SYNOPSIS 
RDG was commissioned to provide a design solution for exhumation works at St. James’ Garden, London Euston. The temporary roof was to provide a weatherproof cover for archaeologists and the operatives to carry out works beneath it. 
The roof itself is a multi-span duo-pitch roof with a footprint of approximately 130m x 75m, supported below by bespoke spine beams. The whole structure is supported on 15 steel towers providing obstruction free space beneath. The roof structure has been designed to enable a sliding motion on the supporting beams.
The talk will discuss in detail as to why this approach was taken, other technical challenges faced, and the solutions and innovations in design and consideration used to overcome them.
