case study

Shrewsbury School

Complex large arches throughout this new building at Shrewsbury School, accumulating in a magnificent 12 metre ​wide arch across the entrance with a deep soffit return.
Shrewsbury school was one of the biggest technical challenges we have faced yet!

The large arches at high level were complex brick cutting and fabrication with 12 course high and 3 brick deep soffits. However, the best was yet to come with the Architect wanting to create a Segmental arch across the front entrance to the building that spanned more than 12 meters and again required a deep soffit return.

The design team on the project included the Main Contractor, Structural Engineer, Architect and Brick supplier to ensure we were able to meet all their requirements can fabricating a stainless steel lintel in three pieces that enabled the brick arch to be transported to site before being assembled under our supervision and then rotated into position.

​The finish was well worth all the hours of discussion on how best to achieve it and is one arch we are rightly proud to have been involved in creating!
