Structural Engineer in Cambridge

Cambridge is a globally significant university city with an exceptional concentration of historic architecture. Beyond the university colleges and their Grade I and II listed buildings, the city has substantial Victorian and Edwardian residential areas — Romsey, Newnham, and Mill Road — that contain terraced and semi-detached properties popular for loft conversions and extensions.

The Fens and the River Cam introduce low-lying, potentially waterlogged ground conditions in some areas of Cambridge, and foundation design for properties near the river must account for flood risk and high water table. The chalk that underlies parts of the city provides firm conditions at depth. The chalk is sometimes overlain by alluvial and glacial deposits.
