Case Study
Water Lane, Wotton-under-Edge
12 new family homes
PRO Structures was the structural engineer for this exclusive development of twelve new family homes in the
picturesque Cotswold town of Wotton-under-Edge. As part of our brief, we designed the new deep strip foundations for
the site, which had previously been used as a commercial office and warehouse building.
This change of use, combined with the presence of high water-demand leylandii trees in the area’s clay soil, posed
specific challenges which led to our choice of deep strip foundations.
During the course of our site inspections, we also advised the contractor on the need to remove unsuitable
obstructions in the ground, to ensure the stability of the new build.
PRO Structures’ work involved:
 Structural design for the substructure elements
 Structural drawing in relation to the substructure
 Liaison with the subcontractors and developer
 Site inspections to advise the contractor on remedies for structural problems uncovered during the build.
