 Hole House Gas Storage Facility - 01/08/2011
Client: EDF Trading Gas Storage Limited

Details: This is soon to be the largest underground gas storage facility in the country based in Cheshire. The gas is stored in excavated salt mines, many metres under the ground.

JCP Engineers have been employed as consultants for the site over the last eight years. During that time we have provided Civil and Structural advice for office buildings, storage sheds, access roads, cellars, and bridges, for this multi-million pound development.

At present EDF are drilling on site to double the size of the gas storage facility, it is vital that the heavy equipment such as drilling rigs, electrical equipment, pipes and many tonnes of stone are carried safely on and off the site. All of this equipment is transferred over a single bridge which is hugely important to the operation. JCP Engineers are continually monitoring this to ensure it adequacy for EDF and British Salt.
EDF is the official energy utilities and sustainability partner of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games. We are proud to have been of assistance to them.

Doiley Bottom Hurstbourne Tarrant - 17/06/2011
Client: Mr and Mrs Cornett

This traditionally designed new dwelling included an extensive basement construction and living accommodation on three further floors including the ample loft space. An adjacent Annexe area; accessed via a part glazed link; was to comprise living accommodation at ground floor and within the roof space at first floor only.

The basement was designed in cavity reinforced masonry with an integral reinforced concrete slab. Close liaison with the Architect was required to ensure that the design was suitably waterproofed, and that the required thermal performance was achieved. The traditional strip footings to the adjacent Annexe required careful attention where they approached the deeper basement construction and a stepped foundation design was required.

Above ground, the building structure consisted predominantly of traditional brick and flint panels with a clay tiled roof. Extensive steelwork design was required in order to support the concrete beam and block floors to each of the upper levels, as each floor demonstrated a layout distinct from the level below it.

The main roof comprised a flat roof sat atop a clay tiled pitched roof, with living accommodation within the loft space. With various dormers, roof lanterns to both the main roof and link and spans in excess of 10 metres, the structure required an intricate design involving both traditional timber-cut roof elements and sizeable cranked steel supports. The roof to the Annexe area was to be vaulted, requiring the design of a traditional oak kingpost truss and purlins; all left exposed for architectural impact.

Ashford Chace Steep - 22/03/2010
Client: confidential

JCP Engineers were charged with completing the full structural design of this distinguished residential new build, due for completion in 2010.

The project posed unusual challenges in the form of a concrete cantilever staircase and difficult ground conditions including a fresh water spring flowing through the house, which required a considered approach to the design.

Bruins Donhead St. Mary - 18/03/2010
Client: confidential

The project comprised of significant structural alterations to the existing property and a new extension complete with basement, constructed using an insulated concrete formwork system. The construction of the basement took place during adverse weather conditions so that the poor ground combined with a high water table caused difficulties on site and required significant temporary support to the excavations. Part of the existing property was removed between ground floor and eaves level during the construction of the basement to enable the works to continue safely at the lower level, and JCP Engineers were also required to design temporary supports to the existing ground floor slab and roof which remained in-situ.

The structural elements were designed to be sympathetic to the architecture of the building and kept unobtrusive in order to create the elegant family home now completed.
