The new build development brought multiple sites and services together under one roof creating an innovative centre where GP’s share 33 clinical rooms including consulting, minor surgery and treatment rooms and open plan offices on the top floor.
Rolton engineers provided spatially coordinated design services up to and including RIBA Stage 3 and retained client side from RIBA Stages 4-6 in the role of technical advisor.
Our civil engineers determined a complicated infiltration drainage design due to the presence of made ground, which resulted in areas of surface water drainage requiring to be directed carefully to be suitably offset from the building.
Providing designs for a braced steel frame our structural team created in-situ concrete floors and suspended ground floor, using a variable depth trench fill foundation to account for the local ground conditions and presence of trees, avoiding the need to pile the scheme.
The MEP team had to carefully coordinate designs to accommodate the limited space in the ceiling void for services. The structure was fully modelled in 3D and coordinated closely with the MEP services, allowing for practical routing of ducts through the steel frame.
This project was completed to BREEAM ‘Excellent’.
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.
