Structural Engineer in Watford

Watford is a major Hertfordshire town with a housing stock that includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the central areas, inter-war semis in Oxhey, Carpenders Park, and the wider suburbs, and more recent private development on the town's edges. The town has seen significant regeneration interest in recent years with new residential development in the town centre.

The London clay that underlies much of southern Hertfordshire creates the familiar seasonal shrinkage risk for extension foundations. The River Colne and its tributaries create flood risk in some riverside locations, and the Colne valley gravel terrace has different, more granular foundation conditions than the clay elsewhere. The chalk of the Chilterns is within range to the north-west.
