Basements
As with commercial basements, using BenexBlock™ has many advantages in waterproofing and reduced excavation costs. It also is mandatory in basements to have car park exhaust systems. Using BenexBlock™ either integrated with exterior BenexBlock™ or with drill piers and shotcrete will allow the construction of plenums at less cost than metal ductwork. Clever design will also allow services (plumbing, electrical, fire, etc) to be run within the plenum, thus freeing up basement space and enabling the reduction in floor to floor heights, further saving on overall excavating costs.
Party Wall Construction
BenexBlock™ H600 composite wall type A1 will achieve RW + C+R 50.
The type A1 wall detail has a wall width minimum of 300mm. For high- rise and quality apartments with full concrete slabs and columns, the column width minimum is typically 300mm, a width which ideally suits the Benex type A1 composite wall. It also provides a quality finish with either a render finish to one side or direct stick gyprock. We have developed a suite of typical details which can been seen here. |
