Bannview House Nursing Home, Banbridge
Doran Consulting provided civil, structural and traffic engineering services for this 80 bedroom, purpose-built care home for older people requiring general or dementia nursing care, which is situated in a rural setting less than a mile from Banbridge town centre.
The building is a load bearing masonry structure supported on traditional strip foundations. Loose steelwork beams were required to trim service openings in the precast concrete hollowcore floors and to support the timber roof trusses above.
