Work continues at Stratford’s RSC theatre with the latest additions to the multi million transformation arriving on specialist haulage with the assistance of three individual County Highways Authorities.
The two massive Precast panels produced by Thorpe Precast, each weighing 17 tonnes were finally craned into position on North & South face of the viewing towers ‘lantern’ on the 30th September 2009.
Each concrete panel is faced with Coleford Handmade bricks, replicating the bespoke blend used to create the tower. Indeed, the precast panels now appear ‘as one’ with the existing brickwork on site with new and old construction techniques blending seamlessly together. The panels were completely factory finished with all pointing and coping parapet details in place prior to installation.
