Introduction

This document sets out the designers aspiration for the fair-
faced, in situ concrete walls that act as both primary structure
and external/ internal finish in the redevelopment of Edward
Edwards House.
The project is a family of buildings, 3 office towers, 2 private
residential towers and a 50 bed almshouse with supporting
facilities.
This ITT is intended to describe:
1. The scope of the in situ, fair-faced concrete within the
project
2. The desired aesthetic
3. The detail of particular junctions within the scheme
4. Expectations in terms of workmanship and quality

The towers, which finance the redevelopment,are lightweight

and ethereal in appearance and sit, delicately on a
robust, permanent and heavy, in situ concrete base that
accommodates the almshouse and its facilities. The intention
is to give the almshouse a feeling of permanence, befitting
its 300 year history on the site, and to think of the residents AXo/ ISO showing extent of
accommodation which cuts through the site, as a layer of concrete in scheme
geology that underpins the mixed use program.

MISAPOR, a Swiss concrete product, has been chosen to be

used in core insulating system that allows fair-faced, insulating
and load-bearing in situ concrete walls to be created from a
ie. base on which towers sit
single cast. Horizontal surfaces are generally not constructed
with MISAPOR concrete due to the reduced compressive
strength and the expense of the material. For horizontal
surfaces and walls that do not require expressed fair-faced
concrete appearance (ie. cores) a combination of normal
concrete and insulation is cheaper and more effective. This
ITT relates to the fair-faced, in situ concrete walls only.

100% MISAPOR foam glass is used as an aggregate within

the concrete, providing its thermal qualities. The product is
made from mostly recycled glass will reduce long term heating
costs - 2 environmental benefits. The whole wall can come
for a single contractor, saving time and money and careful
detailing can eliminate thermal bridges entirely from the
finished walls. MISAPOR concrete is deemed to be watertight,
for unpressurised water and the frost resistance of MISAPOR
concrete is provided by the use of foam glass granulate and
the concreteconcept with artificially added air. Moreover the
voids in the concrete surface do not result in spalling, since
they do not constitute a closed pore volume and thus do not
build up any pressure from frozen water.

The MISAPOR will be used for fair faced external walls, in

conjunction with conventional concrete for floors and ceilings.

The surface of the MISAPOR concrete can be finished in the

same manner as conventional concrete. A combination of
pigmenting, formwork and surface refinement will be used in
this project. Cutaway isonometric of core insulating Misapor wall

Statement of Architectural Finishes
This document has been prepared as an
addendum to the architectural specification, it is
intended to provide additional information on the
architectural finishes.
This document does not provide complete
specification information and should be read in
conjunction with the following documents:
- Civil & Structural Engineering Requirements and drawings.
- Clauses E10 and E20 Architects Specification
General notes on concrete specification
Introduction to Aesthetic Appearance of fair-faced in situ
concrete:
The intentions for the concrete specified for Edward Edwards
House is to create a red, pigmented concrete with a high
quality, fair faced surface, both internally and externally, that
can be varied with combination of formworks and technical
treatments (exposing grains of aggregate). The concrete is
intended to have a consistent warm red/pink body, achieved
by pigmenting
Concrete Mix (E10):
The specification given complies with specific requirement for
MISAPOR BENTON insulating concrete, the chosen product
for the in situ concrete work outlined in this ITT.
Cement:
CEM I (plus fly ash)
Portland Cement - mix of different batches/sources to prevent
colour banding between pours
Cement Replacement:
GGBS to be meet Type IIIA cement combination
requirements set out in the specification for
Highways Works. With the intention to develop a
warmer creamier concrete colour.
Sands:
None required in MISAPOR Insulating Concrete.
Aggregates:
Light weight aggregate 100 % MISAPOR foam glass gravel
(SGB certified). Production according to recommendation of
MISAPOR Beton AG.
Size: Graded aggregates conforming to the grading
requirements of BS EN 12620. 4-20mm with the intention
of ensuring an even mix of fine and larger
aggregates to guarantee a blend with minumum voids and
optimum compactability.
Shape: irregular
Colour: Off White,
Free of pyrites and sulphide contents within
appropriate limits.
Aggregates must be of consistent colour, free from absorbent
particles which may cause popping and other particles such
as coal and iron sulphide which may be unsightly or cause
unacceptable staining.
Obtain from one source (MISAPOR AG only - submit propos-
als for alternatives), and ensure that adequate supplies can be
maintained throughout the contract. MISAPOR is a Swiss com-
pany so arrangements must be made to source the material,
with lead times accommodated within construction program.
Use of Sand blasting:
It is expected that a pressurised blaster will be used of suitable
pressure to cut to the desired depth of finish. The concrete
matrix will be easier to cut in the first 24 to 72 hours after
casting. When blasting a surface, the operator should hold the
nozzle perpendicular to the surface and about 2 feet away.
The exact distance depends on the pressure being used, the
hardness of the concrete matrix, and the cutting ability of the
abrasive. Collect waste sand and debris from the process and
dispose off site. Appropriate protective clothing must be worn.
Use of Release Agents and Retarders:
Waste water must be properly collected and disposed of off
site and not allowed to discharge into mains drainage systems.
Appropriate protective clothing must be worn.
Samples
Small sample panels, 0.5x0.5m should be
developed first to explore an appropriate concrete mix for
each of the 3 fair-faced, vertical finishes, aiming for colour
consistency across the 3 types of surface. These should be
submitted for approval.
Following the development of an appropriate mix larger sam-
ples should be constructed which demonstrate the required
(lack of) construction joints, arrises and fair faced
surfaces.
