This meant tackling serious stability risks. Rather than relying on temporary works, we took an 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵, using permanent piles for lateral support. The result? A safer, more efficient excavation that 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 while keeping sustainability and cost on track.🍃 Huge credit to the teams involved, including GCL (Ground Construction Limited), for making it happen - and congratulations to all the other shortlisted projects.

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸: As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the next generation of engineers, Alexander Mead, Jason Chua, and Helen Sutton recently visited the University of Nottingham to speak with third-year civil engineering students.🏗 The day served as a briefing for the upcoming Constructionarium Ltd, a hands-on learning experience where participants will put their knowledge into practice, tackling real-world engineering challenges. Working alongside Sir Robert McAlpine, we spend the full week on-site, offering guidance, mentoring, and practical insights throughout the process. The team also explored the design process behind construction drawings, highlighting the steps that take a project from concept to reality. Attendees took part in a hands-on design challenge, getting creative with scheme designs and structural problem-solving. Hosting one-on-one conversations, provided an opportunity to answer questions about Walsh, placements, and careers in the construction industry. Encouraging fresh talent into the industry is vital, and National Careers Week is the perfect time to highlight the opportunities available to future engineers. 🧠Curious to learn more?

Both cores have reached their full heights - 𝟰𝟲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟯𝟲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘆𝘀 - with the final slabs to be constructed in the coming weeks.   ✨ A milestone was the successful erection of the 𝘀𝗸𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 and the first conjoining slab at Level 10. This joint-free structural connection plays a crucial role in meeting the stringent Passivhaus airtightness requirements.   💡 To achieve this, we developed a 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 to simulate the interaction between the linked structures, avoiding the need for joints in the floor slabs.   A fantastic achievement by all involved in delivering this ambitious, highly sustainable project! urbanest UK Henriksen Studio Apt JRL Group Ltd Midgard Ltd Rider Levett Bucknall RLB FMDC Ltd MTT Limited Gerald Eve WSP Whether you're aiming for ultra-low energy performance or tackling complex design challenges, talk to Charlie O'Reilly about our practical, sustainable solutions that meet your project’s needs.
