Developments of steel portal frame warehousing units circa 25000 sq ft. ADS Structural provided the structural and civil design for the superstructure frame, secondary steelwork, masonry wall panels, GF Slabs, foundations, concrete external storage yards and SUDS drainage system. Our in-house design teams were heavily involved in the technical design of the sub and superstructures liaising with the geotechnical engineers throughout the site investigation processes and determining foundation solutions which were generally simple shallow pads, occasionally recommending the implementation of ground improvement via dynamic compaction / lime stabilisation / vibro piling. ADS Civils design team also prepared SUDS assessments and detailed drainage strategies to support the planning applications and such gained valuable experience in dealing with the LLFA, water authorities & drainage bodies.
