Smart Systems are the UK’s leading supplier of architectural aluminium systems. Their purpose-built site in Yatton houses their main office, warehouse and distribution base. Over the past 14 years, Smart Systems have continued to invest and expand their operation over a series of six phases (Eastwood have supported since phase 2), with the current size of their premises approximately 50,000m2.
Our expertise on this ongoing expansion project, as a multi-disciplinary engineering firm, encompassed our full range of specialisms; civil and structural, geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering.
The Eastwood team dedicated to this project contained a mixture of engineers, technicians and geologists, responsible for site investigations, foundation design (pile caps and ground beams), floor slabs (pile-supported RC), foul drainage, surface water drainage (above-ground attenuation tanks), and external hard standing areas.
Given the complexity of the project, Eastwood offered a Resident Engineer to provide full-time site supervision for the duration of the construction works. We could therefore ensure the construction matched the required quality and performance as described in the drawings, specifications and other contract documents.
