Working within heritage constraints often means getting creative. This project requires sections of structural walls to be removed while maintaining support for the load above. This involves ‘needle propping’ – a temporary support method used to carry the load of a wall while the section below is removed to install a new structural beam.
Here, our Site Manager, JC, talks us through how we can safely remove these sections while preserving the structural integrity of the hanging wall. This is a clever solution that helps us make way for the new while respecting what was already there.
