Our approach SOLID has used The Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) tool to model the potential for carbon neutrality of the structural and civil engineering elements.

A low carbon future - Solid Engineering Design Firm

We base our calculation on the LCA standards (CEN/TC350, ISO 21930). The design has followed the RICS building stages. One of our principles is to reduce embodied carbon by using more recycled materials and materials that are produced using less fossil fuel. However, in order to achieve carbon neutrally, it is necessary to provide solid engineering structures that can restore climate. Benchmarking Our calculations also looked at the embodied carbon performance of the structure in relation to residential developments in Europe, using the ‘Cradle to grave’ methodology.

Designing for large temporary construction loadings The construction programme was based on the substructure, piling and all structural ground slabs being completed before the gasifier and boiler would be installed, with the building envelope to follow after.

Solving Ince's challenges with Heritage Engineer

The piles and the ground slabs were designed for the gasifier and boiler, the two heaviest items, to be installed using a 600T crane. However, due to the procurement process, the fabrication and delivery of the gasifier and the boiler were late and it was decided to proceed with the building envelope, leaving access hatches in the roof of the gasification building for the gasifier and boiler to be lowered into the building.

All deliveries and lifting operations were carried out after completion of the permanent works Due to the additional height required to lift the items over the roof of the building, a larger crane was required, which in turn meant the loads imposed on the substructure would be higher.

Structural Design Services

Infiltration values were very poor, and our design had to ensure we separate site water from the underlying clay due to risk of heaving. We also had to consider the impact that the Northway and Marston flood alleviation scheme could have on the site. A sustainable drainage system (SuDS) approach was decided upon to align side wide surface water drainage requirements with natural water processes.

Due to the scale of the project and the footprint size of non-permeable buildings, a staged approach was designed to attenuate surface water flows. First stage was to attenuate water in the sub-base of the roads. From this sub-base, a network of pipes directed the water to two attenuation ponds located in a field next to the community centre and mansion block. One pond enhanced the natural habitat of newts found in the proximity to the site.

The main attenuation pond provided storage of 800m3. Water Treatment Works. Contact for Chartered Structural Engineer. Careers - Residential Civil Engineer. Find the Structural Engineer in Wiltshire.

Structural design is a very specialized part of civil engineering.

The Importance of Structural Design Services in Civil Engineering

It involves a methodical investigation to obtain the economical specification of a structure to bear the assumed load safely. Using the structural design, engineers ascertain the right size, reinforcement, grade, etc. of structural parts to endure the internal forces calculated during the structural analysis. As the world develops, civil construction is increasing at an astonishing rate. Sweeping concrete staircase fly through.

SOLID Structures & Infrastructure acquired Howes Atkinson Crowder Founded in 2006, Howes, Atkinson Crowder (HAC) positioned themselves as engineers of distinction.

SOLID Perspectives June 20

Serving a wide range of clients in both structural and civil engineering capacity, HAC have developed a particularly niche service in large scale civil projects such as aggregate handling plants, water treatment works, energy from waste plants and large concrete reservoirs. Like SOLID, HAC have a valued client base and are known for their willingness to take on, and deliver any challenge. We are taking on much more than just a business. We are taking on, and plan to build on, Robin Atkinson's legacy of 45 years in service of the engineering world. This deal is a fantastic opportunity for SOLID Structures & Infrastructure as it strengthens our expertise, particularly in large civil works and adds a strategic location to our regional office network. A small selection of HAC projects can be viewed here. Radley College Chapel - Building the BIM model. Our Structural Engineer for Homes - Solid Engineering.

Or, looked at a gigantic suspension bridge on your way to the airport and thought, “how did they make it?” We had all felt the same way, especially when we were small kids. These megastructures are examples of feats man can achieve if we set out for them. They are the symbols of a prosperous civilization on earth. While architects design stunning buildings and other structures from imagination, it is the duty of the engineers to bring these imaginations and drawings to reality.

Today, we are talking about structural design engineers: those involved in constructing a building from start to finish. Building Community in Chipping Norton Developments - Solid Engineering.

There are more than 450 churches called St Mary in England alone!

The many faces of St Mary

Over the years we have been involved with quite a few of those. With Christmas fast approaching, we thought now would be a good time to highlight a few of them. At St Mary’s Banbury, we assist in the ongoing programme of up keep and maintenance which have included previous substantial repairs to the vestry roof, the chancel stone repairs, a review of the chancel roof, church pew condition investigations; as well as supporting Nick Cox Architects with heritage grants. The stone repairs at the church mainly focused on finding a safe way to construct access scaffold that maintained access at the ground floor to the church but did not overload existing window arches or the vestry roof and also worked around the significant historic organ.

Surveying the chancel roof was particularly interesting as we got a rare view inside the ceiling plenum, looking at the construction of the domed structure. Sweeping concrete staircase fly through. Our Brilliant Solid Structures and Infrastructure Designs — SOLID Engineering. Building Information Modeling and how it has transformed the AEC industry. BIM Construction - Solid Engineering — SOLID. Embracing and developing our technological capabilities have always been a key strategy when SOLID was founded 15 years ago.

BIM Construction - Solid Engineering — SOLID.

As the size and complexity of our projects grew, so did our ambitions for BIM modelling. Not all projects require BIM modelling. It is generally used on larger projects or when there are project specific complexities and/or construction sequencing issues that are challenging to resolve in 2D. One such project is the Radley College Chapel extension design by Purcell. We have found BIM modelling was the only way to develop a buildable solution for the complex design. As specialist stone designer, we developed a BIM model of the steel structure supporting the vaulted brick ceiling and natural stone ribs.

BIM - From the ground up — SOLID.

Sean Daly took part in a series of events discussing the barriers to BIM implementation in the construction sector. We often wonder if what is discussed at industry level is a true reflection of what engineers at the coalface experience. We asked the engineers in our office their views on working with BIM. Common goals and understanding “If the model is not set up correctly from the word go, it is difficult to extract information and manipulate the model efficiently” Cristian, Engineer “A lot of frustration arises when some consultants are not brought on board from an early enough stage.

“If a project’s co-ordinate system is not set up and adopted by the whole design team from early on in a project, it creates immense problems in the BIM model later on. The value benefit to projects “I have found that on smaller projects, BIM uptake is low due to costs. Careers - SOLID - Structural Design Engineer. Structural Engineer Oxfordshire.
