Upton Flats

SECTOR: Residential
PROJECT VALUE: £6m

Project Summary

JPP Consulting

Initial concept design for a terraced block of 4 / 5 storey flats included a structural steel frame built of piled ground beam foundations with masonry infill panels.

We were invited by a ‘Design and Build’ contractor to evaluate the structural concept and offer alternatives, which would bring cost savings. Following our appraisal the solution of a loadbearing masonry superstructure supporting precast concrete flooring panels, built of mass concrete trench fill foundations brought significant cost savings leading to the contract being awarded to our client.

A major consideration in the design of the external masonry panels was in respect of the window fenestration. In all respects our design input assisted in achieving an ‘excellent’ BREEAM rating.

JPP GEOTECHNICAL

For any project big or small, #nationwide, we are able to provide a phased approach to our #GroundInvestigations.

Our desk studies help inform future investigation works so that intrusive on-site investigations can be tailored to suit site specific issues that may exist. We are able to carry out in-situ testing and on-site sampling to allow detailed laboratory testing to be completed. We then use the results to determine #engineering properties and stability of the soils to allow us to evaluate various #geotechnical aspects such as foundation, pavement, basement as well as design parameters, soil infiltration rates, depth and location of desiccated soils.
