Project Details
Dun Holm House Student Accommodation in Durham is a facade remediation project requiring structural assessment of the existing building to support proposed facade replacement works.
We are providing structural engineering services to assess whether the existing SFS and primary building structure are capable of supporting the new facade system. The assessment considers the existing support arrangements, load paths, structural capacity, and the impact of revised facade loads on the retained structure.
Our role helps to provide confidence that the proposed facade remediation works can be coordinated safely with the existing building fabric and supporting structure.
