This low rise office building was part of a large industrial project.
The client required a speedy construction method with minimal staff on
site.
Installation of the wide "band beam" shell
The precast columns, edge beams and wall panels are also
visible.
Primary top bending reinforcement
Top reinforcement over the band beam column support and slab
continuity over the band beam.
No other reinforcement was installed on
site as the steel fibre reinforced concrete topping does
not require distribution steel.
Precast edge beam and band beam connection
Illustrates the rebates of the edge beam and simplicity of installation.
Soffit
Two rows of props were required for the long span of the band beam. The system provides
an excellent work platform above and relatively clear space below for ongoing
construction activity.
