Foundation/Substructure Design
At HBPW we have an established reputation for value engineering and the economical design of foundations for both building and civil engineering structures.
Examples of this include:
- Queen Ethelburgas College
- Jack Lunn - Viewcroft Apartments (piling eliminated)
- East Midlands Signal Control Centre (piling eliminated)
- Glasgow Signal Control Centre (piling eliminated)
- Didcot Signal Control Centre (piling eliminated)
In order to achieve the greatest economy of design, HBPW have developed in-house expertise in the interpretation of geo-technical reports, preferring to commission our own ground investigations. This ensures that the information derived addresses all the parameters required for successful integrated foundation and associated temporary works design.
