Wednesday, 6th November 2013, 2.00pm - Visit – Explore Manufacturing, Explore Industrial Park (off A619), Steetley, Worksop. S80 3FD


This will be an afternoon visit to Laing O’Rourkes’s state-of-the-art precast concrete manufacturing facility, where an impressive range of building and civil engineering components are produced in a highly automated production process. Special finishes and coloured concretes are widely used to produce aesthetically attractive surfaces, and cladding panels incorporating insulation are used to minimise construction activities on site. The emphasis is at Explore is on productivity, build quality, pre-assembly and modular solutions.

There are plenty of places on this visit but they will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Names, together with shoe and jacket size (S, M, L or XL), to the Secretary by 10th October please.
