PERFORATED FACADE DECORATES
INNOVATIVE SCHOOL BUILDING
When constructing Kalvebod Fælled School, the objective was
to create a balanced atmosphere of school and leisure time
for both children and adults, with the focus on learning and
activities. This ambition has been achieved by a stunning circular
construction with a gymnasium at the heart of the building.
The glistening facade encapsulating the building is made from
1200 m2 of perforated sheets from RMIG. The perforation gives
a flow of light and shadow, providing protection from the sun, yet
still ensuring a view of the beautiful surrounding areas.

FAILED ARCHES AT
LISTED BREWERY
The 170 year old, Grade ll listed, Hook Norton Brewery in
Oxfordshire, was suffering from internal and external cracking
due to the failure of 15 brick arches. This was caused by the
decay of internal timbers and movement of the surrounding
brickwork.
HeliBars were bonded into mortar beds above each opening,
on both the interior and exterior walls, forming masonry beams
that reinforced the brickwork, supported the wall above and
spread the loads. Other cracks were stitched using single
HeliBars bonded across the cracks.
