The A.E.E.U. required a basement to be construction for use as a sports hall and gym. The building itself is a grade II listed building so extra care had to be taken when undertaking the works.

The Works

All Foundations provided a 1200m², 3m deep basement extension, which included continuous piled walls to each 50m flank walls and traditional underpinning to each gable wall.

The basement was excavated and new ground floor support steels installed prior to the construction of a reinforced concrete floor slab.

Said Mike Lloyd, Contacts Director of All Foundations, "Acting as principal and main contractor we were able to show the full range of our capacities and implement a one stop shop for an extremely prestigious client and design team. Works were completed to budget and before the end of the planned programme."
