Park Lane Street
The existing Property is a two-storey detached house located in St. Albans
I have been asked by the client Akin to provide structural drawings and calculations for Building Regulations for internal wall removal (100mm in thickness load bearing brick wall), proposed porch conversion and proposed opening (3800mm) for the rear external wall.
For the internal load bearing wall removal, I have proposed flitch beam with triple studs on each side of the beam (showing cross section and details for the flitch beam).
I have provided design and calculations for the proposed porch
(Lintel for the proposed opening, Roof Rafters for the roof and strip foundations under the proposed cavity wall).
For the proposed rear opening – 3800mm in width for the rear wall I have provided design and calculations for ‘’Goal Post’’ ( steel beam, two steel posts on each side of the opening and 1000 x 1000 x 1000mm Deep concrete pad bases under each post).
The structural drawings and calculations were
submitted and approved by Building Control and the building works were finished in approximately one-month time.
I have been asked from the company ‘’Fuel4’’ – Staines to provide structural drawings and calculations for ‘’Wimbledon Chair House’’.
Wimbledon Chair House is an outdoor steel structure for a 4 week Wimbledon event. I had only one week time to finish the structural drawings and structural calculations for the project. Welding the elements on site was not allowed. Because of this reason I have proposed blind bolts for the connections between the steel posts and the steel beams and between the steel beams.
For the connection between the steel posts and the concrete pad bases I have used Resign bolts.
Under each steel post there is 600 x 600 x 600mm DEEP Concrete Pad Base.
The structural drawings and calculations (including wind analysis) were submitted, approved by Building Control and the building works were finished in less than one month.
