Coming through in a pinch, Loft Lines Belfast
When a high-profile project in Belfast required some specialist civils assistance, we were on hand to help! The Loft Lines urban development in Belfast is set to transform a prime part of the city with a whole new way of life. But when an issue arose that required geotechnical expertise, we had the answer.  Shahid Raza, our engineering manager, said: “Having been on site and met with the client, we determined to design a 3-layer specification system consisting of 13,000 square metres of our premium FasTrack 60/60 woven geotextile and a further 26,000 square metres of our SX4040 geogrid would be required. This allowed us to alleviate the soft ground issues we were working on to create a solid platform that provided a robust foundation, with enough bearing capacity for the multiple piling rigs and other heavy engineering equipment needed. Especially with the quick turnaround needed, we managed to hit the mark with our specification progress, satisfying our client’s needs with minimal delays or fuss. “The Loft Lines is an exciting project for Belfast that will demonstrate the city’s ambition for years to come. We’re pleased to have been on hand to come in at an important stage and to have helped play a part in securing the next steps of its development.” Having drawn up the designs for this project and being aware of the tight timeframe, once the specification had been approved, we pre-empted the delivery of the required products to our local supplier to ensure progress could be picked up quickly.
