CULTURE SHIFT

This is a must-attend event for anyone that wants to have their finger on the pulse of all things construction.”

The Sustainability Hub will include sessions looking at best practice in low carbon building and retrofit from Europe, regenerative design and biomimicry, hydrogen innovation, 3D printing, waste issues and building for disassembly.

The Offsite Alliance Hub will share the learning from Alliance members who work alongside leading organisations, industry bodies, government, local authorities and housing associations to increase the uptake and delivery of offsite technologies across the residential sector.

UKCW, supported by sponsors including COINS, CEMEX, Aico, Northgate Vehicle Hire and Bosch, will bring a host of new products, innovations, and business and networking opportunities, and will run alongside co-located events Concrete Expo (3-4 May), the Offsite Show with Buildoffsite, (3-5 May), and Grand Designs Live (30 April-8 May).

UKCW’s Role Models awards campaign also returns for its fourth year after receiving a record number of nominees last year. An opportunity to recognise talented professionals across all areas of construction. Entries are now open and will close on 25 February.

JACKON BUILDING SYSTEMS SHOW THE FUTURE OF HOUSEBUILDING AT UKCW

Stand: D32

JACKON’s two construction systems - JACKODUR® Atlas and THERMOMUR® Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) – will be on display on the company’s stand at UK Construction Week.

These products exceed the u-value targets of the new Part L building regs which are coming into effect in June this year. JACKON’s THERMOMUR® 350 Super block is the most energy efficient building system currently available. It has a U-value of 0.15 straight out of the box, ahead of the required maximum of 0.16 U-value on external walls - part of the requirement that new homes emit 31% less CO2 under the new Part L.

JACKON brings its 60 years’ expertise in EPS (moulded expanded polystyrene) and XPS (extruded polystyrene) manufacturing to the market. JACKODUR® ATLAS uses XPS (extruded polystyrene) to create an insulated floor slab, while THERMOMUR® ICF uses EPS (moulded expanded polystyrene) to create the formwork. ICF is a modern construction method, which is rapidly growing in popularity in the UK. It integrates insulation materials into the concrete formwork, totally revolutionising the way a house is constructed.
