This development comprised the construction of a new 43,000 square metre production facility on a parcel of land in Rothley, Leicestershire. The structural form comprised vaulted steelwork portal frames integral within which were office and mezzanine accommodation. The topography of the site was such that to enable the development to be masked from the surrounding countryside significant ground remediation measures were required. This involved the remodelling of the existing ground profiles to establish 20 metre high protection bunds and mounds to the periphery of the site area. Environmental measures involved the establishment of soft landscaping and water features due to lack of surface water systems in the vicinity.

This prestigious development of 3 individual portal framed buildings was undertaken on a former local authority waste tip. Not withstanding deep areas of made ground access across the site, landfill gas production required the design and implementation of specialist protection measures together with groundwater contamination control which involved the introduction of a continuous Bentonite cut of wall to the periphery of the site. To control the variability in ground conditions and to reduce the effects of differential movement within the structural framework specialist piling and dynamic compaction measures were adapted to both the external and internal yard areas. Due to surcharging of the local surface water systems significant attenuation measures were incorporated within the scheme which involved vast areas of storage tanks being installed below car parking and hardstanding areas.

This development comprised the construction of a significant number of social housing units on a parcel of land situated on the Castle Vale Estate, Birmingham, a European funded regeneration scheme. Following the demolition of a number of high rise flats the area was zoned for development, however due to the site being located adjacent to an abandoned landfill, methane gas production necessitated the introduction of state of the art air wall facilities. Following a period of monitoring and satisfactory trial of the system, our civil engineers and the planners were happy to approve the development and our further involvement required input on the design and detailing of the structural and complex engineering elements.

A development of high quality offices on a former open cast mining site, which had been filled under the Telford Development Corporation Control. The site was acquired by Bovale Limited, a private developer who retained Stewart & Harris Limited as structural engineers, for all engineering aspects of the project

New build landmark building for Telford College. This project involved the simultaneous construction of a new 4 storey teaching block and sports academy building with our consulting engineers. These buildings comprise steel and concrete compositely designed elements analysed to the latest codes of practise and state of the art computer software in order to safely provide a framework which would provide both minimal and commercial section sizes.
