Fast rebar installation with BAMTEC® and advantages - Bouygues UK and Hy-Ten Reinforcing

Building with Precision: The Role of BAMTEC® Technology The Oriel Project features a state-of-the-art 42,000 m² reinforced concrete frame constructed using the BAMTEC® system in collaboration with Hy-Ten. This technology exemplifies modern engineering by streamlining installation and enhancing efficiency. Bouygues UK, the primary contractor, has harnessed the benefits of BAMTEC®, ensuring the project remains on target while enabling the swift commencement of subsequent phases, including façade work, internal trades, and mechanical and electrical installations. Katherine Round, Civil Works Engineer for the Oriel Project, remarked on the success of this collaboration: "Our collaborative approach allowed us to achieve our financial target. Bouygues UK will definitely be looking to collaborate again with Hy-Ten on appropriate projects in the future, as the positive outcomes are evident in cases where the system has been used." One of the project’s key successes has been the speed and efficiency of the BAMTEC® system. The prefabricated carpets, manufactured off-site, ensured precision and eliminated on-site quality issues. The system’s design reduced reliance on labour-intensive steel fixing, addressing challenges in sourcing skilled manpower and allowing faster installation without compromising quality. Hy-Ten’s adaptability to the project’s construction cycle facilitated seamless integration with Bouygues UK’s schedules, keeping the programme on track. Quality assurance has been another standout feature. The BAMTEC® system's prefabricated carpets maintained impeccable standards throughout the project’s lifecycle. With all design elements tailored to suit installation requirements, potential delays were minimised, ensuring that every component met the exacting standards of the project. The project also reflects a deep commitment to sustainability. It is targeting an “Excellent” BREEAM rating and incorporates innovative strategies to reduce embodied carbon. These include using recycled aggregates and a high proportion of cement replacement, showcasing how cutting-edge construction techniques can align with environmental responsibility. Collaboration as the Cornerstone Bouygues UK and Hy-Ten’s partnership exemplifies the power of collaboration. Having worked together on the Tower Hamlets Town Hall project, their relationship set the foundation for success on the Oriel project. Early engagement during the tender process and ongoing workshops fostered efficient communication and problem-solving, ensuring that challenges were addressed proactively. The Terrell Group, contributing their expertise to the reinforced concrete frame’s vibration strategy, ensured that the building met the exacting standards required for end-users and their sensitive equipment. This meticulous approach underlines the commitment to delivering a structure that is both robust and purpose driven. Bouygues UK, Hy-Ten, and all partners involved have demonstrated that a shared vision and collaboration are the keys to transforming ambitious ideas into reality.
