Case Study
213 A Bath Road, Cheltenham
Two-storey infill apartment block comprising three flats
213 A Bath Road, Cheltenham, is a 2-storey infill development, L-shaped on plan, and presented PRO Structures
with several interesting sub-structure and structural design issues. To one side of the building there is an existing
structure with a basement, so our new foundations had to be carefully designed and stepped down in order not to
overstress the neighbouring basement building. On the other side, the neighbouring shop, located in the snug of the
‘L’, also had to have its foundations underpinned for our scheme to be built. Hence we were working in constrained
circumstances, and needed to find innovative solutions while also endeavouring to cause minimum disruption to the
surrounding buildings. This project was completed in autumn 2011.
