Construction of new extension/conservatory at 9, Washbrook Avenue, Worsley.

Engineer – Carley Daines & Partners

Carley Daines & Partners were approached by Mr Broadhurst to provide a structural design solution for a new conservatory extension to the rear of the premises.

A conventional upvc or timber frame conservatory was not to the client’s requirement, and it was decided to construct the conservatory in traditional materials. However, a potential problem arose in restraining the horizontal outward forces from the inclined rafters.

Carley Daines & Partners designed a structural steel ring beam supported on steel columns which received the approval of the Local Authority for Building Regulations.
