This exciting R&D project is funded by the Department of Energy and Climate Change and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, through Innovate UK.
The project will develop the very latest in second generation SC (steel-concrete) modular construction - the STEEL BRICKSTM - through realistic scale fabrication and construction trials.
It will address all the key operations including:-
- plate folding
- welding of units together
- lifting of panels
- stability during erection
- setting out, alignment and manipulation
- joints between panels
- connection to reinforced concrete foundations
- concrete mixes and placement
- construction joints
- QA/inspection techniques.
