Laing O'Rourke's design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) facility will supply 68,000m² of low-carbon concrete planks for a new 36-storey office development at 50 Fenchurch Street in London, where Multiplex is main contractor.
Explore Manufacturing's appointment follows a prior one-year pre-construction services agreement.
