Foundations
For this new build in Morden, we completed the full foundation package in accordance with structural engineer specifications and site conditions. Works included excavation, ground preparation, and reinforced concrete foundations to provide a stable and compliant base for the structure. Levels and tolerances were carefully controlled throughout, ensuring the foundations were ready to receive the superstructure and meet all building control requirements.
Flooring
The ground floor was constructed using a block and beam system, providing a strong, durable, and efficient structural floor solution. This method allows for excellent load-bearing capacity while reducing ground-related moisture risks. A damp-proof membrane was scheduled to be installed at a later stage, beneath 180mm of insulation, to meet thermal performance requirements and ensure long-term protection against damp. This build-up provides a robust, energy-efficient floor structure ready for final finishes.
Brickwork
The brickwork was carried out to a high standard, balancing structural performance with a clean, modern finish. Materials were selected to suit both the design intent and the surrounding area, ensuring durability and visual consistency. Accurate setting out ensured straight lines, correct bonding patterns, and precise openings for windows and doors, resulting in a sharp and professional external appearance.
Attenuation Tank
An attenuation tank system was installed to manage surface water in line with modern drainage requirements. Unlike a traditional soakaway, which simply allows water to disperse into the surrounding soil, the attenuation system temporarily stores excess rainwater and releases it in a controlled manner via a pumped outlet. This approach reduces pressure on local drainage networks and provides a reliable solution where ground conditions or regulations prevent the use of standard soakaways. The system was installed and connected to ensure effective long-term water management and regulatory compliance.
