The Project:
The property was originally built within a forested area next to a quarry making the ground conditions unstable. Significant structural designs were required to enable the hydrotherapy facility extension to be built including, not only deep piled foundations but also a subterranean piled retaining wall to keep the neighbours property safe and stable during the pool excavations.
Complex programming enabled the internal refurbishment and the new hydrotherapy wing to be completed concurrently on the very tight site.
Works were completed on time and to budget by John Ford Group working as part of the Professional team and very closely with both the architect and structural engineer consultancy.
