Project Description
Involved from pre-planning stage, we provided full civil structure design service, including flood plain compensation, drainage design utilising SUDS infiltration, sub structure and steel frame design for the building works.
Project Challenges
The principal engineering consideration was providing a resilient building within the flood plain of the adjacent River Wharfe. Environment Agency Consultation through the planning stage allowed the development of a proposal to construct the building on a raised concrete podium with the ability for flood water to pass under the floor should the river over top the adjacent bank.
The solution achieved includes a supporter terrace and podium with the opportunity for future development of the clubhouse.
