STRUCTURE: Brand New Dementia Care Home – Open Day
We were delighted to visit The Beeches, the brand new Dementia Care Home today, ahead of the official public open day which takes place on Sunday 20th March.
The new 56 bedroom dementia care home in Tottington, is situated next to Walshaw Hall care home, a magnificent Victorian mansion which over the years has been sensitively restored and adapted for use as a care home.
Ward Structure were commissioned to provide the structural design for this project. The design is a traditional masonry construction with precast concrete floors supported of strip foundations. Structural steel is used to form large open plan living spaces and glazed areas. The site is drained via an attenuated drainage solution.

Structure: Contractor receives significant savings on Residential Extension
WARD Structure were appointed to undertake the structural design for a single storey extension on a residential property in Prestwich, and in the process were able to provide significant savings to the contractor.
Our Structural Engineers designed the steel supports, timber rafters and foundations on the project. They also completed masonry design calculations to justify the size of the masonry wall returns and avoid the requirement for a steel portal frame to the rear elevation, which provided the contractor with significant savings.
