Engineering Excellence
The site sits next to the River Clyde and is founded on rock at depth using a bored insitu piles.
We added value to the design of the buildings in ensuring transfer structure was at a minimum and that detailing of the structural elements was consistent and as simple as practical. In addition flood study models and joint probability analysis were carried out to sensibly address flooding issues which allowed us to design the drainage for the full site taking cognisance of the sensitivity models. The Scheme also involves significant earthworks formation of new roads, drainage and Public Realm.
