Walsgrave PFI Hospital, Coventry Manchester Royal Infirmary Edith Cavell Hospital Advantages of Metek Light Steel Framing in Healthcare buildings Significantly reduced time on site vs masonry Increased quality Faster speed of construction BIM, Revit modelled Hot rolled steel incorporated as part of the light steel frame Light weight provides thermally responsive construction and good energy efficiency. Safer construction process Non-combustible construction Sheathing can be rigid high performance insulation with brick cladding or cement particle board where cladding or rain screen are specified. Savings in foundation/slab weights Less site waste Structural performance substantiated by tests High levels of insulation and airtightness easily achieved Predictability of process Just-in-time delivery Good energy efficiency Steel construction can be designed to achieve high levels of acoustic insulation and low vibration response to meet stringent NHS requirements, without compromising structural efficiency. Walsgrave PFI Hospital, Coventry Metek’s light steel infill walling system was used to create the building envelope at Walsgrave PFI Hospital under a tight construction programme. Deliveries, site storage, waste and disruption had to be minimised, which was achieved by specifying Metek’s light steel infill walling. The Metek package included supply and fixing of the cement particle board sheathing and the steel wind posts. © 2016 Metek Plc. · Privacy · Terms
