Abstract:
Working in a tight three-sided courtyard location within two metres of existing walls, while minimising noise, dust, and other disturbance which could have affected the recuperation of neurological patients housed in adjoining wards, and simultaneously co-ordinating its work with that of another contractor undertaking a separate, major building project extremely close by, were among the challenges successfully met by MTX Contracts during its recent completion of a new, modular three-storey extension to The Walton Centre in Liverpool. The Centre is a field-leading facility for neurological and neurosurgical treatment.

Steel Fastening Techniques
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
Bolting is another...
