Building Conversion
Metek's fast track system met the demands of a complex refurbishment project in Birmingham city centre.
Metek frames were designed and installed in complex existing openings and used to create a new public house together with commercial facilities. Site surveys enabled accurate bespoke frames to be installed, thus ensuring the contractor met their tight deadline. Improvement of a large fashion retail store in Stoke-on-Trent allowed the versatility of the Metek system to be fully explored. The curved façade was achieved using light steel frames, formed in curved panels and supported with light steel flat plate.
Diagnostic and Treatment Centre
Using fast track, load bearing frames for the Diagnostic and Treatment Centre in Plymouth, the key decisions for choosing Metek were:
- Speed of construction - 10 week construction plan
- Load bearing capacity - the frames had to carry high service loads
- Fast track design enabling M&E service to be completed at design stage
- Fully assembled panels with a multitude of large service openings
- Direct responsibility for installation through in-house erection teams
