⚠️ Pouring concrete in extreme heat? Think twice! High temperatures dry out the mix rapidly, which ruins the concrete’s final strength and causes bad surface cracking.
Protect your build by pouring during cooler night or morning hours, keeping materials shaded, and using retarders with mist curing.

⚠️ Crew Safety First. Ensure your team takes regular breaks, stays hydrated, and knows the signs of heat stress.

Did you know news reports that in 2022 cases of subsidence increased by 45% on its monthly average*. How could this affect your New Build project? 🏠

One of the reasons for this is due to properties built on clay soils:

🌳Clay soils exhibit a property known as Volume Change Potential, which causes them to expand and contract based on their water content.

🌳When buildings are constructed on clay soil, they can be affected by soil shrinkage during dry weather and soil expansion during heavy rainfall.

🌳The presence of nearby trees exacerbates this situation, as trees extract moisture from the soil.

🌳To mitigate these effects, engineers must assess tree impact and implement safe solutions to prevent defects in new construction, extensions, and subsidence remediation.

Our engineers here at Quorum consider different soil types when designing new build projects to ensure your property has structurally sound foundations.

Background:
The client desired to enhance a classic Victorian end-of-terrace dwelling in London by updating and revitalising the interiors.
The goal was to expand the living areas to establish a more spacious and brighter kitchen and dining area.

Scope:
The architectural enhancements aimed to maximize natural light in the rear extension by incorporating a glass roof into both the rear and side infill extensions.
To facilitate an open layout, structural steelwork was necessary to reinforce the first-floor rear elevation and the property’s side wall. Quorum developed a structural framework to provide the necessary lateral stability for the glass rear elevation.
Quorum worked closely with the architects Cato Creative to ensure that the project was completed on time, within budget, and to the client’s high standards of quality.
