The Outcome
Hartigan was engaged early in the project, conducting inspections of the existing buildings and assessing the condition of the steelwork and concrete in the structural frames. The project was successfully completed, delivering 55 new accommodation units, and we are proud to have played a role in this prestigious development.
How we did it
Hartigan was involved in the project from an early stage, inspecting the existing buildings and identifying the condition of the existing steelwork and concrete of the structural frames. There was a need to remove some key elements and replace them with alternative structural elements to accommodate the layouts for the new apartments, lifts and stair cores. In addition, we designed and detailed new entrance lobbies, balconies, new fourth floor structure, mansard roof, below ground drainage. During the construction stage, we undertook inspections and assisted in resolving the main issues encountered on this type of refurbishment project.
The Challenge
The project faced several challenges, including integrating the structural frames from different construction phases into a single cohesive building while making significant structural modifications to suit its new purpose.
