Case Studies
Click on the titles below to view details of Slimdek® projects:
Central Park
Central Park, Dublin, comprises ten multi-storey buildings providing commercial office space with the largest building, Block E, having a plan area of 24,435m². Originally the design was conceived as a reinforced concrete flat slab, but Slimdek's ability to compete on speed of construction reulted in the change to steel.
House of Fraser
Slimdek was the first choice for renovation of the House of Fraser's retail store in Guildford. The building was extended by 2-storeys whilst satisfying strict planning requirements on building height, and the opportunity was created to remodel the store, providing a 5-storey atrium topped with a curved tubular steel roof.
Media City
Zero4 is a new city centre development with retail outlets on the ground floor and luxury apartments above. The ten-storey residential block will contain 120 flats, from one-bedroom studio flats up to three-bedroom duplex apartments on the upper levels.
Platinum Point
The Platinum Point development at Leith is a luxury residential regeneration project that comprises five interconnecting 11 and 13-storey blocks containing apartments and penthouses on Edinburgh's waterfront. The Slimdek flooring system was adopted to allow higher ceilings as well as maximising the number of floor levels within the building height.
St Richards Hospital
The Slimdek flooring system proved to be the healthy choice for the state-of-the-art Diagnosis and Treatment Centre at St Richard's Hospital, Chichester.
Sunderland Royal Hospital
Sunderland Royal Hospital's steel-framed five-storey extension was opened Spring 2006. The 15,000m² development incorporates three general and two ultra-clean operating theatres as well as sterilising facilities for the theatres and a mortuary.
The Gateway
The Gateway development in Dublin comprises three office blocks and two apartment blocks on a 3.75 acre site with a large single storey basement beneath, which has space for 300 cars.
The Lighthouse
The Lighthouse forms part of Bellway Homes' Prospect Place development overlooking Cardiff Bay. The L-shaped structure has a 12-storey main block and a 60-storey wing and comprises 20 studios, 24 one-bedroom and 58 two-bedroom apartments as well as four penthouses. This high rise residential development was originally conceived and gained planning approval as a reinforced concrete structure, but was ultimately built using steel.
Zero 4
A switch from a concrete frame to steel construction using Slimdek has been a major factor in the success of a complex city centre residential project.
