Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel with 15 storeys and an overall height of 47.60 m is currently under construction directly adjacent to Terminal 2 at London's Heathrow Airport. Whilst the first three storeys were constructed using the cast-in-situ method, the remaining 12 storeys will be erected using exclusively precast concrete elements. The prestressed hollow core slabs, precast walls and further precast concrete elements are being designed, manufactured and assembled by the O’Reilly Concrete Group from Ireland. For the assembly of the outer wall elements the company is using for the first time BT turnbuckles from B.T. innovation of Magdeburg, Germany.
