BJB Consulting is proud to be contributing its 25 years expertise in the Blue Light sector to the development of the new Cambridgeshire South Police HQ in Milton, a vital infrastructure project set to enhance policing capabilities in the region. With the site now live and construction progressing rapidly, our team has been instrumental in delivering innovative structural, drainage, and earthworks solutions to ensure the project’s long-term resilience and sustainability.
Strategic Earthworks Design for a Stable Foundation
Given the varied ground conditions at the site, our earthworks team developed a comprehensive design strategy to prepare the land for construction. This included precise ground grading, soil stabilization, and compaction measures to create a solid foundation for the buildings. By conducting detailed geotechnical assessments, we were able to mitigate risks associated with settlement and ground movement, ensuring structural integrity from the outset.
Robust Structural Solutions for Critical Infrastructure
As part of our structural engineering services, BJB Consulting has overseen the successful construction of foundations and the primary frame for key buildings within the HQ complex. Our approach focused on delivering a robust, adaptable framework that meets the demanding operational needs of a modern police facility. By utilizing advanced modelling and sustainable construction techniques, we have optimized material use while ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory standards.
Efficient and Sustainable Drainage Implementation
An essential aspect of the project has been the development of an advanced drainage system to manage surface water effectively. BJB Consulting has implemented a sustainable urban drainage system (SuDS) featuring permeable surfaces and underground attenuation tanks, reducing flood risks and minimizing environmental impact. The drainage design not only complies with local water management policies but also enhances the site’s resilience against extreme weather conditions.
A Landmark Development in Cambridgeshire’s Infrastructure
With significant progress already made on drainage, foundations, and primary structural elements, the Cambridgeshire South Police HQ is well on its way to completion. BJB Consulting is proud to be a key partner in this essential development, reinforcing our reputation as a leader in civil and structural engineering solutions for critical infrastructure projects.
As construction continues, we remain committed to delivering sustainable, high-quality engineering solutions that will support Cambridgeshire Police in serving the community for years to come.
