We had a lovely time with artist and long-time friend Rodney Harris at #BrickWorksLondon, sharing the stories behind Burridge Gardens' sculptures. Alongside our partner Phil Catcheside and associate Campbell Metcalfe, Rodney shared one of our favourite tales: the story of two ducks perched on the espalier tree sculpture on the community hall entrance. These carvings celebrate and remember Dilly and Dally - a beloved pair who make their way back to the area every year. We’re proud of our collaboration with sculptors Valda Jackson MBE RWA and Rodney Harris which has kept the site's past and memories alive. And thank you to Ibstock Plc for hosting us, and Brick Development Association (BDA) for inviting us to speak alongside David Kohn Architects and ACS Stainless Steel Fixings Ltd. https://lnkd.in/eY4xn3pD

Visiting our new automated brick slip factory in Nostell today. The beast lives ! Now up and running with packs of cut slips awaiting loading for a big project in London. These will go onto a mechanically fixed facade which is Llghter and faster than traditional construction, with inherent benefits of speed and security.

We’re pleased to announce we will be exhibiting at #OffsiteExpo on stand G05 on 17 & 18 September 2024! For more information and to book your £FOC ticket, visit: www.offsite-expo.co.uk – We look forward to seeing you there We will be showcasing our #facadesystems #brickslips & #prefab concrete solutions!

Closing the Week on a high ✅💯 Another 5 days of; Enquiries ✉️ Chasing📞 Factory tours 🥾 Presentations 🖥️ and successes 💪🏻 Not forgetting challenges! In order to progress in any situation. The ability to overcome challenges is the real key 🗝️ #teamwork #lovemyjob #facades #friday

It's brick. It's GRC. It's precast. This systems is lighter weight than conventional masonry, much faster to install, unlimited brick options, coursing can be whatever you want it to be including vertical, projection bricks, running bond, stack bond, soldier coursing, etc. This is especially advantageous in mid-rise and high-rise construction. #brick #masonry #modfacade

There is a cash prize of £1000 on offer for the winner!!

How is Glass Reinforced Concrete advancing building techniques in the construction industry? As the construction industry advances, new, more efficient techniques are continuously sought after. Modular construction has seen a rise in recent years, aided by GRC’s lightweight and modular nature. Panels can be prefabricated off-site, reducing construction time and labour costs whilst also reducing wastage through consistent quality checks that may be absent when producing panels on-site where defects or poor-quality panels are prevalent. A recent example of this efficient approach to construction is the extension of ExCel London where GRC specialist McCormick Construction have installed a stretch of brick-faced GRC arches as part of a 25% expansion of the original 100,000m² exhibition and conference facilities. By using GRC, panels could be fitted to the existing structure without the need for reinforcement of the building’s foundations whilst also cutting down on additional material usage such as concrete or steel. Moreover, the fast installation time of the GRC panels meant there was minimal disruption to the ExCel Docklands which is a public footway and could not be shut down whilst construction was taking place.
