Roger Bullivant (RB) was approached by Morgan Sindall Construction to develop the most cost-effective piled solution for the redevelopment of Ramsden Hall Academy.
The Academy provides specialist teaching for year six and secondary age male students with educational health care and social-emotional and mental health (SEMH) special education needs.
The scheme consisted of an extension to the existing teaching block and erection of a new replacement residential accommodation block which will hold 40 beds and enable the development of its pupil’s independent living skills.
RB were instructed to install 410no. loaded bearings piles with loads ranging from 250kN-350kN, with 15kN horizontal.
Our client required an engineering solution that provided cost savings as well as a reduction in the programme.
