We are proud to share our work on a 4,000 m² commercial development for Merrychef Ltd, doubling production capacity on a challenging brownfield site. Appointed through RIBA Stages 2-6, we delivered a turnkey package of civil, structural, and infrastructure services. Our work included waste classification of historic spoil stockpiles, geotechnical investigations, and bulk earthworks modelling to deliver an economical level strategy. Early collaboration with Network Rail and the Lead Local Flood Authority ensured delivery of effective drainage strategies, culvert repairs, and detailed flood risk assessments. Our structural engineers specified cost-effective ground-bearing slabs, reinforced pad foundations, and a twin bay steel portal frame, achieving spans of 32m. We reconfigured service yards to maintain operations during construction, and adhered to the UK National BIM Framework (Level 2) for design coordination, using a Common Data Environment and Autodesk Construction Cloud for clash detection. This project highlights our ability to deliver high-quality, integrated designs within the commercial sector. 🏗

Planning has recently been approved to transform The Priory Centre, Worksop into vibrant, accessible community spaces, with key elements including a pedestrian footbridge over the Chesterfield Canal to improve connectivity with nearby residential areas, as well as repurposing parts of the existing retail space into leisure and adventure facilities. Planned demolition of an existing retail block makes way for a new leisure extension that will house indoor bowling and crazy golf, all within a large, open, steel-framed space designed to accommodate uninterrupted spans for recreation without the obstruction of internal columns. Beyond enhancing leisure amenities, the Priory Centre renovation also focuses on creating an inclusive, multi-functional food market. This market will be housed in a refurbished retail area, reconfigured with open floor plans and mezzanine viewing areas to facilitate communal dining experiences. Integrating façade upgrades and resurfacing throughout the precinct, refreshing pedestrian pathways and modernising the overall look and feel of the site. Once complete, The Priory Centre aims to become a central hub for community interaction and social engagement in Worksop that will foster an inviting atmosphere while aligning with sustainability and accessibility standards.
