PSE were appointed to provide structural design services for a single storey rooftop extension to an existing series of garages
Construction comprised of a light-weight timber/steel frame structure consisting of stud-walls,timber floor joists& steel beams/posts.
The project presented the challenge of appraising the existing structure for the additional load from the proposed rooftop extension. The PSE team overcame this by a combination of structural surveys, diligent desk study and finite element modelling of the existing roof slab.
