These photos show a typical cantilever canopy and a small stainless steel and glass shelter, both for use on the Rail Network.

Shelters at Ebbsfleet

These photos show a small shelter close to a high speed rail network and a much larger shelter at the same site.

RB Designs Ltd have undertaken work for walkways and shelters at bus termini including the Rotunda and Linear Walkways at Bluewater and covered walkways at National Airports such as Heathrow, Manchester and Dublin. RB Designs Ltd has also had involvement in design work for products used at military establishments nationwide and sun shade and rain shelters for use in Hong Kong.

Bluewater Rotunda and Linear Walkways

Bluewater Rotunda

The circular structure is steel framed introducing torsional and deflection problems. The site also had piled foundations provided by others and only three piles were available for this structure.

Bluewater Shelters/Walkways

Both open and closed shelters/walkways were designed for use in Bluewater’s bus termini.

Other works include access roads and drainage and repair/renovation of access bridge structures and culverts.

Bridges

The two photographs indicate a small arch bridge in a quiet residential area that had been seriously damaged resulting in the need to underpin and rebuild/repair and the need to ‘overpump’ the stream during the works.

Testimonials

"Absolutely excellent service and advice. RB Designs couldn't have been more helpful from first contact to completion. Cliff visited us and was a pleasure to deal with and provided us with excellent advice, drawings and reassurance that our building works could be completed after being let down by contractors. We would recommend them wholeheartedly."

"We employed R B Designs to do the structural calculations for our loft conversion. Their work has been impeccable with exceptionally friendly and approachable customer service. Our project was a little complicated but R B Designs were extremely helpful and went above and beyond what we had expected of them. We will most certainly be using Sue and Cliff for all our future projects."
Rachel
"We have recently undertaken structural engineering plans, party wall and also revised structural engineering plans and I really cannot fault the customer service levels and the ability to talk through complexities of party wall agreement which were made very simple. Also great to have a company that can do designs, party wall and engineering designs all in one place especially during Covid 19 . Sue Watkins was absolutely brilliant. Thank you."
