- Clayton Hotel
Our journey begins with the Clayton Hotel project, a testament to our expertise in complex, multi-faceted hybrid strengthening solutions. This particular undertaking was challenging due to the ‘live working environment,’ requiring meticulous planning and execution. Collaborating with the esteemed engineering firm WSP, we successfully implemented a strengthening solution that met the high standards of both functionality and aesthetics. The project stands as a beacon of our ability to navigate and execute in dynamic, operational settings.
