Will Rudd Glasgow’s team supported the beer giant from Ellon with technical know-how in converting a 1970s office building in the center of Manchester into a ground-level bar and a hotel with a roof terrace.

“In order to achieve the permissible change in use, the condition and load-bearing capacity assessment of the existing structure as well as the implementation of internal conversions and a new roof design were decisive,” said the engineering office in Edinburgh, which was founded in 1982 and also practiced.

It was involved in the development of 137 units of student dormitories and community recreation rooms over an existing two-story Oxford commercial building to incorporate a green roof that houses vegetation that holds water so that drains would not overflow during a downpour.

Finally, civil engineering and geotechnical work has also been carried out by the Glasgow team to ensure that proposals for a large mixed-use housing development in Drumshoreland, West Lothian, can be submitted for approval.
