This unique project — re-imagining a nationally significant landmark — requires outstanding and experienced structural engineering consultancy, dedicated to working with the museum to deliver a successful project between now and 2022. As well as a challenging planning history which makes conservation of the existing structures a key feature of the project, the sub level infrastructure of the Smithfield site is complex, unique and creates a variety of design and access constraints. For example, a live railway line dissects the site and as a consequence areas of the site have a limited load capacity. The budget will be in the range of 130 GBP-150 000 000 GBP (including inflation and contingency) for construction.
