The cassettes were manufactured offsite in Thomas Armstrong’s production facility, ensuring quality and minimising waste on site. The rafters included a large central chase opening, which combined with the void created by the metal webs to allow for a variety of services to be routed through the rafters with ease. Posi-Rafters were chosen for the scheme due to the large spans required and for the ease of installation. Designers can work on the project in cassette mode or standard mode to ensure accuracy and decking/sheathing can be drawn and scheduled accurately. Posi-Joists or Rafters can be allocated to cassettes for factory output and scheduling, then clear drawings can be produced to go to site with the delivery. PAMIR includes impressive cassette tools for Posi-Joist floors and these were used to good effect to detail the roof cassettes on this project.
