Orthodontic Surgery, Ballymena

This purpose-built orthodontic surgery was built on a brown-field site, formerly a telecommunications depot with pylons, aerials and existing building.

The surgery incorporates six ground floor consultation rooms with support ancillaries, conference room, office, laboratory and staff room.

The basement is constructed in reinforced concrete in-situ wall and floor slab, with tanking and external insulation. Ground floor construction consists of pre-cast hollow-core units on compacted hardcore with no void; with floating screed on insulation atop pre-cast units.

To minimise the visual impact of the building in the landscape, the car park is partially hidden by generously planted raised earth mounds. Rainwater and surface water are fed into a soak-away which is located in the earth banks.
