The Grange School, Runcorn is a new generation “all through” school constructed between 2012-2013 as part of the governments Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.
The architectural concept for the school was to create a central entrance area or hub with four spokes radiating outward. The four spokes would house secondary, junior, infant and nursery pupils aged 3-16 years. Clearly the hub would form the visual focal point of the building and was designed to reflect it’s importance as the centre of school activity.
This involved the use of glass reinforced concrete cladding in 600mm wide modules each with a concaved faced and tapered flange return allowing the panels to curve around the hub’s radius. The selection of GRC allowed the architects to benefit from the solidity of architectural precast concrete whilst eliminating the consequential weight of deep solid concrete cladding.
Soon after appointment the main contractor involved GRCUK and joint venture partners Irvine Whitlock to develop the GRC concept. In order to reduce installation costs panels were rationalised into 600, 1200 and 1800mm widths, the larger panels being curved on plan, effectively creating a double curvature within the element. These were manufactured in resin moulds fabricated in GRCUK’s main pattern and mould shop.
The building was completed on schedule in Spring 2013 with all concerned delighted with the finished appearance.

As a result of our very successful you tube channel: Great-Escape we are constantly contacted by people both in the US and other countries such as Australia, New Zealand and the rest of Europe about advice on how to purchase an RV similar to the one that we purchased a couple of years ago.
So the purpose of this guide is to help those people who are considering purchasing an American RV, which let’s face it is a major high-value purchase. After extensive research there seems to be a real lack of solid advice, especially if you are considering this purchases as a non US citizen.
In this guide we explain what is involved in “matter of fact” language, and armed with this advice you stand a fighting chance of not being ripped off by the ever hungry sales people who are praying on the uninformed.
I was going to start by saying “I wouldn’t say I was an expert” but after RVing for 12 years across most of Europe and more recently the USA, it is clearly obvious that there are an awful lot of people out there who need to know how to go about buying, registering, insuring, driving, maintaining and storing their RV, and I think passing on our experiences over those years could be of invaluable help.
So the purpose of this guide is to shed some light on these subjects and hopefully make the path to doing all of the above a lot easier.
This guide does not cover every aspect of RVing as this is a very large subject and there are too many variables.
There is absolutely no doubt in the fact that there are few important things in a business but each and every person must have. Technology has taken over the world and the businesses definitely cannot do without it. This is one reason why there are various technical devices used at http://ohselina20.blogspot.rs/2018/05/usb-in-unique-design-choose-wisely.html
