RootBase S-Range - Temporary Classroom

The client had specified a modular structure to be used as a temporary library. When looking at the foundations, a traditional foundation was cost prohibitive due to the depth of the trenches. As the structure was on the grounds of a school, disruption had to be kept to a minimum.

Yarm School have successfully worked in association with Shire’s Consulting Team for over 10 years. Shire have been the engineering consultants for the entire 11 years on all projects covering the structure, civil engineering, ground investigation & drainage.

As a home owner I have used the Resin Injection service provided by Shire twice to improve the ground conditions on my home. Prior to choosing Shire I had quotations from other resin injection companies, but Shire stood out by a large margin.

Time was taken onsite to fully understand the problem and explain the proposed solution. A competitive quotation soon followed. The work and professionalism demonstrated by Marc and Mike onsite was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and they didn't leave site until I was happy with the work performed. I am happy with the end results and would highly recommend the Shire team and the solutions they offer.
