Infill Project - High Street, Southall
Lightweight steel framing can be used to infill both concrete and structural steel main frames.
Sector: Residential
Services: Infill & Stand Alone
Completion Date: 2020
Location: Southall, London
This project compromises of 3 blocks which we have carried out both infill and stand alone aspects throughout, including adding storeys to an existing building. In total this project creates 120 apartments for the client.
Lightweight steel framing can be used to infill both concrete and structural steel main frames. Using cut to length studs and stick build construction method, buildings are quickly weather enclosed. Designs easily accommodate varying degrees of deflection to allow for movement of the structural frame.
Combined with various sheathing boards available, systems are able to provide suitable solutions for buildings up to and in excess of 18m high.
Lightweight steel frame infill systems can provide a weathered external envelopes by up to 50% quicker than traditional build methods, improving overall time scales on site.
Planning
Design
Each project we undertake is approached on an individual basis and our design input can vary according to each customer’s needs. This can range from basic advice for some, through to full design and drawings being required for others.
We produce a fully engineered, integrated design containing all structural calculations, loading details, section specifications, support requirements, connections and fixing specifications. A full set of construction drawings for your scheme are produced detailing stud and joist layouts, bracing requirements, openings and connection details. In addition, dynamic, 3D modelling allows you to rotate and tilt the model enabling you to examine each aspect from different viewpoints.
We have worked with design teams from the industry’s leading main contractors and specialist subcontractors on turnkey projects within all sectors including: residential, commercial, hospitality, education and health care. From which we have earned a reputation for quality, reliability and cost efficiency with the experience and knowledge to offer our services on both large and small scale projects.
Design charges and time scales will be discussed and agreed on an individual project basis, prior to commencing any technical work, as the complexity and scope of work, varies significantly on each project.
