🚧 Exciting Update on Our Borough Road Project in Middlesbrough. We've increased the room capacity from 23 to 25 studios, with the aim of welcoming students for the University’s January 2025 intake! 🎉 Key Updates: ▶️ Design Enhancements: Plans include removing chimneys and the roof, adding 2 dormers, replacing windows and doors, and working on internal walls and flooring to protect the building's fabric. ▶️ Structural Changes: We're expecting the Structural Engineer Report in early August, with structural changes set to be completed by the end of the month. ▶️ Exterior Improvements: Plans to enhance student accommodation appeal by adding a landscaped garden, courtyard, car parking spaces, and cycle racks. ▶️ Planning and Design: We've finalised updated drawings, increased room capacity, and are awaiting planning decisions on proposed changes. Our next update in due in September 2024! 📅 #PropertyDevelopment #Middlesbrough #StudentAccomodation #ConstructionUpdate #BuildingProgress #SustainableDesign #AshbrookesGroup #UKInvestments #Investments

Project in commercial building

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝟭𝟮𝟬°𝗙: 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 Many mechanical engineers seem reluctant to design buildings with supply temperatures below 120°F. However, buildings have been designed with low-temperature heating systems for decades. The excerpt shown is from a building designed and built in the early 80s. I recall working on a building here in Toronto, constructed in 1972, which was also designed with similar low heating supply temperatures. I'm sure there are even older examples out there. As we move towards electrification, design heating temperatures for buildings are starting to decrease. However, the inertia is real—many designers are still opting for higher temperatures.

What is nice about having a BCIN and a background in Civil Engineering, Interior Design, and Construction Project Management? You get to hire yourself anytime you need a renovation, and take care of planning, designing, scheduling, and budgeting the right way :) I created the video below with an app I just learned couple days ago. It’s much quicker than other programs I know. I needed that with my busy schedule. The details might not be the greatest, but I found it better than hand sketching (at least for me)! #constructionmanagement #interiordesign #renovationproject #bcin #renovations #residentialdesign

Seán & Eddie were on site this morning for a site orientation & FOK damper reviews. We're looking forward to a busy few months ahead with our client on this development. The system has been designed with the user in mind, providing an advanced tool that simplifies installation and commissioning of dampers and peripheral devices. The Safegard V5 system is designed to protect life and property from damage caused by smoke and fire, by providing the means to: - Compartmentalise fire zones. - Reduce the spread of smoke and fire. - Keep escape routes and fire-fighting access open. - Allow complex strategies (cause and effect).

Paradigm-shifting clients are a very rare thing, and Hastings Commons is one of those: taking derelict and difficult buildings into community custody, for the common good. They have developed a new model for delivering social infrastructure for a community from the ground up. In an era where social infrastructure funding has been slashed, this is a remarkable achievement. I could not be more excited that IF_DO is extending our work with them to help transform Eagle House. At both Eagle House and the nearby Observer Building we are creating new co-designed spaces dedicated to local young people. With Youth Services funding seeing a real terms decline of 70% (almost £1 billion) from 2010-2020*, the creation of two new youth spaces as part of a community-led regeneration is something that should not only be celebrated, but also seen as a model for communities elsewhere. Now to get them built! A massive thank you to the client team, including Dr Jess Steele, OBE and John Brunton, and huge credit to IF_DOers Jamie Kyle Agnew and Gregory Devaud. #socialinfrastructure #communityinfrastructure #communitybuilding #youthservices #youthcentre #hastings #hastingscommons #retrofit #adaptivereuse *See the YMCA 'Out of Service' report

As promised here is our case study on The Old Fox. SOLID were appointed as Structural Engineers on the project, collaborating with Architectural Designer Henda Knobel and Barr Group. Once a village pub, the almost three-hundred-year-old Grade II listed building, is now a warm and comfortable family home. To create their dream home, the new owners wanted to make several alterations to the building. These alterations were designed to upgrade the property to modern standards without removing any of the existing character. SOLID worked closely with Henda Knobel, Barr Build and the Local Authority Conservation Officer to overcome the challenges presented within the heritage building. Read more about how SOLID approached these challenges by following the link below. If you are looking to renovate your own heritage property, contact our team today to discover how we can help you overcome your own structural and civil engineering challenges. https://lnkd.in/egwxr4U7 #structuralengineering #civilengineering #listedbuildingrenovations #listedbuildings #GradeIIListed #historicbuildings

As structural engineers, our passion lies in the world of residential projects. The art of transforming architectural dreams into safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing homes is an endeavor that continuously inspires us. In every residential project, our role is pivotal in ensuring the safety and durability of the structures that become havens for families. Here are some key aspects that make residential structural engineering an exciting and essential field: 1️⃣ Innovation in Design: Residential projects offer a canvas for innovative structural design. Our team strives to incorporate modern materials and techniques, creating homes that are not only strong but also environmentally sustainable. 2️⃣ Meeting Codes and Regulations: Adhering to local building codes and regulations is fundamental in ensuring that homes are resilient to natural forces such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods. Our expertise enables us to strike a balance between aesthetics and safety. 3️⃣ Customization and Personalization: Every home is unique, and our structural engineering solutions work closely with architects and homeowners to realize their visions. Whether it's a sleek urban apartment or a rustic countryside retreat, our designs are tailored to the specific needs of each project. 4️⃣ Efficiency and Cost-effectiveness: Efficiency in material usage and construction methods not only saves resources but also reduces construction costs. Striking the right balance between design and economy is a constant challenge we embrace. 5️⃣ Safety Above All: Residential structures must provide a secure environment for families to thrive. Our commitment to precision and quality ensures that each home is a sanctuary where occupants can feel protected. Residential structural engineering isn't just about bricks and beams; it's about crafting spaces where memories are made, families are nurtured, and lives unfold. It's a blend of science and art, where functionality meets aesthetics, and where safety is paramount. We are privileged to be part of this dynamic field and look forward to the ever-evolving challenges and opportunities it brings. Together, we build not just houses, but homes that stand the test of time. 🏠✨ #RaftConsultingLTD#StructuralEngineering #ResidentialProjects #InnovationInDesign #SafetyFirst #BuiltToLast #EngineeringExcellence

Skyscraper city: How Sydney’s engineers approach tall building design How strict building regulations impact the construction of Sydney’s skyscrapers, and what the future could hold for tall building design. Key points: Sydney boasts the second largest number of skyscrapers in the country, but engineers face barriers to quickly and cheaply executing new projects. The taller a building, the greater the structural load across aspects such as wind and gravity. Plans for a two km-high skyscraper in Saudi Arabia would tower over all of Sydney’s, and indeed the world’s, structures. Clusters of skyscrapers adorn Sydney’s skyline, from the city’s CBD across the North Shore to Parramatta in the east. But even as these structures act as a reminder of civil engineering prowess, engineers must work within set boundaries that dictate the look and nature of the end product. A panel of engineers, urban planners and design professionals gathered at the recent Sydney Build Expo to examine the regulations and environmental concerns that are front of mind for design engineers.
