Flood Precast found it was a real pleasure to work with the SRM and PCE teams on this prestigious project for Dandara. Floods Screedless Prestressed Floor was chosen over traditional Hollowcore for program reasons. To start with the units are 2.4m wide, so half the number of crane lifts. We also eliminated the requirement for a structural screed which allowed the multi-storey building to progress vertically much faster. Flood Precast also produced 980No  prefinished balcony to PCE’s design. This was transported to a holding yard where the permanent glazing barrier was installed and then brought to the site and lifted into the final position.

The unsung heroes on this project are undoubtedly the logistics people in each organisation who worked seamlessly together to ensure a first class, just in time delivery service. Special thanks to our Transport partners Gwynedd Shipping, BM Transport and HMT Shipping for their outstanding efforts.
