Structural Engineers

Mark Gregory - December 2004
mark.gregory@kirklees.gov.uk
In 2003/4 Structural Engineers at Design and Property Service carried out over 200 projects for services in Kirklees and Calderdale.

With expertise in Structural Surveys, design of new buildings, maintenance, repair, demolition and site investigation and contaminated land assessment D&PS cover all construction disciplines.

Design services
In partnership with Project Managers, Architects and other professionals the Structural Engineers carried out full and part consultancy services for housing, educational, commercial and industrial properties in new build and refurbishment.
Demolition
The Structural Engineers hold all the necessary Health and Safety expertise required to carry out "de-construction".

Anything from garages to Power Stations, demolition can be carried out quickly and safely, as can preparation for any future development. In 2003-2004 demolition worth approximately £250,000 will be undertaken.
Land reclamation and development
In the last 10 years we have co-ordinated nearly £10 Million of land reclamation and development, with qualified Civil and Structural Engineering staff available to advise on Environmental Impact Assessment, contaminated land and groundwater investigation and treatment.

Among other schemes the Structural Engineers are currently undertaking a feasibility scheme for the second phase development of a large site for Economic Development Services.

As part of a multi-million partnership with Landscape Architects, Highways Engineers and Bradford University, a scheme to develop land around Old Lane, Bradley has resulted in a very successful business park development.
Housing development
As one of our most valued clients we assist Housing Services at both Kirklees and Calderdale with maintenance, structural and Right to Buy surveys, remedial works such as underpinning and upgrading of stock, refurbishment and estate design and demolition.

Recent projects include large-scale ground slab replacement and overcladding contracts for housing estates in Batley, large scale demolitions for Calderdale Council and development advice on the Deighton Brackenhall Initiative.

We also have an in depth knowledge of system built houses and considerable expertise in the management and maintenance of council housing stock.
