Where the relocation of drains proves cost prohibitive, or not acceptable QuickBase can save the day with easily integrated sealed covers. QuickBase raised and sealed covers can be embedded into screed floor coverings or direct to the finished floor slab.
In addition, the QuickBase Design Team is often able to design pile locations to avoid drain runs eliminating the need to relocate. The helical form of the pile ensures no ground displacement and hence the piles can be located adjacent to pipes without causing any damage. Where piles are known to be close to pipework, our installation teams pre-auger using a hand auger to ensure piles are driven in a location to ensure damages cannot occur.

Civil & Structural Engineering
Engineering Innovation is at the heart of our approach to structural engineering. Shire were formed during 1988 in the belief that many clients were dissatisfied with the traditional reactive response of some Engineers.
Shire have a vast array of in-house design skills and expertise. Our dedicated telecoms team are often driving a gold design standard in the industry for others to follow. Our commitment is to provide quality design in a proactive, forward-thinking way & quickly! Our services also include site surveying, building analysis, tower analysis and line of sight surveys.
Shire originally started the geotechnical service to provide our own engineers with information on site, while the structural surveys were being carried out. This allowed us to offer a reactive, rapid response to our clients as a ‘one-stop shop’ for Design, Investigation and Construction.
As Structural Engineers, we have worked with the Property Insurance sector since 1998. We conduct structural inspections, impact damage analysis, specialist investigations and root cause analysis. All of which is engineer-led using straightforward language. Our experienced engineers are also asked to conduct Expert Reports and Expert Witness Service for homeowners and clients alike.
Shire offer a specialist building repair service registered under the Safe Contractor Accreditation and the Contractors Health & Safety Assessments schemes. In conjunction with our inspection & investigation services, we can offer a full solution from initial cause analysis through to structural repair.
