Abstract
New, fast-track factory and offices for Cummins Engine Company in Kent, designed for flexibility. Steel structure comprises tree-like columns with cantilever arms supporting the roof. Concrete ground-bearing slab was laid using large bay techniques and laser screeding technology; a cement-based, dry-shake topping was applied and polished as a finish. Natural ventilation and smoke control are assisted by roof vents. Office area has full height glazing, with fire screen separating it from the factory. Working details of tree columns.
