HSP Consulting Engineers were appointed by Flambard Developments to provide engineering expertise towards extending an existing three storey 1920’s sorting office by a further 12 storeys to provide circa 400 apartment units complementary with restaurant, retail, conference and leisure facilities.

HSP carried out a full investigation survey and detailed analysis of the existing steel framed structure, with a view to minimise the level of strengthening works to both the existing steel frame and foundations and also to introduce as few as possible new columns into the existing structure which maximised space for additional units within the development.
