Introduction to the system

 
Scape has recently undertaken a major review of its technology. Significant developments have taken place to ensure that buildings when constructed using the Scape technology meet all the current regulations.  This work is an ongoing process.
 
The Scape technology is based on a semi rigid raft foundation.
  • The steel frame is lightweight and designed to provide the maximum flexibility in the initial design and future refurbishments.
  • The standard roof shapes within the system include pitched to take tiles or sheets, curved and flat.
  • External walls are masonry, composite panels and a panel which is masonry faced.  Windows are based on the Kawneer range of products.
  • The upper floor is cast insitu concrete on steel deck
  • Internally the partitions use plasterboard which provide the required sound performance to meet the requirements of BB93.
  • The Scape technology works around a 100mm internal grid. The structural grid is 1.8m.
  • Curved on plan module
Scape Technology has an LABC Type Approval for buildings designed and constructed using the standard technology.

Future technical developments include
  • Zero carbon model designs
  • More panelled external walls
  • Increased use of manufactured solutions
  • The integration of services into the fabric design.
