SERVICES
Civil and Structural Engineering
Westlakes were appointed as civil and structural engineers for the development of a new £5.6m Primary Care Centre at Mossgate in Heysham. The project comprised the development of a new PCC of 5,000 square metres, which included three GP practices, a Pharmacy, Dental Clinic, and associated healthcare provision. Our scope was to provide civil and structural design services in connection with the main building, foundations, car park and drainage.
The 4 storey building is constructed using a steel framework and composite concrete metal deck flooring. Vibro compaction techniques were used to improve the ground under the main foundation. The project architects were Mellor Architects and the contractors were F Parkinson Ltd.
The PCC was built on the site of some community facilities which were re-provided as part of the development and as a result our scope was extended to include the design of a new access road, village hall, all-weather sports pitch and two bowling greens.
