Description

Kilbridge Lodge stands as a testament to innovative structural engineering, featuring a load-bearing masonry frame with precast columns around the perimeter and precast floor slabs. This project was designed with foresight, accommodating a potential future rooftop extension. Special attention was dedicated to ensuring the feasibility of this future addition with minimal impact on the existing frame. Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) challenges were expertly addressed through a variety of measures, including tree pits, permeable paving, and an attenuation tank. Notably, the civil design emphasized gravitational flow to eliminate the need for pumping, showcasing an effort to blend functionality seamlessly with environmental consciousness.

Adaptable Structure for Future Extension

The load-bearing masonry frame and precast elements were strategically designed to accommodate a future rooftop extension.
Attention to detail ensures that any future floor addition can be seamlessly integrated with minimal modifications to the existing frame.

Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) Solutions

The project employs a variety of SUDS measures, including tree pits, permeable paving, and an attenuation tank.
These measures collectively manage surface water efficiently, showcasing a commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly practices.

Gravitational Flow Design

Great effort was invested in civil design to achieve gravitational flow and eliminate the need for pumping.
This design approach minimizes energy consumption and aligns with environmental sustainability goals.

Optimizing Site Layout for Accessibility

Kilbridge Lodge, set back significantly from the nearest public line, prioritizes minimizing falls while maintaining compliance.
The site layout reflects meticulous planning to enhance accessibility without compromising safety and compliance standards.

Conclusion

Kilbridge Lodge exemplifies our dedication to engineering excellence and forward-thinking design. From accommodating future expansions to implementing sustainable drainage solutions, this project showcases our ability to blend innovation with practicality. The commitment to minimizing environmental impact, paired with careful site planning, results in a structure that not only stands tall but also integrates seamlessly with its surroundings.
