Featured Sector: Private Residential

Walsh works with many of the largest well-known homebuilders in the UK. Our private residential experience spans bespoke one-off projects to £450m+ developments that are amongst some of the most challenging and constrained site in the country. We optioneer schemes at an early stage to recommend the best and most sustainable methods of construction including foundation, buildability and safety aspects whilst delivering the detailed design stage using a collaborative approach,

Featured Sector: Commercial

Walsh has delivered engineering solutions for millions of square feet of commercial space over the last 30+ years. Whether these commercial buildings are to be located in urban environments or at regional business parks, we understand the dynamics that are reshaping our cities and workplaces. We design to meet the economic, human health and sustainability requirements of occupiers today whilst considering the potential needs of future occupiers.

Featured Sector: Modern Methods of Construction

Walsh has been at the forefront of Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and innovative techniques using MMC for many years. On turnkey projects, like the Mace ‘Rising Factory’, Walsh has designed systems that allow multiple floors to be built in just a few days and saved months on the programme. Walsh has completed schemes in Concrete Frame, Modular HRS RC Frame, Full Volumetric Frame, Precast Frame, CLT and Steel Concrete Hybrid Frame.

Featured Sector: Student Accommodation

Our attention to detail and ability to deliver on time has made Walsh the “go-to” engineers of choice in the UK for purpose built student accommodation. Walsh has successfully delivered the engineering consultancy that has facilitated more than 50 PBSA developments providing nearly 30,000 student beds with many more in planning or under construction. Our value-added approach on these projects has provided significant environmental, programme and financial benefits to our clients.

14 Westfield Avenue

This major office development in Stratford provides over 300,000 square feet of commercial space and consists of a 14 storey office block over a ground floor amenity space above a 7m deep basement. Working on a heavily constrained site, Walsh designed a lightweight structural solution to speed up construction and a an embodied carbon footprint 20% below industry good practice. This earned the development a BREEEAM Excellent rating.

Embassy Gardens

Walsh were uniquely placed to design an innovative range of both concrete and steel solutions and advise on the ground remediation of this former gasworks site. Walsh were able to develop a standard frame system across the residential sites on this prestigious multiple phase mixed use development using long span P.T flat slab construction that allowed flexibility for apartment layouts and resulted in a regular open column grid in the low level commercial spaces.

Westfield Extension

Phase 2 of Westﬁeld London is an extension to the existing shopping centre. Part of the works was to create a linking mall between the two phases. Substantial reworking of the existing structure was required including the partial demolition and re-support of a large concrete core. Walsh designed a complex steel frame, using 15,000 tonnes of steel to span the roads and central line infrastructure including heavy plate girders, trusses and hanging structures.

Trafalgar Way

Currently under construction this building sets new benchmarks in purpose built student accommodation. The development features three towers, one of which stretches to 46 stories, and will be Europe’s largest student PassivHaus scheme. The building is situated under the flight path into London City Airport so there were strict constraints on height which Walsh facilitated by designing thin floor slabs. This reduced the height, minimised weight and helped reduce foundation costs.

Calders Wharf

Walsh leveraged the power of integrated geotechnical and structural engineering to approach the foundation design for Calders Wharf from a new angle, using our experience of building over other railway assets in London to value engineer the development. We proposed the use of a ‘compensated raft’ approach, constructing a sacrificial basement to offset the weight of the building. Net loadings and tunnel displacements were reduced to agreed limits through an extensive and detailed liaison process with the DLR.

Victory Plaza

This private rented sector (PRS) scheme consists of 482 homes, commercial and retail space and features 32 and 35 storey towers. NO6 and NO8 were built using innovative MMC techniques which were designed in partnership with Mace. This allowed whole floors to be built in just a few days. Walsh took a proactive approach the value engineering and identified several key savings across the development, the most significant of which was to change the piling and reduce the tower core sizes.
