Giz a SIP?
The second phase of Fleet’s redevelopment of a Grade II listed property in central Ramsgate is soon to gather pace. Having rectified extremely challenging ground conditions we spent a sunny day setting out the sole plates for the SIP (Structural Insulated Panels) envelope – a fast track construction system of pre-cut panels that slot together like a card model.
This is an exciting part of the programme – having worked with SIPs a number of times – we know that the building will now rapidly rise to reveal its final form in a matter of days. The weather tight envelope will allow numerous trades to operate simultaneously, condensing the construction period significantly.
