Babraham Research Campus

Structural core system for world class academic research organisations.

Main Contractor

Hutton Construction

Client

University of Camridge

Situated in Cambridgeshire, additional campus buildings continued to be developed and this gave PCE Ltd the opportunity to once again demonstrate the effectiveness of their volumetric box structural core systems for multi-storey framed buildings.

PCE’s early involvement was with project manager, De Grey which led to the award of a contract by main contractor Hutton Construction to provide 3 core structures that provide the structural stability for a steel framed building.

The offsite factory production of the stair and lift shaft boxes ensured the critical internal dimensional accuracy was maintained within the tight tolerance requirements of the finished core structure.

Safety

The fast erection to full height of the cores enabled the subsequent frame contractor to progress their work without delays as well as a reduction in other operatives working on site at the same time thus giving an overall safer working environment.

Quality

BIM designed to ensure perfect fit during construction on site.
 

Speed

All three core structures constructed on site in 12 working days.
 

Value

Integration of PCE solution for the cores prior to steel frame construction to provide frame stability.
