Project Spotlight: Saint George's Island Remediation Project
The remediation of Saint George’s Island, a ?large residential development in Manchester’s sought-after Castlefield area, represents one of the UK’s most significant Building Safety Fund funded projects. The development consists of five blocks ranging between 8 and 14 storeys. ?The remediation of the building’s fa?ades and balconies is being spearheaded by?Starfish Construction.
Given the scale of the project and the active residential occupancy, seamless coordination between Starfish Construction’s design, project management and site teams, along with the MyDek technical team, were essential. Replacing the existing timber balcony decking with Luxura A1 fire rated deck boards allowed Starfish Construction to meet the necessary fire regulations while enhancing the overall aesthetic and durability of the balconies.
Secure Your Path: Safety and Structural Considerations for Walkways?
When designing walkways, adhering to British Standards is crucial alongside safety and functionality. Walkways must be engineered to handle potentially heavy loads, which can range from regular pedestrian traffic to emergency evacuations. As such, there is a need for robust deck systems that can sustain these forces and pressures without excessive deflection.
In our latest blog post, we take a closer look at the safety and structural considerations for walkways.?
