The Structural Engineer, Volume 41, Issue 4, 1963
Introducing the paper Mr. Frischmann said that large diameter piles, with the help of soil engineering, offered us the possibility of economically founding buildings of the same height as those seen on the Manhattan skyline.
An interconnected two-way grillage of portal frames spanning 82 ft 6 in. with a height above foundation level of 35 ft was adopted for the main boiler room of a new heat generating station for a precinct heating scheme in Bristol. The framework was designed in reinforced concrete and had to sustain a loading of approximately 1000 tons. Derek Bond
