The Challenge

The new development was to be constructed on a steep embankment, adjacent to an existing hospital building.

Our Solution

We coordinated with the piling contractor and temporary works designer to provide a suitable structural approach that would allow the site team to be able to build the proposed structure. A cantilever concrete frame was used to tie in to the existing building.
