We have been appointed to deliver the structural design for a new temple crematorium on behalf of @anoopam_mission_uk. 🙌 Working closely with @marchinicurranassociates, our team have thoughtfully engineered a steel frame structure, designed for robustness and efficiency while ensuring clear, open internal spaces for the ceremonial and communal areas. The crematorium structure will incorporate a mezzanine floor, long-span trusses, and a braced steel stability system to accommodate both architectural vision and functional requirements. As always, we have ensured sustainability has been considered throughout the project, with a focus on material efficiency and structural optimisation to minimise embodied carbon. The lighter truss-based roof design significantly reduces steel tonnage, lowering the environmental impact without compromising structural integrity. 🚀 #structuralengineers #civilengineers #sustainableconstruction #structuraldesign #sustainable #civil #structural #crematorium #engineering

Works for Phase 1 of 3 at the Hydrogen Research Hub at @cranfielduni have officially commenced on site, starting with the implementation of reinforced concrete yard slabs! 🏗️ These works represent a crucial step in preparing the groundwork for the new single-storey building, which will house multiple test cells, control rooms, and utility areas. Wherever possible, sustainable solutions are being integrated into the project, with approaching site works including the installation of dry attenuation basins, filter drains, and a robust SuDS drainage strategy to efficiently manage surface water, reduce environmental impact, and ensure the long-term durability. 🚀 #hydrogen #researchanddevelopment #cranfielduni #constructionlife #EngineeringExcellence #structuralengineering #civilengineering

Construction has officially begun on a new two-storey commercial unit in Waverley, Rotherham! 🏗️ This milestone marks the start of an exciting project that prioritises sustainability and innovation, replacing traditional construction methods with environmentally friendly alternatives. The new office unit will not only meet modern environmental standards but also enhance durability and efficiency, setting a benchmark for future developments in the area. Key sustainable solutions incorporated into the design include the use of reinforced concrete with Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBS), which significantly improves durability while reducing the carbon footprint compared to conventional concrete. Composite decking systems have been utilised on the first floor, reducing the volume of materials required without compromising structural integrity. Our civils team has also integrated Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) to promote natural water management and minimise the impact on local drainage infrastructure. This project is a true example of innovation and sustainability coming together to create a forward-thinking development, and we look forward to sharing more over the coming weeks! 👀 #SuDS #Sustainable #engineering #structuralengineer #civilengineer #commercial #steelwork
