Our reputation for innovative design, backed up with strong delivery on time and on budget, underpins our ability to create long-standing relationships with our clients.
With the use of latest technology, we carry out topographical surveys, volume calculations, visualisations, survey reports, elevations, floor plans and site engineering services, so we can give you accurate reports during a site survey prior to commencing build work.
A suitable site investigation can often lead to cost savings in the long term as it allows contractors to foresee problems. At GS Construction, we use a number of investigation techniques from desk studies to fieldwork research.
Our team of engineers can advise on suitable methods for each individual project. The investigations usually include both geotechnical and environmental work.
We use the following techniques for the majority of projects:
• Trial Pitting
• Window Sampling and Dynamic Probe Testing
• Cable Percussive Boreholes
• Rotary Drilled Boreholes
• Laboratory Testing
We can cater for most piling and retaining wall needs. Our team’s technical, logistical and operational strengths provide clients with a flexible and reliable solution to their foundation needs.
Underpinning is the process of strengthening and stabilizing the foundation of an existing building or other structure. Underpinning may be necessary when the original foundation is simply not strong or stable enough or when the properties of the soil supporting the foundation may have changed (possibly through subsidence or if they were mischaracterized during design).
Additionally, we use underpinning when the construction of nearby structures necessitates the excavation of soil supporting existing foundations.
Our concrete work is used with the help of a machine for transferring liquid concrete by pumping.
We use two types of concrete pumps:
A trailer-mounted boom pump uses a remote-controlled articulating robotic arm to place concrete with pinpoint accuracy. Boom pumps are used on most of the larger construction projects as they are capable of pumping at very high volumes and because of the labour saving nature of the boom.
Line pumps are either mounted on a truck or placed on a trailer. These pumps normally pump concrete at lower volumes than boom pumps and are used for smaller volume concrete placing applications such as swimming pools, sidewalks, and single family home concrete slabs.
The construction of a framework for structural steel involves two principal operations: Fabrication and Erection.
Fabrication involves the processing of raw materials to form the finished members of the structure.
Erection includes all rigging, hoisting, or lifting of members to their proper places in the structure and making the finished connections between members.
A wide variety of structures are erected using structural steel. They can be listed as buildings, bridges, and towers, whilst most other structures are modifications of the three.
Roof windows are an attractive option for homeowners as they are able to fit into the line of the roof; thus not necessitating any restructuring. Installing these windows will provide the loft space with substantial light.
A Dormer is a window-featured extension of the roof, usually installed to provide more space and headroom within the loft. In the UK, the installation of a dormer requires planning permission from the local authorities.
Roof tiles are traditionally made from locally available materials such as clay or slate although concrete and plastic can also be used.
