welcome to this edition of our magazine. Time really has flown since the last edition, probably because the last six months have been turbulent; as they say, “We live in interesting times”.

The changes in the political landscape since our last issue are monumental: Brexit is upon us; Cameron has gone, replaced by May; Trump has beaten Clinton, and the spectre of another Indyref is in the air. In the absence of a soothsayer, ‘spin the bottle’ may be the only forecasting tool of any use to businesses as the unthinkable seems to happen with increasing regularity; the only sure thing seems to be that change will happen.

Against this backdrop, businesses could be forgiven for hibernating, going to sleep until the world settles down or decides to grow up. However, I am glad to say that as far as we can see, that is not the case; the property market and construction industry still manage to function admirably. In spite of the uncertainty, we have found our clients are still busy, with reassuring commissions in the Private Sector for Commercial Offices, Retail and Residential projects coming our way. In the Public Sector, we are still busy with Schools, University and Healthcare projects.

Our cover story is about our commission for the design of a new home for the Prince & Princess of Wales hospice in the south side of Glasgow. It is pleasing to note that, even in these difficult times, they have managed to raise nearly £20m to cover the cost of the new facility, from charity donations. The fundraising is ongoing and a final push has commenced to reach their target. The hospice team is an amazing and committed group of people who really make a difference and we are delighted to be involved with their project, which will be such an asset when opened to patients and their families.

I trust you will find something of interest to you in this magazine and that the articles demonstrate our experience, capabilities and enthusiasm for engineering.

If we can be of assistance to help you realise your aims, please call us.

We believe in the value of a fully coordinated engineering design service; our in-house teams can provide engineering advice at every stage of your project.

Our geo-environmental engineers typically get involved at project inception, either as part of masterplanning or feasibility studies; or providing geo-technical, mining and contamination advice for land acquisition and pre-planning; through to detailed design and construction. The team works closely with our civil and structural engineers to promote efficient, sustainable ground solutions including remediation and earthwork designs.

Our civil engineers undertake site assessment and profiling using 3D modeling software, striving for sustainable ‘balanced volume’ earthworks design. They provide integrated roads and sustainable drainage solutions to help maximise a site’s potential.

Both teams work seamlessly with their structural engineering colleagues to design efficient and integrated solutions for substructures and superstructures. Our experience in the design of superstructures ranges from large and complex multi-use schemes to smaller bespoke projects.

Our specialist telecoms infrastructure team has been providing tower analysis and base-station site design for the industry leaders in the mobile communications sector since the mid-nineties. In this time, it has built an enviable reputation for ‘on time’ delivery in a fast moving sector.

We are delighted to work with clients from all business sectors and our main objective is to produce economic, welldesigned schemes with a clear engineering logic to them.

trends hotels

co n c r e t e s e rvi ce Recent statistics show that Glasgow was the fifth most visited city in the UK last year! In support of this growing market, a number of new hotels have arrived or are under construction and Woolgar Hunter is delighted to be involved in the design of a number of these.

It is particularly exciting to be involved in two hotel projects within the City which are coming out of the ground at the same time. Slightly ahead with a few month head start, is the 12-storey Motel One development which is being constructed by Ogilvie Construction adjacent to the historic Central Station, right in the heart of the City. A short distance away, beside the iconic SECC Hydro at Finnieston Quay, Balfour Beatty recently broke ground on the 10-storey Radisson Red (the first purpose-built Red for Radisson in Europe) developed by Forrest Hotels, part of the Glasgow based Forrest Group.

Interestingly, even though designed by different teams within the office, both structural frames developed as reinforced concrete. Concrete, as every school child knows, is ‘a composite material composed of coarse aggregate, bonded together with a fluid cement that hardens over time’ [Obviously! - Ed].

It was first used successfully as a structural material in building by the Romans and in modern times, the addition of steel reinforcing bars to provide tensile strength to concrete elements has allowed designers more freedom in their design. We know concrete is a fantastic material but LAYOUT took this opportunity to ask

‘Why is concrete particularly suited to hotel construction?’

6 | layout Woolgar Hunter Magazine | winter 2016/17 |

Tech talk Many Hotel buildings have a similar layout, simple bedroom-corridor-bedroom arrangement across the floor plate which allows the bedrooms to have natural daylight. Structurally, this provides a short double-span which lends itself to a thin floor construction.

Thin floors are ideal in tall buildings as they help keep the overall height of the building down, which saves money on expensive elevations and helps secure planning permission. Another scenario is that if a predetermined height of building is set by city Planners, the accommodation could be maximised by potentially gaining an extra floor of rooms within the allowable height by using a slim concrete solution.

In highly-serviced buildings like offices, the overall floor zone is governed more by the building services than the structure, meaning the saving is not realised, but on hotels. where the services are concentrated (along corridors within dropped ceilings), the structural floor depths are critical.

Short spans suit concrete and allows for efficient thin ‘flat’ concrete floor stabs to be designed, typically around 220mm deep in hotel construction. A ‘flat’ slab is one with no downstand beams, which allows for a quick and easy installation of M&E equipment with great future flexibility. This type of arrangement cannot be done with steel, which lends itself to longer spans as it is more elastic and very efficient if downstand beams can be incorporated into the design.

Key benefits of concrete frames is that they have inherent acoustic properties which can negate the need for applied fire protection finishes and reduces the acoustic detailing over a steel framed solution. Pre-casting concrete columns to save on curing time; avoiding down-stands to allow the use of table formwork; and slip forming the structural cores, all help shorten construction programme.

These factors allow the concrete frame to be competitive with steel timewise. Architects ADF Partnership and Leach Rhodes Walker on the Radisson and Motel One projects respectively, bought into these advantages to allow efficient concrete solutions to be developed.

Concrete is obviously not the only answer for hotel construction; we designed the recently opened low-rise DeVere Leisure Village (which is near the Radission Red site) as a steel frame, but over six storeys, concrete is hard to beat!

Most readers will be aware of the Structural Engineers Registration Ltd (SER), which is a scheme for the Certification of Design (Building Structures) in Scotland. Introduced in 2005, the scheme allows self-certification of compliance with the building regulations by Approved Certifiers, effectively by‑passing the Building Control approval process for structural elements.

From time to time, SER implements updates to the scheme and whilst the effects of these are often ‘unseen’ by the wider project team, the most recent changes could have potentially significant impacts. Malcolm Buchanan, one of Woolgar Hunter’s Approved Certifiers, explains.

The SER scheme previously allowed detailed calculations for specialist contractor design portion (CDP) items such as piling, timber kits, cladding systems etc., to be provided during the Warrant process, once the specialist subcontractor is on board. This was achieved by the Project Engineer providing performance criteria for the CDP and checking the detailed calculations when submitted by the specialist contractor, before Warrant signoff. This was catered for by naming the design element as a permitted ‘Schedule 1’ CDP item. and then signing off the design via the ‘Form Q’ certificate of Completion of Design, at the end of the project. This allowed Warrants to be fully granted in advance of all elements being designed.

The new changes will now link the level of checking and the permitted Schedule 1 items to the Risk Group of the building, with five Risk Groups being defined. These Groups identify the size & complexity of a structure and typically range from simple house construction at the lower-end to more complex buildings over 15 storeys at the upper-end.

The building Risk Group determines the requirements for checking of the design (and Certification options) and the elements which may be included on Schedule 1. It is therefore critical that the Risk Group is identified at the outset of every project as this will dictate how the certification will proceed.

8 | layout Woolgar Hunter Magazine | winter 2016/17 |

“

The new guidelines mean possible delays in the Warrant process and will require the use of staged Warrant submissions.

”

Whilst the changes will affect the checking and certification process itself, the most significant impact on the wider project team is the new restriction on permitted ‘Schedule 1’ items.

Unless the design of these elements is undertaken concurrently with the overall building design, it is anticipated that this will probably result in the need for an additional Warrant stage on many projects, e.g. a ‘Secondary Structure’ stage that could only be submitted postcontract, once the CDP elements have been designed.

This will make the timeous receipt of design calculations and drawings for such elements critical, because SER Certification cannot be undertaken without these. Indeed, to allow sufficient time for review of design calculations, SER Certification and the subsequent Warrant stage application process, it is likely that specialist sub-contractors will need to be appointed earlier, to ensure the Warrant is approved in time for particular works commencing on site. This will need to be factored into the procurement arrangement for projects, to avoid the risk of associated delays.

case study

BRICK by BRICK

Building a new home for the Prince & Princess of Wales hospice

Our cover storey is an inspirational one: the fundraising and design of the new home for the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow.

Woolgar Hunter has been involved in the design of the hospice in Glasgow since its inception and was delighted to see the process culminate with a start

on site by Balfour Beatty in October 2016.

This signalled the closing act on a remarkable fundraising journey by the hospice staff to raise the lion’s share of £21m needed to fund the new build.

The hospice approached us in the Spring of 2011 and we have provided engineering design advice throughout the evolution of the project. From the outset, we understood the significance of this commission and that it was no ordinary project for us.

Rhona Baillie, the Chief Executive of the hospice, personally took the engineers who would work on the project around the existing hospice on the banks of the Clyde allowing us the privilege of meeting staff, patients and visitors.

Buy a Brick is the latest phase of the £21M ‘Brick by Brick’ appeal. Go on, Grab your Mobile and scan the following Q.R. code or text BRICK to 70660 to donate £5. www.princeandprincessofwaleshospice.org.uk

It was a memorable experience for all who took part. Our philosophy is always to work closely with the client and design team in a collaborative manner, to deliver the most appropriate, economic design solution.

Probably more than any other project we have been involved in and reinforced

by Rhona’s guided tour, the importance of the delicate balance of cost and design was apparent. The largely selffunded hospice aspires to design excellence to provide each visitor with the best facilities and experience possible.

Throughout the design process our aim has been to provide a first class engineering design in an economic manner.

case study engineering a dream This project is an exciting one from an engineering perspective especially as it sits in the excellent location of Bellahouston Park, one of Glasgow’s famous green spaces.

Set within a former plant nursery in the park, the site is rented to the hospice by the supportive Glasgow City Council for a peppercorn rent.

Our initial input involved working with the Ryder Architects to locate the building within the site. We considered a variety of influences in this process such as access, visibility, ground conditions and site levels (the site is situated on a slope, being located on one of Glasgow’s drumlins) before agreeing on the final location.

As part of this process, our civil engineers built a three-dimensional ground model to allow us to finely adjust ground levels to minimise the amount of material required to be taken off, or indeed, brought onto site. In cost and sustainability terms, the perfect solution is a balanced cut-and-fill earthworks exercise i.e. you reshape the ground contours using only the material on site. In this instance, the team has pretty much achieved this objective.

“

We will be the first hospice in the UK to follow the Sengetun model of care, which has placemaking at the centre of its approach.

This innovative state-of-the-art Scandinavian design puts patients and families first, and provides space for privacy, dignity and compassionate care for all ages. It is based on research that shows the aesthetic design of a healthcare facility has a measurable impact on patients’ wellbeing.

Rhona Baillie

As with vast areas of the south of Glasgow, the new site of the hospice sits over old coal workings at depth. Our geotechnical engineers have designed a consolidation scheme to stabilse the old mine workings (essentially grouting them up!) to allow the foundations of the new building to be safely built over them.

As part of the building setting, the architect has nestled it into the hillside to minimise the visual impact. The use of a concrete frame has enabled this to be done simply by turning up the ground slab to create retaining walls, defining the building footprint and allowing the hillside to be retained in an economic fashion.

”

Ryder Architects have designed a fantastic building internally and externally. Our structural engineers have worked with them to seamlessly insert a concrete skeleton within the building.

The concrete frame is designed with flat soffits to the floor slabs to ensure we do not have downstand beams. This aids Atelier Ten, the M&E consultants, in providing an efficient building services system throughout the ceiling void by removing potential beam/service run clashes. The flat soffits also provide excellent flexibility of the internal spaces.

If, in the future, room layouts require to be adjusted to allow the building to continue to meet the changing needs of community throughout its life, the absence of the downstand beams will be a major advantage.

REPORTED CYBER-CRIME IS ON THE RISE! SMEs are you ready? Large-scale attacks on major companies such as Yahoo, Talk Talk, and most recently, Tesco Bank grab the headlines. However, cyber-attacks in various forms are happening daily against businesses of all sizes. Large organisations are still much more likely to be attacked, but it’s clear that the focus of cyber criminals is shifting towards the SMEs. Woolgar Hunter employs Dunedin IT, a specialist IT network & security consultant, to advise-on and put in-place measures to protect them.

Layout caught up with David Inglis, MD of Dunedin IT for his thoughts on the issue. His comments make interesting, if not worrying reading!

LAYOUT: Could you summarise the IT security issues currently affecting SMEs? David: In short, the risk of SMEs being exposed to cyber attack is increasing.

Experts are warning that not only are SMEs now firmly in the crosshairs of cyber-criminals, they are fast becoming their favoured target and are often woefully unprepared.

In 2012, small businesses were only targeted 22% of the time. By 2014, that number had scaled to 74 % with another substantial increase in 2016.

The impact on businesses whose systems are breached has forced the EU member governments to act. The General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) and the Network Information Security Directive (‘NISD’) are EU government regulations which are likely to come into force in 2018 and businesses (whether they are large or small) along with their approach to IT Cyber-Security will become the subject of even greater scrutiny and

could attract in some circumstances large fines where not enough action has been taken to protect business or client data.

Denial of Service Attack: A company’s website is overwhelmed by a volume of data pushed to its servers in a malicious manner.

LAYOUT: What are the common types

Human Error: People are generally the weakest link in any security chain, a vast number of data breaches are the result of information being lost, or distributed to the wrong person. Even the seemingly mundane can have far reaching consequences, particularly where sensitive PII is involved and can have far-reaching consequences.

of attacks faced by SMEs? David: Currently, the most common cyber threats to UK SMEs include: Ransomware: A piece of malicious software, typically received via a phishing email, encrypts all the data on the company’s network, with the perpetrators requesting a ransom (typically in Bitcoin) in order to provide the decryption key.

Hack Attack: Hackers gain access to a company’s network, typically by exploiting an unpatched vulnerability within the software, allowing them access to the company or client data. The target will generally be Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on a company’s Financial Billing or CRM platform.

12 | layout Woolgar Hunter Magazine | winter 2016/17 | Guest Article: Hacked

CEO Fraud: A criminal poses as a senior person within the firm, either by hacking or ‘spoofing’ their email account, and convinces someone with financial authority to make a payment to an account controlled by the criminal. This type of hack is today very common and in 2016 alone, it is estimated that around 74% of SMEs were targeted by this type of attack.

LAYOUT: Now you have suitably terrified us, what should we do?

1.

Does your business have Firewalls to protect your network computers from external attack?

David: Well, my advice is to copy Woolgar Hunter and contact an IT adviser before you have a problem, preferably me!

2.

Are you protected by up-to-date Antivirus software?

3.

Are you keeping the Operating Systems and key Business Applications updated?

4.

Are you encrypting your important data?

5.

Are you backing up your data?

6.

Do you have a Disaster Recovery Plan?

That said, there are a number of simple steps you can take.

Remember that how businesses prepare for and manage a security breach can make an enormous difference to mitigating the reputational and financial consequences. It is becoming increasingly important to demonstrate to clients, and regulatory bodies that steps were taken to protect your, or your clients’ data.

As an absolute minimum, we would recommend that SMEs quickly put themselves into a position where they can answer yes to the following basic questions:

Once these are in place they can then consider the following further measures: Government Cyber Essentials Scheme: Consider improving security by subscribing to this government-backed scheme, which if adopted could assist in stopping around 75% of cyber breaches by implementing some of the basics.

Consider Cyber Insurance: Contact your Insurance company.

Risk Assessment: Use competent IT staff/ contractors to analyse and identify the relevant data, networks and assets that need to be secure. Applying software patches automatically closes that open window before a hacker can use it to access your network.

IT Systems Policies and Procedures: Ensure that the security controls are embedded into your business operations.

YOU GOT...

HACKED

Education and Training: Raise your employees’ awareness and understanding of the risk and ensure that they are fully aware of what IT policies and procedures you have in place.

Monitoring and Checking: Monitor the performance of the systems and the controls you put in place. Check staff and suppliers as they come on-board and exit the business to ensure that they are not being used indirectly by a hacker.

Develop an Incident Response Plan & Test: Undertake scenario planning and simulation exercises to better respond to a breach, should one occur.

Develop a Business Continuity Plan: This should identify who in the organisation will be responsible for handling the breaches and the steps that should be taken to ensure a co-ordinated and cost efficient response.

LAYOUT : Thanks David, good advice. As a final point, what in your opinion is the biggest single threat to SMEs in dealing with cyber security threats?

David: Complacency! Instead of telling yourself a cyber attack will not happen to your company, you should ask yourself “how will we respond when it does happen to our company?”

As cyber security threats increase all over the world, we are seeing a significant shift within UK SMEs and how their owners view IT security. Specifically, we are seeing businesses ramping up their security efforts and making the issue a much bigger priority. Are you?

our teams building structures We have four divisions within Woolgar Hunter: Building Structures, Civil Engineering, Geo-environmental Engineering and Telecoms.

In the last issue we featured our specialist Telecoms team and spoke with Cameron Murray who runs that team. In this issue LAYOUT caught up with Peter Hendry who runs one of the Building Structures teams within the Glasgow office.

Woolgar Hunter, we are “ Atengineers first and last �

14 | layout Woolgar Hunter Magazine | winter 2016/17 | Our Teams: Building Structures

Peter Hendry’s team is busy and has a healthy projected workload. In the recent past, they have delivered new HQ buildings for energy companies INEOS and the Wood Group at Grangemouth and Aberdeen respectively.

They are currently delivering the design of Morgan Stanley’s new HQ and a new 150,000ft2 grade ‘A’ office on the former BHS site; both in the heart of Glasgow.

However, commercial offices are not the only string to their bow, indeed working with Stallan-Brand architects, they are designing a large retail element as part of the redevelopment of the BHS site for developers Coleby Investments Ltd. The team is also working on the Clydebank Leisure Centre which was topped-out in October 2016. The cantilevering steel frame with floor height trusses helps to form a box within the triangular site; the team is literally fitting a square peg into a triangle! Working closely with Kennedy Fitzgerald architects from Belfast and the main contractor, BAM, the team has designed a structure that will host a swimming pool with eight badminton courts above it, dance studios together with changing facilities and administration areas.

Kenny Irvine is the senior engineer charged with ensuring the peg fits!

Not to be outdone, another of Peter’s team, David Graham has recently completed a high profile project with a gym area – this time in the unusual setting of an exhibition hall. The Kelvin Hall is a Victorian icon in Glasgow’s West End which has hosted fun fairs, circuses and even European indoor athletic meets.

However that is in the past. After a sensitive restoration designed by Page and Park architects, the first phase of the project opened recently to critical acclaim. David says, “much of our work is hidden, sensitive repairs to the old structure and creating space within it to thread a myriad of services to create internal conditions suitable to house the new museum archive stores and new gym facilities. The great thing about working on this project is that all Glaswegians know it, have been in it and have a story about it.

To be involved in this project gives you a real sense of pride and history”.

our teams due recognition...

Peter Hendry runs one of the Building Structures teams in our Glasgow office.

He has gained a wealth of experience in a relatively short time, working with a large consultancy in Glasgow following graduation. He then moved to Saudi Arabia with them to gain valuable life experience before moving to London to join AKT Partnership. Eventually, seeing sense, he joined Woolgar Hunter a number of years ago and is thriving running his own team of talented engineers.

In recognition of his success, Peter was recently made a Director of Woolgar Hunter and is an active member of the Management Board directing the business.

Peter says: “The step-up has been a pleasure and an eye-opener.

Although my main responsibility is delivering engineering solutions, I now have an overview of the business which is interesting and exciting. At Woolgar Hunter, we are engineers first and last, which for me is the only way to run an engineering design company. We have a strong portfolio of work and the team to deliver it.”

about us

What’s on at Woolgar Hunter?

LAYOUT knows that the best way to keep up to date with what is going on in any organisation is to have a coffee, or in this case tea and a chat with one of the players.

We caught up with Patricia Bryson, Head of geo-environmental engineering and asked her, “What’s going on at Woolgar Hunter?”

Patricia, sips thoughtfully before telling us, “actually quite a lot”. She says that repeat business is still strong, “an example of this is a recent new commission for two new student accommodation projects for the University of St Andrews, which for us is excellent, coming on the back of the new sport pavilion and pitch facilities which we have just completed at the University.” Patricia says she is especially pleased that one of the accommodation projects is called the Agnes Blackadder Halls in celebration of the first female graduate from the University in 1895, who went on to become a respected surgeon.

In the same sector she says that “We have been commissioned on the refurbishment / extension of the old Stow College building for the Mackintosh School of Art. I know my structural colleagues are pretty pleased with this one as they are being allowed to play with cables and rods in the new roof”, she smiles - the rivalry between the disciplines within the office is obviously healthy!

Patricia changes tack, “Another pleasing note is that the office market is still busy for us. The new pre-let Morgan Stanley HQ is coming along at pace and a planning application was submitted for a new office to replace Corunna House in Cadogan Street. By the time you read this we are hoping planning permission will have been obtained for the revamping of the former BHS site in the heart of Glasgow, with a new office building anchoring the mixed used development.

A little further afield, we have four projects at the design stage in London for Shurgard, having just handed over a building for them late last year. In Ireland, the new bottling hall and grain distillery project we have for Wm Grant & Sons, is now on site. Piling is now complete - lots of peat on this site which is keeping my team busy. I am delighted that we have recently secured two large masterplanning projects: one west of Glasgow and one in the east”. Patricia is obviously delighted with these two projects involving “Proper Engineering - Moving muck around”.

She finishes her tea with a flourish, suddenly reminded how much she has to look at!
