As part of our commission we carried out a Geo-Environmental evaluation of the site to establish the ground conditions and also designed all below ground foul and surface water drainage and external works. The foundations and basement walls were formed using CFA piles with RC pile caps. The building structures were both RC frames with flat slabs at each floor level and to accommodate the basement car-park grid a transfer structure was required at ground floor level. Due to the close proximity of the new buildings to existing roads, the basement retaining structures were Highway retaining therefore required AIP approval from the local authority Highway’s team. Our permanent site attendance during basement and transfer slab construction to inspect for quality and carry out record keeping of retaining walls for Kent County Council Highways.
