This is a two storey residential apartment block, comprising of 20 units from memory, that I visited in Hampton. Whilst I was taking photographs of the building from outside the security fence, I was fortunate enough to be spotted by the construction manager, who got out of his car and happily showed me through the building.
Drainage pipes and tanking to sub-basement structure.
Workmen's scaffolding platforms.
Heavy precast panels that frame the main entrance to the building. Adjacent walls showing rebated lines on precast panels for ornamentation.
Acro props working to temporariliy support the curing slab above.
High density/strength reinforced precast concrete beams holding the weight of the above bondeck and slab. Reduces the required space for the floor/ceiling cavity.
Services penetration through bondeck slab. Most likely for smoke detectors.
Steel connection plates welded to adjoining concrete precast panels. Combined with the insitu floor slab this creates ample rigidity between the wall panels. Also, caulking between panels is evident, working as a membrane against moisture penetration.
