Link were appointed by the client to carry out remedial works to a historic masonry retaining wall at their Ablewell Street site in Walsall. The wall required essential works to restore the structural integrity of defective areas and was strengthened with new structural elements.

Our proactive approach and technical knowledge not only safeguarded the structure but also delivered substantial savings for the client compared to advice the client had obtained previously, underlining our commitment to practical, efficient engineering solutions.

Pigeon appointed Link to support their planning application for a 50,000 sq ft industrial unit situated close to the M25 at Waltham Cross, Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.   

The site is seen as important for local and regional economic growth and is predicted to generate over £4.0m in social impact, mainly through the provision of local jobs and environmental commitments. 

The FA commissioned Link Engineering to offer structural and civil engineering services for the construction of Three Lions Yard at St George’s Park in Needwood, Burton on Trent. The project involved building a new storage facility and the infrastructure for access, parking, and the service yard. Link’s role stared from the very initial scoping stage of the project through to the planning application and on site delivery.

The proposed site was located on the former ground staff depot which was fully replaced by the new facility. The ground staff needs were integrated into the new scheme along with FA required uses including analytical room and equipment storage.

The surface water drainage system was designed utilising SuDS with a restricted connection to the existing site outfall. Foundations were traditional pads founded on near surface competent materials.

Following the tender process, TanRo were appointed on a Design and Build contract and Link was novated to them. As part of the contract phase of the scheme Link provided full civil and structural engineering services supporting TanRo with the successful completion and handover of the project to the FA.

Goodman instructed Link on the development of a new 400,000sqft Amazon Fulfilment Centre. Our engineers were required to work on a short time scale to overlap of construction procurement with design activity onsite which included varying ground conditions.

We utilised our expertise to overcome significant planning and drainage issues as well as working within Amazon layout constraints.

Working closely with Goodman, Amazon and Winvic Construction, we developed appropriate civil and structural engineering solutions to engineering challenges relating earthworks, foundations, floor, structure, drainage, roadways and yard.

Birmingham Health Partners are leading the development of a new Institute of Translational Medicine (ITM), a new world class clinical research facility in Birmingham.

The centre helps progress the very latest scientific research findings from Birmingham University into enhanced treatments for patients across a range of major health issues including cancer and liver disease.

The Institute builds on Birmingham’s excellent track record in clinical trials by increasing capacity and enables more patients to be co-located alongside clinicians and researchers. It also makes it easier for both SME and large pharma and biotechnology firms to work more closely with clinicians and academics, bringing additional investment into the city.

Link was appointed to provide detailed Structural (both sub and superstructure) and Civil Engineering design for the construction of the Portway Lifestyle Centre, Oldbury.

The works comprised of the demolition of the existing Leisure facilities at Newbury Lane, Oldbury and to construct a new build health and social wellbeing centre comprising Leisure Centre and Health Centre incorporating GP surgeries. The Health Centre was a collaboration of 9 GP surgeries and other specialist health providers (Asthma; COPD; Coronary heart disease; Diabetes) to become the new local Hub. The proposed leisure centre facilities included: Gym; Dance Studio; Climbing Wall; Sports Hall; Hydrotherapy Pool; 3G Football Pitches; Sensory Room; Sensory Garden and Community Café.
