HSP Consulting’s Structural team were appointed by Stepnell Construction to provide Temporary Works engineering input into a new purpose built building to house the Students Union at the University of Leicester.

HSP analysed the proposed construction works well in advance of the work on-site in order to ensure that adequate temporary works were in place to ensure the structural integrity of the building during the construction. This was made more complicated by the fact that the adjacent restaurant and canteen was kept in use for the students throughout the work on site.
