PYD

Project completed in two stages. Stage one: Stiffen and strengthen existing beams, remove columns, add mezzanine to existing first floor. Stage two, stiffen existing beams, remove beams, temporarily prop existing roof and remove one side of this roof, replace with new higher roof including an atrium. Provide new mezzanine to existing first floor, fabricate and install 25mm plate steel blade walls to entry.

This project required a very fast turn around time as the client was still trading during construction. Difficulties included very limited access to first floor of building and limited head height. All mezzanine steel was erected with 1,500 kg walk behind electric forklifts.
