Riverside Quarter, Wandsworth

We conducted a comprehensive load assessment of the building, meticulously developing 'as-built' loading plans. This process included a thorough evaluation of the temporary loads imposed by MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms), hoists, and scaffolding, ensuring structural integrity and safety throughout the project.

John Radcliff Hospital

Our team expertly carried out a detailed analysis of the building's load-bearing capacity, crafting precise 'as-built' loading plans. This thorough examination included assessing the impact of temporary loads brought on by MEWPs, hoists, and scaffolding. We also integrated a rigorous validation of the Steel Framing System (SFS), ensuring the overall structural stability and safety of the building in our comprehensive approach.

Topaz Estate, Hounslow

Our expert team undertook an in-depth evaluation of the building's load-bearing capabilities, carefully creating detailed 'as-built' loading plans. This extensive analysis covered the assessment of temporary loads due to MEWPs, hoists, and scaffolding. We also performed a meticulous Wind Load Assessment to understand the effects of wind pressures on the structure. Furthermore, our approach incorporated a comprehensive validation of the Steel Framing System (SFS), ensuring the building's overall structural integrity and safety from various essential perspectives.

Tribes Apartment, Manchester

In our detailed examination, we focused on the building's load capacity, skillfully developing precise 'as-built' loading plans. This analysis included scrutinizing the impact of temporary loads from MEWPs, hoists, and scaffolding. To complement this, we carried out an extensive Wind Load Assessment, determining the influence of wind forces on the building's structure. Additionally, our procedure involved a thorough validation of the Steel Framing System (SFS), reinforcing the building's overall structural robustness and ensuring its safety from a multitude of critical angles.

Queensland Road Apartments

Our comprehensive evaluation included a multifaceted approach, focusing on the building's load capacity and the strategic development of detailed 'as-built' loading plans. This in-depth analysis involved a rigorous assessment of the impact of temporary loads from MEWPs, hoists, and scaffolding. A key component of our methodology was the implementation of a detailed Wind Load Assessment, crucial for understanding the effects of wind forces on the building's structure.

In addition to these assessments, we incorporated advanced LIDAR Survey technology to accurately map and analyse the building's features and dimensions, providing a high-resolution, three-dimensional representation crucial for precision in planning and execution.

Furthermore, our services extended to the meticulous validation of the Steel Framing System (SFS), ensuring the building's structural integrity. We also paid special attention to the design and placement of scaffolding, including the integration of spreader details to distribute loads evenly and maintain stability, thereby enhancing the overall safety and operational efficiency of the project.

Mosaic Estate, Charrington Place, St Albans

Our extensive analysis of the building's load capacity encompassed a thorough approach, focusing on crafting detailed 'as-built' loading plans. This process involved a meticulous evaluation of the impact of temporary loads from MEWPs, hoists, and scaffolding. Central to our assessment was the Wind Load Assessment, a critical step in understanding the effects of wind forces on the building's structure.

Additionally, we conducted a comprehensive validation of the Steel Framing System (SFS), ensuring the structural integrity and robustness of the building. This validation process is crucial in maintaining the safety and stability of the structure, especially in the context of added external loads and environmental factors.

Our approach prioritized precision and safety, ensuring that every aspect of the building's load-bearing capabilities was thoroughly examined and addressed.
