The Brackla MSCP consists of a five-storey structure comprising a reinforced concrete frame, reinforced concrete floors with precast concrete external parapet walls and two pedestrian access stairwells. The car park was constructed using a method known as ‘Lift Slab’ construction. This technique comprised the erection of reinforced concrete columns around which continuous reinforced concrete floor slabs were formed at ground level. Once set and in place the floor slabs were mechanically jacked up around the columns and wedges inserted to secure the slabs to columns. The slabs at all levels are profiled to provide integral ramp connections to each floor. Contract Terms and Conditions: NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract (April 2013) (the “NEC”), Option A.
