HIT is winning appreciation on projects from the south coast to the middle of Glasgow

Brickwork supports, restraints and facade systems
Designed by architects Squire & Partners with Eastwood & Partners as structural engineers, the block of apartments is part of the Barratt (East London) Ltd’s Royal Victoria Docks development in London’s Docklands.
Hailed as the biggest retail project in the history of Norwich, the Chapelfi eld Shopping Centre has an impressive stone clad entrance on St Stephen’s Arcade achieved using Halfen’s SUK system, which provided the fl exibility required to fi x back to a variable primary structure consisting of Holorib decking, steel members and blockwork.
Samba gold granite cladding panels have been secured around the lift shafts at the centre of the terminal building at the new Robin Hood Airport, Doncaster by means of Halfen’s SUK system.
A development for Landmark Securities, Trafalgar Court, Guernsey, has been constructed by R.G. Falla using twin-leaf block walls along with cut and polished
granite cladding. The double skin block wall construction was adopted to provide a fast track wind and watertight building prior to the application of 40 mm thick cladding.
Sunlight Projects achieved a stunning façade to their building in Tower Bridge Road, London with the aid of Halfen’s UKB stone support system.
Halfen body anchors and a version of their SUK stonework support system have been used to secure marble cladding including the club crest at Arsenal football club’s new Emirates stadium.
When asked to design the new showrooms and garage for Rylands Mercedes Benz in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Pocklington Steel Structures chose to specify Halfen’s Detan tension rod system. With the benefi t of being both decorative and functional, Detan fulfullied the brief for this prestigious showroom.
Waanger Biro, working with structural engineers Connel Mott MaDonald, detailed and
installed the 720 tonne roof using some €85,000 worth of Detan tension rod system in
the process.
