What we do

Structural design, bridge inspections, temporary works, highway design, Principal Designer, project management and asset management. Advice and design from project inception, through planning and engineering, to leading the site delivery phase.

Client-focused. Not just design.

We believe in client-focused services: not only the design, but the liaison with local authorities and statutory bodies that gets a project approved and built.

Our team’s experience gives us a wide understanding of how client organisations such as local authorities, highway authorities and statutory bodies work, so we can help you secure approvals for your project, and keep it moving.

Project life cycle

From inception to inspection.

We advise and design from day one, then stay with the project through approvals, tender and site, and on into the asset’s working life. Fewer hand-offs means fewer surprises.

  1. Inception

    We listen first: the brief, the constraints, the budget and what success looks like for you.

  2. Feasibility & concept

    Options tested early and honestly, with cost and sustainability weighed from day one.

  3. Design

    Calculations, drawings and specifications to the Eurocodes, DMRB and the relevant standards.

  4. Approvals

    Liaison with local and highway authorities and statutory bodies such as Network Rail and Transport for London.

  5. Tender

    Contract documents and bills of quantities to the MCHW, so the scope and the budget are clear.

  6. Site delivery

    Resident engineering, temporary works coordination and fast answers when site throws up a problem.

  7. Asset management

    Inspections and condition reporting that keep your structures safe and your records current.
