As one of the leading steel framing systems innovators, with over 11 years expertise across all construction sectors - EOS Facades' expansion programme continues with a major extension to the company's advanced offsite manufacturing facility and the development of a new fabrication plant.
In addition to the five Howick steel framing machines currently in operation, to further expand the manufacturer's product portfolio and capacity, EOS have invested in a new multiwidth (boxer) machine and installed overhead cranes for lifting and moving frames and steel coils around the extended facility.
This work has been undertaken in preparation for the increased workload with the development of a complete walling solution and load-bearing panelised system to support offsite initiatives.
EOS Facades run accredited CPD Factory Tours for architects, contractors, engineers and clients at the company's advanced manufacturing facility in County Durham. Hosted by the EOS Technical Team together with the Etex Building Performance specification team, the tours are completely free to attend.
The tours include a presentation by the estimating team on how the EOS ‘lump sum' quote is generated, a demonstration of EOS Facades' design software, followed by a tour of the factory and demonstrations of the Howick and the new multiwidth (boxer) machines. The tour features quality control procedures, labelling, floor coding and traceability processes and includes examples of the innovative Thruwall system types.
Following the tour, the EOS technical team present a CPD session covering a variety of topics relating to this technology plus examples of best practice applications and project examples. This will be the first opportunity to see EOS Facades' expanded operation.
