Dandara’s Milton Keynes development employs significant precast concrete installation.
- Vinci subsidiary Roger Bullivant Limited leads installation of 10,000 meters of RBeam concrete.
- RBeam and driven piles bolster 285 plots across three development phases.
- Piling depths range from six to 10 meters into underlying clays.
- Off-site RBeam manufacture expedites construction, enhancing safety and quality.
In Milton Keynes, the housing developer Dandara has embarked on a substantial undertaking involving the installation of precast foundations. The project is spearheaded by Roger Bullivant Limited, a subsidiary of Vinci, which is responsible for laying an impressive 10,000 linear meters of RBeam concrete, alongside 2,100 driven precast concrete piles. These foundational elements are designed to support 285 housing plots, spread across three phases of the development.
The scope of the project extends to the installation of driven precast concrete piles, meticulously embedded at depths ranging from six to 10 meters into underlying clay strata. This method is pivotal in ensuring the structural integrity and stability of the constructions, marking a significant advancement in the precision and reliability of foundational works.
The utilisation of RBeam concrete beams, manufactured off-site, is a noteworthy aspect of this project, cited for its role in accelerating site work. This off-site production is not merely a matter of convenience; it substantively contributes to improving the overall quality and safety of the construction process. Roger Bullivant Limited emphasises that whether these beams are applied in modular or traditional construction contexts, they facilitate expedited building programmes without sacrificing structural integrity.
From inception in April, Roger Bullivant Limited’s mobilisation on site heralds a strategic approach to construction that is both innovative and efficient. The completion of this extensive groundwork is anticipated by the year’s end, showcasing a blend of advanced engineering techniques and practical execution on a grand scale.
The Dandara project in Milton Keynes exemplifies the forward-thinking integration of precast technology to enhance construction efficacy and safety.
