Engel Construction Ltd completes a range of structural work for residential and commercial clients throughout London. We have completed complex alterations for customers in prestigious areas across the capital, such as Chelsea and Kensington. Our qualified structural engineers manage projects from start to finish, working with plans drawn up by clients’ architects or our calculations.
We rely on durable structural elements to ensure the stability of buildings and construction projects. This requires the skill, focus, and in-depth experience required to undertake work above and below ground.
To see further examples of what our construction company has done for our former clients, please take the time to view our portfolio.
These can range from underpinning basements in London homes to addressing structural defects in commercial properties. No matter the project size, we go above and beyond to meet requirements and exceed expectations while remaining within timescales and budgets. These qualities make our construction company stand out amongst its competitors.
Our services include the following:
The removal of load-bearing walls needs to be carefully calculated to keep the structure sound and stable. The engineers at Engel Construction Ltd can draw up detailed plans and drawings. We can then remove or knock through the load-bearing walls, which are great ways to improve a property's layout.
Propping involves temporarily supporting a load and stabilising structures. Materials used for this process come in several shapes and sizes, depending on the work involved. Our teams rely on Acrow props for medium-weight loads, but other systems include:
Our underpinning work is used on various projects across London, including the desirable Kensington area. This structural work increases foundation depth or strengthens support systems already in place. It may be needed to bear the weight of further storeys or address any instability-related issues.
We are experienced in all relevant methods, including RC framework and traditional mass concrete pouring.
For underpinning work, our team completes sectional excavating to a desired depth below the structure's footing. We then fill the cavity with a poured concrete mixture, which is left to cure.
A foundation is the lower section of a building’s structure that transfers its gravity load into the ground. Foundations must be strong enough to ensure a building's safety and stability. There are two foundation types: shallow and deep. To determine which is best, we calculate the required depth in relation to the building and ground conditions.
Shallow foundations are best when the surface soil offers enough support. On the other hand, deep foundations transfer gravity loads even further into the ground with a suitable soil type.
If you require contractors for property refurbishments, our fully trained workforce can help. We can undertake structural modifications and repairs throughout all London areas and within the M25. Services available include RC framework, façade retention, substructure and superstructure works, and temporary support for compromised builds.
Our project managers are qualified in civil engineering with a wealth of experience, and we can manage the refurbishment of structural works for the project's full duration.
Excavation is the removal of earth to create a cavity in the ground using heavy plant machinery and a preparatory service we complete regularly. Each team member is knowledgeable in current health and safety protocols and follows them to the letter during all groundwork stages. Many techniques are adopted during excavations to safely support our work and prevent collapses.
