Drone Surveys PROJECT OVERVIEW
Internal Alterations and wall removal within a commercial restaurant application.
This project was based in a tenement at duke street where internal walls were required to be removed to add bathroom space for customers. The works also involved removing internal walls where new toilets, stores and customer sitting space was required. These alterations gave a more open plan view of the restaurant.
Steel frames and Beams on padstones were used to achieve these wall removals as the walls were load bearing. Where the wall removal was required to achieve an opening for customers to go to the toilets a beam was proposed on padstones. As the existing wall was weak in nature it was proposed that new engineering brick piers were to be constructed on pad foundations to achieve the bearing strength.
To provide more space internally a picture frame of 203 UB was proposed onto 100mm SHS columns. The frame was designed to be within the floor space.
We prepared and managed the necessary approvals including the building warrant process and provided an end to end service with as little disturbance to the client’s renovations.

Lead Structural Ltd have been appointed to conduct a structural assessment of the aforementioned commercial property in order to ascertain its suitability for a Solar PV Installation. This evaluation encompassed an on-site inspection, coupled with the systematic compilation of requisite data. Subsequently, calculations were executed pertaining to the extant roof loadings as well as those anticipated for the proposed Solar PV installation.
The on-site inspection was conducted under good weather conditions, encompassing a non-intrusive visual survey of all facets of the property. Particular emphasis was directed toward the roof and its underlying framework. A visual assessment encompassed of the property’s structural integrity, both externally and internally. This examination revealed that the primary structural components of the property remain in a good state for its age, and did not show significant signs of degradation or deflection. The roof was deemed to be in a sound condition for the use of the building as agricultural use.
In light of our on-site examination and subsequent design scrutiny, as delineated in sections below of this report, we conclude that the property’s roof and its associated structural framework are capable of accommodating the anticipated loadings stemming from the Solar PV installation. Provided the system is installed by direct fixing into the precast purlins. Fixings designed by others and is out with the scope of this report.The survey was performed for all the building with Roof 3, 4,5 6 & 7 as noted in fig 1a & 1b below. There is a possibility that roof 4 7 5 may be used for panels in the future.
