Description

The Merrion Showroom project posed a series of formidable challenges, notably the construction of a deep basement in extremely close proximity to an operational hospital. The primary structural elements consisted of reinforced concrete with post-tensioned flat slabs. Overcoming complexities, the project showcased a highly intricate roof geometry, realized through the strategic use of a steel frame.

Deep Basement Construction

One of the primary challenges was the construction of a deep basement in the immediate vicinity of an operational hospital.
Meticulous planning and execution were paramount to ensuring the safety and stability of the surrounding environment.

Reinforced Concrete with Post-Tensioned Flat Slabs

The main structural framework of The Merrion Showroom predominantly features reinforced concrete (RC) with post-tensioned flat slabs.
This choice not only ensures structural integrity but also maximizes efficiency in load-bearing capacities.

Proximity to Live Hospital

The project's location in close proximity to a live hospital demanded meticulous coordination to minimize disruptions.
Stringent safety measures and precise construction methodologies were implemented to ensure the seamless coexistence of the construction site and the hospital's operations.

Conclusion

The Merrion Showroom project stands as a testament to our capability to overcome intricate challenges in structural engineering. By successfully constructing a deep basement near a live hospital and employing a combination of reinforced concrete and steel for intricate roof geometry, this project exemplifies our commitment to precision, safety, and innovative design. The seamless integration of these elements not only meets the functional requirements of the showroom but also contributes to the architectural sophistication of the entire structure.
