OUR WORK

WAKEFIELD CATHEDRAL
SPIRE AERIAL SURVEY


Architect Thomas Ford & Partners contacted us to conduct a drone survey to assess the structural integrity of the cathedral spire. The condition of the roof tiles on the spire had not been assessed for the past 50 years and to avoid costly and time consuming investigations involving scaffolding and cherry pickers, it was decided that drones would be used. 

What made the whole operations much more interesting was the fact that Wakefield Cathedral spire has a thriving peregrine falcon family, hence the whole project needed to be co-ordinated with the local 

” Atom Consultants provided much valued assistance to our Project Management team throughout this major redevelopment of an established operational site. “

OTHER PROJECTS

Vauxhall Underground Station- London

The Vauxhall Underground Station modernisation is part of Transport for London’s ongoing investment into London’s public transport network to support economic growth and employment opportunities.

The £36m project entailed reconfiguration of the station’s ticket hall to accommodate extra ticket gates and wide-aisle gates, as well as the refurbishment of the stations’ subways, ticket hall and stairs. The main part of the project was to make the access to the station step-free, enabling the station to handle 40% more passengers by installing a new shaft and lift between the ticket hall and platforms. A particular challenge was posed by the station remaining fully operational while the construction work took place between 2014 and 2016.

To minimise disruption to this ‘live’ site, a modular approach was adopted. All components of the build were pre-fabricated, starting from the structural steel wall and roof panels and ending with the beautiful western red cedar clad external facade.
