Activities on site
The 1st lift of blockwork forming the stair enclosure has been built. Low temperatures are hampering progress on site. Compass are looking at an alternative to the concrete blocks and cap slabs above 1st floor. An amendment to warrant will be required due to proposed change in fire proofing the stairwell. Fairhurst/Makar design & Building Warrant amendment submission is ongoing. @rhonadonnely
The GF Slab has been poured and is complete. Proposals required from Compass as to how the GF slab issues will be rectified.
Glulam erection is complete with exception of roof structure. The main posts and tie beams have been erected and braced with temporary props. Gf Panel installation is complete.
Floor cassettes have been installed and 1st floor panel installation is complete.
Roof trusses are being assembled on the deck ready for lifting into position.
Diagonal bracing remains to be fitted to the columns however the temporary bracing is still in place.
The kit and glulam installation looks to be of a good quality. Fixings are at very tight centres so no concerns with regard to nailing.
