The Outcome
Following demolition of the boiler house, Hartigan were appointed as Consultant Civil and Structural Engineers for the development.
How we did it
Hartigan’s duties included the procurement of geotechnical and geo-environmental site investigations, the production of interpretative geotechnical reports, below ground drainage design, together with design for the new structure. The heavily glazed colonnade to the east façade of the building, led to an innovative concrete framed design of the structure.
The Challenge
Challenges faced on site during construction included the presence of a substantial foundation to the existing chimney stack to the boiler house. This required the pile and ground beam sub-structure to be carefully designed to avoid the need to break out this structure.
