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.
