Circular Building Demonstrates Sustainable Construction

Arup's steel-framed prototype building demonstrates the viability of a circular economy within the construction industry. The structure known as the Circular Building has been engineered and delivered with components and materials that can be reused, re-manufactured or recycled.

Arup asked Lindapter to design and supply a connection system to secure the Circular Building's roof panels, wall panels, and glazing supports to the structural frame. Engineers from Lindapter's Engineering guidance and support Team designed a bespoke connection solution using the CE Marked Type B steelwork clamp, which enabled the contractor to quickly align and install the eco-board panels into position before tightening with standard hand tools.

Further to the connection design facilitating the efficient on-site installation of the panels and glazing elements, the clamps can be easily removed during deconstruction. Lindapter's connection method was particularly appropriate for this project because of Lindapter's synergy with the principles of the circular economy, for example, Products from Lindapter provide flexibility, longevity, ease of deconstruction and the potential to reuse or recycle.
