Project details: Vertical Extension
Steel Frame Solutions designed and supplied two new storeys, constructed on top of an existing three storey structure to create 26 new, high quality, spacious apartments. Using our stand alone system, which provides a full structural build, each of the new floors was constructed entirely in light gauge steel. As part of our package, we undertook the design of a complicated transfer deck of compound cold rolled sections to accept the new structure. A challenging aspect of this scheme, was a requirement that the structure and construction methodology, had to be designed to enable the retail businesses on the lower level, to remain fully operational throughout each stage of construction.
