Lindapter’s steel clamping systems were specified by Arup for a steel-framed prototype building that demonstrates the viability of a circular economy within the construction industry. The structure known as the Circular Building has been designed and delivered with components and materials that can be reused, remanufactured or recycled.
Arup asked Lindapter to design and supply a connection system to secure the Circular Building’s roof panels, wall panels, and glazing supports to the structural frame. One of the engineers from Lindapter’s Technical Support Team designed a bespoke connection solution using the CE Marked Type B steelwork clamp, which allowed the contractor to quickly align and install the eco-board panels into position before tightening with standard hand tools.
Further to the
connection design facilitating the rapid installation of the panels
and glazing elements, the clamps can be easily removed during
deconstruction. Lindapter's connection method was particularly
appropriate for this project due to Lindapter’s synergy with the
principles of the circular economy, for example, Lindapter’s
products provide flexibility, longevity, ease of deconstruction and
the potential to reuse or recycle.
