Complex engineering required to deliver the planning consent for this new apartment block in East London

This new build includes a basement, ground floor commercial space and 8 storeys of apartments, with 39 of the 63 apartments being sold under the shared ownership scheme. The frame is constructed in reinforced concrete with post tensioned floors on piled foundations. MNP negotiated complex issues with the local authority Ground Protection Officer to allow construction to commence as early as possible, and Network Rail consents were gained using our in house CRE’s.

All design and reinforcement detailing was carried out using highly sophisticated finite element analysis software to ensure economical slabs could be used that maximised the head room.
