Description

This project marked the construction of a ground floor parking structure with a podium above. The structural framework employed a reinforced concrete (RC) flat slab for the parking structure, complemented by a steel frame roof structure to accommodate the project's intricate geometry. The entire site necessitated a reduced excavation, and precise setting out of the subterranean structure was meticulously planned to ensure minimal impact on adjacent properties.

Multilevel Parking Design

The primary focus of the project was the construction of a ground floor parking facility with a podium structure above.
This innovative design maximizes the use of space while offering functional and aesthetically pleasing parking solutions.

RC Flat Slab and Steel Frame Roof

The structural frame of the ground floor parking structure utilized a robust reinforced concrete (RC) flat slab.
The intricate roof geometry was achieved through the implementation of a steel frame, showcasing a harmonious blend of strength and architectural flexibility.

Reduced Excavation Requirements

A key consideration for the project was the implementation of a reduced excavation strategy.
This approach not only minimizes environmental impact but also ensures efficient use of space within the construction site.

Precise Subterranean Structure Setting Out

This precision was crucial to minimize any potential impact on adjacent properties, showcasing our commitment to responsible and considerate construction practices.

Conclusion

Merrion Gates represents a successful integration of innovative design and structural engineering expertise. By combining a reinforced concrete flat slab with a steel frame roof, the project achieves both functionality and architectural elegance. The careful execution of reduced excavation and precise setting out underscores our commitment to minimizing environmental impact and ensuring harmonious coexistence with neighboring properties. This project exemplifies our dedication to delivering solutions that not only meet technical requirements but also contribute positively to the surrounding community and environment.
