Decorative casings from Encasement for new National Memorial Arboretum building
decorative column casings, bulkheads and parapet capping from Encasement to conceal structural steelwork and enhance the building’s exterior for the thousands of visitors it receives each year. Designed by Glenn Howells Architects
A
(GHA), the ‘Aspects’ events building provides a permanent facility with flexible spaces at the Arboretum enabling a wide range of events to be held in the 2,500 sq.m building, which incorporates a banqueting kitchen, lounge area and configurations to host up to 500 people. Both the main entrance canopy and
the covered terrace area at the rear of the building are supported by 12 structural columns, each of which are concealed by 200mm square decorative casings from Encasement’s Forma range of metal casings. Standing 4,500mm high, the column
n £8.1 million events building at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, is using external
casings are manufactured from Alucobond®
,
an architectural composite that bonds an aluminium skin to a flame retardant or non- combustible core material to give a strong, lightweight and safe decorative solution. As the building makes extensive use of
glazing to provide panoramic views of the Arboretum site, Encasement also supplied a further eight Forma Alucobond ‘half-column’ casings to conceal the glazing system’s
external vertical supports to integrate with the building’s exterior design. To maintain a consistent exterior
finish, 20 Alucobond exterior bulkheads from Encasement’s ‘Vecta’ range were supplied by the company in sections along with a series of PPC coated aluminium parapet cappings.

Eurobrick update BIM & CAD information E
urobrick were first to introduce a comprehensively designed and tested brick slip cladding system to the UK in
the early 1990s - providing a fast, flexible and cost effective way to get the real look, feel and durability of brick and stone walling. Recently, Eurobrick has been working with online platforms to provide better quality digital content for people working with their systems, including architects and specifiers. Eurobrick already provide a number of
digital downloads on their website, including technical drawings, product and installation guides and certification for planning. They have now updated their offering through Bimstore and FastrackCAD. The online information library, Bimstore,
offers BIM (Building Information Modelling) information to the construction industry. BIM is a collaborative approach to projects that uses digital technologies to provide greater clarity and detail for the building as a whole and make planning more efficient. BIM allows you to embed asset data and a 3D model into plans to help manage and maintain assets throughout the project lifecycle. It is
now the required standard for many local authorities and is used by most major construction companies. Eurobrick’s information on Bimstore allows
users to input 3D models of their P-Clad and X-Clad systems, to produce 3D project installation details and from these, generate system quantities required – enabling Eurobrick to provide an accurate estimate for the project. From the 3D models of their building, users can generate photo realistic visuals using any of Eurobrick’s ranges of brick and stone blends, to get a clearer idea of how the final project would look. You can view Eurobrick’s BIM content at
www.bimstore.co/manufacturers/eurobrick. Eurobrick have also updated their
information on FastrackCAD, an architectural database that allows registered users to view or download free CAD files. These are simplified 2D versions of Eurobrick’s standard detail drawings, which can be input into working drawings to save time during planning. You can view Eurobrick’s CAD download on
www.fastrackcad.com in the brick slips and stone cladding section.
