economic options to help clients ensure the solution fits their design requirements .
People centred approach
A popular technique that Hampsey employs is slip form concrete pouring . Traditionally used to construct large storage silos and other industrial installations , the method is increasingly being utilised in high-rise construction for service cores . The technique offers particular advantages , such as up to 80 percent time savings time saving in terms of floor cycles . Although the initial set up can be labour intensive , slip form requires less labour over the course of a project , leading to significant cost reductions . With rigs being enclosed by monoflex , slip form is also one of the safest methods of construction , providing workers with a safe environment by preventing an operative , as well as any objects , falling from the rig .
Another area of specialism for Hampsey is post tension constructions . Structures made using this technique offer many advantages over traditional reinforced concrete methods , as their design allows the steel reinforcing bar normally present in a structure to be replaced with post tensioned strand . The shape of the strand laid within the slab enables compressive stress to be introduced into areas where tensile stresses develop under load . This results in a reduction in the amount of reinforcement required , as well as minimising the amount of cracking that occurs in the concrete .
Having reviewed its operations and capabilities , it is clear that Hampsey ’ s evolution has been the result of a willingness to embrace new approaches and take on challenging projects . However , a major part of Hampsey ’ s continued success emanates from its community and people centred approach . The company is dedicated to supporting its employees and maintains an active relationship with broader community by supporting several initiatives , such as local football teams like the Heysham Blue Stars under 13 team . Creating a workplace and environment that is supportive and enjoyable
is a critical factor for standing out from the competition , particularly considering the skills shortage facing the UK ’ s construction sector .
With multiple projects approaching completion and many more in the pipeline , the company ’ s growth shows no sign of slowing . Hampsey has built its steadfast reputation and solid client relationships through the delivery of complex projects in an efficient , high quality , and cost-effective manner . Its highly skilled and experienced technical workforce supports clients through every stage of the construction process . Working across a range of sectors throughout the UK including energy , highways , rail , and civil engineering , Hampsey has developed the necessary resources to overcome even the most challenging projects . ■
