Our role as structural engineers was pivotal in ensuring the building’s structural integrity throughout the complex transformation process.
Following a comprehensive site appraisal, our team undertook a detailed assessment of the building's existing structure, considering factors such as the age, materials, and condition of the building fabric. This in-depth analysis provided the foundation for the subsequent design phase.
Our structural design works focused on enabling the proposed changes to the building layout, including the removal of internal walls to create open-plan living spaces. We carefully considered the implications of these alterations on the building's structural stability, ensuring that the proposed changes would not compromise the overall integrity of the building.
Additionally, we addressed the crucial aspect of drainage, designing solutions to manage water runoff effectively and prevent potential structural damage. Our work on the Woolpack Inn project is a testament to our ability to balance the preservation of a building's heritage with the demands of modern living, creating a solid foundation for the new residential units.
