BSP has continued its links with one of the UK’s most well-known retailers by taking a key role in a scheme to build a new bridge for Dunelm.
The company was the civil and structural engineer for the £8m Dunelm HQ at Watermead Business Park, Syston, Leicester – completed in 2011.
BSP also provided full structural and civil engineering services on the project to build a Dunelm store in Nottingham, on Queens Drive, which opened in 2016.
Now BSP Consulting has been involved in another scheme for the major retailer – this time helping to build a new bridge for Dunelm which links two buildings at its headquarters site.
Designed by architects CPMG, the bridge was formed using two Vierendeel trusses and designed to seamlessly sit between the two existing wings of offices.
It was constructed in Spring 2021 and other members of the design team included Couch Perry Wilkes.
BSP’s MD Carl Hilton said: “We have had a long-standing relationship with Dunelm, one of the UK’s key retail giants, and a renowned East Midlands business.
We were very pleased to be part of the team building a new bridge for Dunelm at the company’s headquarters, where BSP last worked a decade ago.”
