Grange Rd, Sutton

Croft Structural Engineers were appointed by a local development firm to produce a new apartment block on a brown field site.

Typical construction techniques were used; precast concrete floors and masonry walls with a steel and timber roof.

The spiral stairs on this project turned out to be particularly difficult.  The initial idea had been to used precast stairs dropped into position.  However these proved to be uneconomic.  Croft structural engineers were able to pool their knowledge and draw the spiral stair stringer in such a way to allow for insitu construction.  This significantly reduced the overall costs.
