Overview
The project involved transforming a greenfield plot into an operational industrial site approved for car sales and maintenance. The scheme included the construction of:
- A new industrial portal frame building approximately 36m x 13m, with bays at 5.5m centres.
- An ancillary wash bay and associated external works.
- Site access and finished levels optimized to minimize earthworks.
- A gabion retaining wall along the front boundary to accommodate level changes.
Our Role
We provided a complete civil and structural design package, including:
- Structural design of the portal frame building with lightweight cold-rolled cladding rails and purlins.
- Vertical bracing bays for lateral stability at key points.
- Isolated pad and strip foundations, designed per recommendations from the ground investigation report.
- External works detailing to ensure efficient site drainage, access, and level transitions.
