A Major 'Rollout' of Bamtec...

In our largest project to date, Dublin Childrens Hospital, we were proud to partner with Hy-Ten and BAM Construction to design and deliver this value engineered refined BAMTEC solution.

Qube re-designed the suspended slabs replacing loose bar reinforcement with refined BAMTEC carpets delivering material savings whilst enabling accelerated installation.

This was used in conjunction with precast columns as part of an overall DfMA value engineered approach.

Why model backpropping?....

And is it worth it? We think so. We believe we are the first to explicitly model backpropping in a slab design. We do this within a construction staged sequential analysis (both linear and non-linear).

This delivers a number of benefits. First, a greater understanding of the slab behaviour at this critical early stage of its life is gained as well as accurate load transfer through the number of back propping levels applied whether single or multi level. Propping arrangements, their forces, layout strategies, can be iteratively assessed for a Contractors preferred approach.

Finally, further levels of design efficiency are gained with greater predictive accuracy of the long term effects, especially when deflection sensitive (not uncommon today with demands to design ever thinner slabs).

Need to showcase your product...

For this appointment, we created and developed our own visual style to showcase a new precast hybrid product line for Explore Manufacturing (Laing O'Rourke), bringing to life and enhancing their technical design literature.
