Services
Structural Engineering
Our structural engineering team utilises advanced computer modelling to create efficient designs for all construction materials. We specialise in foundation design, steel structures, and sustainable building solutions incorporating thermal mass and recycled materials. Our services cover residential developments, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects requiring structural analysis, BIM integration, and RAAC assessment.
Civil Engineering
We provide comprehensive civil engineering solutions including highway design, sustainable drainage systems, and geotechnical engineering. Our expertise covers SuDS implementation, earthworks management, and foundation reuse for residential and commercial developments. We deliver site-specific solutions integrating ground investigation data and environmental considerations throughout project lifecycles.
Contaminated Land Assessments
Our environmental engineers conduct full-phase contaminated land assessments from desk studies to remediation verification. We specialise in developing cost-effective strategies for brownfield redevelopment, including waste management plans and environmental permitting compliance for industrial and residential sites.
Flood Risk
We deliver tiered flood risk assessments for planning applications, from initial screening studies to detailed site-specific modelling. Our services include property flood resilience surveys and compensatory storage solutions to mitigate surface water risks for residential and commercial developments.
Forensic Investigation
Our team identifies root causes of structural defects through detailed site inspections and forensic analysis. We provide comprehensive repair specifications and foundation strengthening solutions for residential properties and commercial buildings experiencing structural issues.
