ENGINEERING
The ever increasing sophistication of the demolition industry allied to its greater determination to satisfy the needs of the health and safety directorate and constant improvements in methods of building removal, has dictated that the process becomes engineering driven. No longer is a crane and a wrecking ball sufficient to demolish a building.
Structural engineering solutions are a fundamental necessity to demolition, enabling works to be carried out in the reverse of the construction sequence. Squibb Group has taken the initiative and moved ahead of the market by acquiring PGCS, a Structural Engineering practice, in order to be on hand to develop solutions integral to the demolition process.
Understanding the sequence of construction and the ability to dismantle in a controlled manner are prerequisites of developing a safe attitude to a potentially hazardous operation.
Many demolition projects require the retention of one or more façades of a condemned building. The availability of engineering expertise with the knowledge of shoring and temporary support gives Squibb Group a unique competence that will benefit our customers in reducing time and cost.
PGCS are a Civil and Structural Engineering practice based in Billericay, Essex. The acquisition affords Squibb Group a speedy response to structural engineering situations allowing economic and effective solutions, whilst integrating modern concepts with traditional methods.
