater using the Reinforced Earth UK & Nordics precast concrete panel system with #geosynthetic soil reinforcements.   This alternative demonstrated significant cost savings over the reinforced concrete caissons shown in the project tender documents.   Construction of the breakwater commenced in the summer of 2000 following the completion of dredging works and placing of the submerged rock fill core. Construction was substantially complete by November 2000.   The construction was performed between tides by starting from the shore and progressing into the harbour. In this way all of the labour, plant and materials required for construction travelled along the partially completed breakwater from a land base. This procedure virtually eliminated the need for expensive floating plant.   The #reinforcedearth breakwater was designed to withstand traffic loading, diurnal tidal variations and a substantial lateral wave force from a specified ‘design wave’. Furthermore, by using a high tenacity #polymeric soil reinforcement strip and connection system, potential corrosion difficulties were eliminated.   #reinforcedearth  #mse Terre Armee #dunlaoghaire #seawalls #coastal #ports #breakwaters #harbour #polymeric #geosynthetic

Explore the complexities of water exposure in Mass Timber construction, particularly cross-laminated timber (CLT), in our latest post. While CLT offers eco-friendly and cost-effective benefits, understanding the risks associated with prolonged water exposure is crucial. Learn about the potential issues such as mold growth, dimensional instability, and rot, which can compromise both the structural integrity and safety of the building. Stay informed to mitigate risks and ensure the longevity of your Mass Timber projects. Read more https://ow.ly/GsPn50QX1oa - - - #smt #leakdetection
