Site Visit: Bristol Road

The new development at Bristol road shows load bearing precast concrete panels with steel roofing. We can see in the photo's the 'C' purlins running parallel to the rafter, as well at the cross bracing.
Because this is only a small residential construction access to the roof structure is far easier. You see the machine that allows access to the roofing structure.

I like this photo because it articulates the connection between the concrete panel and the rafter. You can also see the supports that temporarily hold the precast concrete in place.
