Tytherington School
Sutcliffe was appointed by Cheshire East Council to deliver the structural design for a new two-storey classroom block at Tytherington School. The preconstruction surveys confirmed that strip foundations were adequate for the site, but a CCTV drainage survey identified a private sewer running beneath the proposed building. To avoid disruption, Sutcliffe designed a sewer diversion to ensure the drainage system remained fully operational during construction.
