Liquid concrete for staircase
24.06.2019
In large construction projects, construction workers often concrete the stairwell core first. Carpenters then mount the prefabricated wooden components on it. Timbatec reversed this sequence during the construction of Lokstadt in Winterthur. The wooden structure is erected, then liquid concrete is filled in. This saves time and money.
