Martial arts facility: steel frame and a panel envelope

Martial arts facility: steel frame and a panel envelope — the project's main photograph

A small progress set from a large drum-shaped hall going up on a steel frame. The photographs show primary columns and braced bays, with insulated sandwich wall panels being installed between them.

The hardest part shows up in two frames: a long curved composite fascia section, carried by hand and offered up into position around the drum, plus the work from a boom lift to close the joint at the top.

Inside, red fire-fighting pipework drops down an already-finished panel wall. This is a record of work in progress, not photography of a finished building.
