Citizens’ Participation Centre in Alcantarilla

Challenge

• To guarantee the stability of the façade walls where the walls were designed on a sloping plane, owing to which the respective component of the weight to the action of wind needed to be considered.

Solution

The use of Geoanc® fixings which, because of their strength, are suitable to cater to the increases in stresses conferred by the extra weight.

This product, in conjunction with the increased resistance to bending provided by the bed joint reinforcement, meant that the sloping façade could be built, not only towards the inside the building, but also outwards.
