Schöck meets high load cantilever walkway challenge
timber clad and vary from three to six storeys of structural concrete frame. Long cantilever walk- ways service multiple flats and the unusual design demands of these walkways presented a technical challenge for Schöck, who supplied the structural thermal breaks. Schöck faced an unusual technical challenge
K
concerning the cantilever walkways as the design required as much natural light as possible. To meet this demand, extensive light wells are intro- duced at regular intervals along the length of the galleries – effectively a series of elongated spaces, separating the walkways from the building for large sections. So there are far fewer structural connection points between the walkways and the building than would normally be anticipated. The walkways are cantilever concrete construc-
tion into internal reinforced concrete frame. The Schöck structural thermal breaks had to resist a much greater shear load than would be the case with a more conventional design. Schöck resolved the various performance issues
idwells Estate at Maidenhead, is undergoing major regeneration involv- ing seven new blocks, which are part
by designing in its type HPC Isokorb. It is a product utilised only if horizontal, tension and compression forces are present in the design – and it is necessary to integrate the type QP90+QP90 Isokorb as well, for linear or point connection to support high shear loads. The result was a completely secure thermally insulated load-bearing connection at all the restricted, but key structural points.
The Schöck Isokorb range provides BBA
Certification, LABC Registration and meets full compliance with the relevant UK build- ing regulations.
