Rear and Side extension with raft footing, Tipton, West midlands

The project encompasses a comprehensive range of activities, including site visits, on-site investigations, a detailed feasibility study, and the structural design of steel frames and beams. A key aspect of the project involves designing a robust raft footing system, taking into account the challenges of building in a mining area with potential subsidence of up to 3 meters in diameter. Additionally, retaining walls were engineered to support adjacent roadworks, ensuring the stability of the surrounding infrastructure. The feasibility study addressed critical factors such as ground conditions, load requirements, and potential subsurface movements to develop a safe and sustainable foundation solution. The steel frames and beams were designed to withstand the unique stresses of the site, with all elements carefully integrated into the overall structural plan. This multifaceted approach ensured that the project met both functional and safety standards while addressing the complexities of the site conditions.
