Rolton produced all structural, mechanical and electrical details using 3D co-ordinated models, allowing the wider project team to create intelligent, integrated designs at each RIBA stage.
Despite the site appearing as brownfield in character, it developed semi-natural habitats such as the great crested newt which our team worked around to ensure compliance with laws and regulations for protected wildlife and animals.
The site had a high-water table, which made it difficult to build new foundations on. Asbestos was encountered on the site, as well as a six-metre culvert running across the site, which itself is also very constrained. A power station located next to the site had a sensitive switch gear and a rising main, all of which had to be carefully considered at every stage of the project.
Our engineers constructed the new single storey ATT facility that houses the generation plant and the fuel delivery/storage, as well as a three-storey welfare and office facility within it.
Works carried out include the design layout and levels of private storm and foul drainage, the design, specification and detailing of piled foundations and piled slabs. Our MEP engineers designed lighting installation both internally and externally, as well as access control and CCTV and heating and cooling systems.
Our paper begins with a fundamental truth – that if we are to have the energy we need to ‘power the 2035 industrial and data-driven revolution’, we need to focus on delivering sustainable energy and infrastructure for the UK.
Join us at MIPIM for the official launch of Rolton’s white paper on delivering sustainable energy and infrastructure to power the industries of the future.
Rolton today announced the launch of a new service line focused on the design, construction, commissioning, handover and in-use support of advanced lift technology, championed by leading expert Tim Piggott.
