Spar Roseberry, Middleborough

CPA were appointed by client, James Hall & Co Limited, to provide full civil and structural engineering design services for the development of a new build retail store and associated petrol filing station (PFS).

The site was a former PFS facility that has remained dormant for some time. Buried fuel tanks remained and required removal and remediation as part of the proposed development. CPA specified and coordinated the site investigation works following background reviews which identified the presence of a backfilled former clay quarry on the site. The soil conditions dictated a fully piled sub structure was required including the PFS forecourt canopy structure.

Alternative steel frame options were considered to develop arrangements that achieved the client’s strict column positions as well as internal clearance heights which were also restricted by local planning requirements. Site drainage and levels were also carefully and thoroughly developed and detailed to suit the existing shallow infrastructure connection points and the client’s specific car park and PFS forecourt requirements.
