Crosswall construction

Crosswall construction comprises a number of factory engineered concrete components including: 

‐Walls‐ Floors & Ceilings‐ Stairs & Landings‐ Lift Shafts

Crosswall Construction 

Prestressed flat slabs spanning from cross wall to cross wall and are recessed to receive bathroom pod

Pod forms part of corridor wall and service riser

External walls with window openings

Internal dividing walls 

Floor slabs are stitched together and act as a diaghram providing lateral stability

Ties in every unit

Walls are stitchedtogether to form load bearing joints

Vertical Battery Mould

• Concrete is poured from the top of the mould using self compacting concrete.

• Vertical battery moulds provide a class ‘C’ finish and are used for party walls.

Exposed Soffits – Detailing: Points to consider

19/05/2016

Exposed Soffits – Detailing: Be realistic about achievable finish

• Typically an ‘A’ grade finish

• Always an as struck finish (although some touching up will be required for grade B)

• Benchmark samples with manufacturer early to align expectations

• No over wiring of units to be permitted in manufacture

Exposed Soffits – Detailing: Or consider a painted soffit

19/05/2016

• Different slab depths (and different manufactures) have differing cutting zones

• Flexibility on cut widths units reduces in‐situ strips (CDM/ visual )

Exposed Soffits – Detailing: Consider layout and cut locations

Exposed Soffits – Detailing: Setting out

• Uniform layout to reduce visual impact of camber

• But non‐cut edges together

19/05/2016

Exposed Soffits – Detailing: Hide cut edges

• Cut edge hidden by non load bearing steel

• Non loading bearing steel introduced to eradicate site propping (CDM)

• No temporary works required (CDM)

• To reduce cost steel angle or plate can be stitch welded

• Tidy detail to contain concrete infill

• Control and align carefully
