The six-head nuclear station at Avenmouth Port in the UK is one of the most complex concrete structures ever constructed in the UK. The highly resilient build required more than 155,000 steel bars to support a complicated cooling system, two nuclear reactors and safety designs that included considerations of a 1 in 10,000 seismic event.

ADDA Projects & Articles
Find out about some of the simple and complex global projects where ADDA has made a difference.
Traditional reinforcement for the construction of complex water tanks would be slow. ADDA identified a modular method of incorporating uni-directional prefabricated mats as the most efficient method to construct the reinforcing steel elements.
Circular reinforcing pattern presented significant challenges for manufacture and assembly of petroleum storage tanks. Prepared 2D and 3D concepts to help design engineers visualise the reinforcement layout, reduce waste, detect potential steel clashes, and produce detailed bar bending schedule and site marking plans.
Traditional in-situ formwork for a 60-level residential tower is slow. Identified time and cost savings in the early design stage by prefabricating 75 steel reinforced columns weighing 4.5 tonnes each.
The global modular construction industry is expected to grow by more than 6% in the coming years, and solutions like the ADDA suite of products are key to enabling this. Great chat between our Founder and CTO Alan Jeffreys and Peggy Smedley from Connected
