This project comprised interior and exterior concrete surfaces.

Indoors, a 13,880m², 165mm thick, 35MPa slab was built in bays up to 40m long, and reinforced using 40kg of Novocon 50mm steel fibre. The joints were then dowelled and armoured, and the entire surface was finished with Ashford Formula to harden, gloss and dustproof it.

Outside, we built a 160mm thick, 3000m² joint-free canopy, using 40kg of Novocon steel fibre and 35MPa concrete. We also created a yard of 150mm thick, steel-fibre-reinforced concrete, which features sawn joints at 5m centres and armoured free joints at roughly 30m
