📡 Innovative Telecoms Foundation Remediation 📡

Shire Telecom was recently appointed by Circet to deliver a remedial foundation solution for a legacy Midi equipment cabin affected by long-term settlement caused by poor ground conditions.

Initial proposals anticipated a full cabin removal and replacement piled foundation. However, Shire’s specialist foundation team developed an alternative, value-engineered solution using our patented Shire micro pile and jacking head system to successfully re-level the existing foundation in situ.

By avoiding full replacement works, Shire was able to minimise service outages, maintain site operation for the majority of the project, and deliver significant cost savings for the Operator — all while restoring long-term structural stability.

A fantastic example of how innovative engineering and specialist contracting can redefine what’s possible within the telecoms sector.

🎓 Supporting Future Design Talent for 16 Years 🎓

Shire is proud to continue its long-standing partnership with Heart of Worcester College as part of their Foundation Degree in Digital Media and Games Design.

Now in our 16th year, we’re delighted to support students by assessing their end-of-year project submissions — and once again, the creativity, technical ability, and innovation on display continue to impress.

Each year, students are challenged to interpret a live project brief: designing an annex building within the grounds of Shire UK’s headquarters in Bromsgrove, culminating in detailed design proposals and immersive fly-through presentations.

It’s always inspiring to see fresh perspectives brought to real-world design challenges, and we’re proud to play a small part in helping nurture the next generation of creative professionals.

🌱 The King’s School Carbon Off-Setting Project – Part Three: Build 🌱

With the design finalised, Shire moved into the build phase — turning sustainable plans into a real-world community asset.

The project began with a full drainage CCTV survey to assess existing infrastructure, protect site integrity, and ensure no hidden defects could compromise the works. From there, the team stripped back existing surfacing, established new levels, introduced and compacted hardcore sub-base materials, and installed the bespoke recycled composite planter system.

The final stages included sustainably sourced timber cladding and integrated seating, bringing the sensory garden to life as a safe, durable, and engaging outdoor space for pupils.

This build phase demonstrates how innovative planning, recycled materials, and community-focused engineering can create lasting social value while delivering meaningful, transparent carbon offsetting.

🌱 The King’s School Carbon Off-Setting Project – Part Two: Design 🌱

With the project vision established, the next stage focused on creating a sustainable, practical design that would transform an unused outdoor area into a safe sensory garden for pupils.

The Plan:

✔️ Strip the 200m² area by 150mm, with all excavated soil re-assigned across school grounds to eliminate landfill waste

✔️ Construct bespoke planters using the Shire Recycled Composite Panelling System, increasing planter height by an additional 150mm to accommodate surfacing materials

✔️ Backfill the area with 80mm MOT Type 1, compacted using vibrating plate technology for a durable sub-base

✔️ Leave the final surface 70mm below finished level, ready for the school’s tarmac installation

✔️ Install topsoil within planters and finish with sustainably sourced timber cladding and integrated seating

Through detailed technical drawings, Shire demonstrated how our recycled composite panelling system — traditionally used for retaining walls — can be innovatively adapted to create attractive, durable, and environmentally responsible community spaces.

This design reflects our commitment to:

🌍 Sustainable engineering
♻️ Material reuse
🏫 Community investment
🌱 Transparent carbon offsetting

Because meaningful sustainability is about building spaces that benefit both people and the planet.

🌱 Carbon Off-Setting Through Community Action 🌱

At Shire, we believe carbon responsibility should be transparent, meaningful, and directly beneficial to local communities. Rather than purchasing generic carbon credits, we invest our time, expertise, and resources into projects that create lasting environmental and social value.

Our second carbon offsetting initiative proudly supports The King’s School, Fair Oak, Hampshire — a registered charitable independent school providing inclusive education for children of all backgrounds, including those with additional learning needs.

Project Aim:

1️⃣ Project Purpose & Charitable Context
Delivering pro-bono groundworks and landscaping to support the school’s outdoor learning and wellbeing environment, while aligning with Shire’s wider CSR and community engagement objectives.

2️⃣ Scope of Works
Transforming an unused, muddy, waterlogged area into a safe, stimulating sensory garden with planters, seating, and landscaped spaces.

3️⃣ Operational Delivery
Managing the full project during the Easter holiday period with strict H&S controls, ensuring work is completed efficiently within a school environment.

4️⃣ Safeguarding Requirements
All works are delivered in line with school safeguarding policies, child safety standards, and site segregation protocols, with DBS-approved staff where required.

5️⃣ Intended Outcomes
Creating a durable, child-friendly external space that enhances the school’s facilities while delivering measurable social value and charitable impact.

This project reflects our commitment to sustainable engineering, social responsibility, and creating spaces that truly make a difference.

💚 Last Week was Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

At Shire, we recognise that strong foundations aren’t just built in engineering — they’re built within our people too.

Mental health matters every day, and this week is an important reminder to support one another, encourage open conversations, and prioritise wellbeing both in and out of the workplace.

By fostering a positive, supportive environment, we can help create healthier teams, stronger communities, and a better future for everyone.

🏗️ Blending Heritage with Modern Engineering 🏗️

Shire’s Structural Engineering Consultancy Team was proud to provide structural and civil engineering services for the demolition and redevelopment of this impressive project — delivering ten new Almshouse apartments alongside valuable communal spaces.

Designed by KKE Architects and constructed by Interclass, the scheme involved a highly technical brief: retaining the original front and partial side façades of the historic building while demolishing and reconstructing the structure behind.

This required careful planning and innovative engineering to ensure the retained façades remained stable throughout demolition and were successfully integrated into the new two-storey development.

The final build features:
✔️ Load-bearing masonry and steel frame construction
✔️ Precast concrete first floor units
✔️ Suspended beam and block ground floor
✔️ Traditional mass concrete foundations
✔️ External steel-framed balcony and stair structure

Projects like this demonstrate how thoughtful engineering can preserve elements of architectural heritage while creating practical, modern spaces for future generations.
