Structural Propping Designed Around Your Project
Temporary works propping supports a structure while demolition or alteration work changes its existing support arrangements. The scheme needs to reflect both the building’s condition and the sequence of work.
Bradley brings together structural propping, demolition and alteration experience to help coordinate these activities within one project.
Structural Propping During Demolition
Partial demolition can require sections of a building to remain supported while surrounding elements are removed. We coordinate propping with the demolition sequence, taking account of the retained structure and the planned stages of work.
This joined-up approach helps manage the relationship between temporary support and the demolition activities it enables.
Temporary Propping Design
Every building presents different constraints. Temporary propping design needs to consider the existing structure, the proposed alterations and how the work will be carried out.
Bradley works with Thomas Consulting to develop engineered support schemes for individual projects. Our management team coordinates the design requirements with site access, working arrangements and the wider programme.
Support for Structural Alterations
Structural alterations may require temporary support while existing elements are modified or removed. Planning the propping alongside the alteration works helps establish how the structure will be supported throughout the project.
Bradley combines structural propping with its structural alterations service, coordinating the support requirements with the planned changes to the building.
Heritage Buildings & Complex Refurbishment
Work on historic and retained buildings calls for careful coordination between protection, temporary support and the proposed alterations.
Our project experience includes listed buildings and complex refurbishment schemes where temporary works form part of a wider package of protection, soft strip and demolition activities.
