I worked on many
large projects primarily in structural steel and
precast concrete such as aircraft hangars, multi-storey apartment blocks, cinema complexes and more.
Concrete upper floors are typically hollowcore;
precast slabs are craned into place on top of blockwork, but because Whiriskey wanted an open plan layout downstairs, that approach would have involved
large amounts of structural steel in the slabs, which in turn would have had a major impact on cost.
