Article 4 - Creating A Classic Concrete

April 2008 Concrete

Article describes a pre-cast concrete method used by Bovis Lend Lease in a new retail complex in the UK. The choice to use this method was guided by sustainability and how environmentally friendly concrete is.

The off site manufacturing allowed consistency in the colour and texture of the concrete. The key for the contractors was being able to time each element of the build, a particularly pertinent element of the construction. It was essential that a sequence was followed and that nothing was damaged in transistor handling.
