JPP undertook the design and coordination of the civil and structural engineering design of the new sports hall and associated two storey offices and changing facilities for this Senior school. It was a scheme where JPP worked together with sister company WE Architects to deliver this scheme as Designers for the Contractor.
Challenges throughout the scheme included significant cut and fill requirements, with the sports hall located within an existing embankment; reducing the steelwork tonnage required by exploring a braced frame solution working with the end client team with regard to acceptable bracing locations; accommodation of a green roof system and; designing foundations for significant trees’ influence within shrinkable soils.
